A bra remains next to your skin the entire day. If you are not wearing the correct size, imagine the discomfort you’ll experience throughout the whole day. It is important to note that your bra size does not remain the same for any great length of time because change is a law of nature and your breasts are no exception. The only difference is that change is more noticeable at some times and less at others. The change becomes most evident in cases of weight loss, weight gain or during pregnancy.

Even though a bra remains the most intimate item of a woman’s wardrobe, research has shown that about 75% of women do not get their bra size right. This results in problems such as sagging breasts, pain in the shoulders, or tightness in the chest. Therefore, it is important to get the size correct in order to avoid problems and feel elegant, feminine and confident.

Pricing is an issue that many people in the jewelry
business often worry about. However, there is a
method that you can easily use, whether you
purchase jewelry wholesale or make your own
jewelry. Pricing is very important. You don’t want
to charge too much, because you won’t sell
anything. On the other hand, you want to make
sure that you charge enough to make a profit.

If you purchase your jewelry at wholesale prices, a
markup of 15% to 30% is usual, and people will pay
these prices. In the grand scheme of things, apply
the 30% markup, and make that the ‘regular’ price.
When you need to move merchandise hold a sale,
and use the 15% markup price as the sale price.

If you make your own jewelry, determine the total
cost of the piece, including the cost of supplies,
shipping, warehousing and packaging, then apply a
15% markup. With the 15% markup, your jewelry
will be priced at the wholesale price. If you sell the
jewelry to the general public yourself, as opposed
to selling it to retailers, apply the retail price, which
in this case would be about 45% above your costs.
