Creative Beading

How can i sell african beaded earings, and Masai necklaces to Dubai, Uk or other parts of the world?

I live in Kenya and fell in love with some of the Masai beaded jewellery and would really want to start selling them outside the country. My intention is to create a network that can help me find the right people looking for products such as the ones i am selling. Also, being able to identify what people, especially those who cannot have access to some of the african jewellery and crafts, would help me work toward fulfing their dreams and mine at the same time.

If these items are handmade, you can start your business on Etsy.com, which is a source for handcrafted items of all kinds – crafts, jewelry, photography, paintings, etc.

You can check out their selling FAQ here:

You will pay a small fee to list your items and a small commission on the items once they are sold, but you don’t have to worry about any set up costs or other transaction fees. I think this would be a good place to get started.
