I`m confused about whether my work should be in blacksmithing & metal or in beading & jewellery.
Almost all of my work is in sterling silver and is made using metalworking techniques (soldering for starters!). It seems very different to most of what is in the beading & jewelry section ... and yet it is mostly jewelry. So far I`ve only put non-jewelry objects into the blacksmithing & metal section.
Can someone give me some guidance?

| I`m not sure how rigid the categories are here. I took a peek at your Etsy shop and I guess you could do either. I believe there are jewelry pieces in Metalsmithing here, right?

I would put the jewelry in the jewelry category. Having work posted there that`s very different from what other people are posting there isn`t a bad thing - it will make you stand out! People interested in/looking for silver jewelry are more likely to look there, and when they go there they will easily find you. That`s definitely a good thing.

| I post in both depending on what it is. If it is completely metal and involved a number of metalsmithing skills than I post it where people will actually appreciate it If the metal componenets and skills are secondary to the beadwork, or just equal components, I put it in beading where people will actually appreciate it.

i wasn`t sure about that either when positing an item a moment ago...
it`s a bit confusing!

| Hi, I am new here - just posted three things. How does this work? Do people just contact you if they are interested in something?
