Alot of new jewelry companies

[Leanne McGarr]

I have noticed there are alot of new DS jewelry companies starting up.

I know there are some ladies in Thirty One that are taking on second businesses right now with the changes that are coming in 2017. Some of our Upper Level Leaders are looking.

I have seen Chloe and Isabel, Magnolia and Vine, 10 Easy Street, etc.

I know Park Lane is still out there because they have been approaching some of our Leaders. That is what they do.

Makes me wonder. Most of the jewelry companies close within several years so I guess I don't understand why all of the new companies are mostly jewelry.

I've noticed that too. I've seen a lot of ads in my Facebook feed. I feel like it's hard to do anything unique enough with jewelry to make starting a company a viable option.

Trades of Hope is now 5 years old and yes, most of our line is jewelry. For us, that is because jewelry, scarves, etc. are some of the easier things for our artisans to be able to make and sell in the US market place but we do have many lovely things that are home accessories too.
The market will settle out who has the items the public wants with time I guess. <3

What is happening with 31 in the future that is making people look elsewhere? That doesn't sound too good

I was wondering the same thing about 31. Another new jewelry company that is still in pre launch I think is Grace & Heart. I was going to start with them but changed my mind and didn't want to start over with a new company. Decided to just stay where I am!
