Jewellery design

[Milton]

Getting Started:

I am going to set up my own jewellery business. I have just graduated with a degree in Jewellery design and making and want to go out on my own. I am finding it really hard to find the correct market for myself. A customer that wants what I make and will have the income in order to buy it yet not be out of my league socially where I wouldn't understamd the market. Do you have any advice on identfying my market successfully - I bellevie this to be the key to the success of my business and am finding it all rather cloudy.
