		<description>That necklace is gorgeous...those look like pyrite spacers??

I always admire shops on Etsy where they sell a lot, but put in the profile that they can&#039;t offer wholesale. I see so many people viewing wholesale as a sign they are making it, but ultimately some end up feeling overwhelmed and pressured. I read an article where the seller said that offering wholesale is a choice and we shouldn&#039;t think turning it down is bad business. I like the way you&#039;ve balanced your own business and realized that making jewelry for pleasure (as well as income) is your goal...not just income/fame.</description>
