# How to sell beads and pearls to Sweden by person?
Author: [Borttaget]

As my pics showed here, there are many nice, beautiful beads and pearls in China. They are cheaper here too with good quality.

I would like to sell beads and pearls to Sweden for the lovers of beads and pearls.

The question is how to sell it as cheaper as possible to Sweden. As you know, it is not cheap to deliver beads and pearls to Sweden since they are usually heavy. Even I can buy much cheaper here in China, but then it will be somehow expensive when taking the delivery charge into account.

So I really need some ideas here to solve this problem. How to make the final price still cheaper if sending beads and pearls to Sweden?

I do appreciate your suggestions. Thanks.![Glad](http://smyckestillverkning.ifokus.se/tiny3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif "Glad")

Of what I can understand from my own shopping sprees on chinese sites the postage is´nt that much higher than the swedish postage...

Some sellers I have to do with takes a dollar or 1.95$ extra for each strand och gemstone beads.

How to do this I do not know but I love the idea :)

I too am interested in buying from you. Both beads and pearls.

What about tags, you know those little things added to bracelets and necklaces with the name (or something else) of the creator. Do you have contact with someone that can make those too?

Hi LeeAnne, I dont know anyone who can make that kind of tag here. But I think there is someone who can do this. Could you show me some pics to see if I really get what you mean? Thanks

What she means is a metal pendant, not to big that is either blank for stamping yourself or designed accordingly to the buyers wishes.

The designed ones are quite expensive and the blank ones are not to cheap either. I actually could not find any pics at the moment couse my head hurts.. and then I cant search

I think we are intressed in a lot of differant beads. But mainly those we can not get chep in sweden. So the problem is not to find pearls we like to buy, but to deside how much we wont and how expensive it may bee(including posting).

So as for my self I am intressed in alot of pearls and colors. So the hard thing will be how much can I afford and what do I want most.

As tags, it is clear from the pics. I can ask around to see if anybody here has any ideas, where to find it, like this.

As beads and pearls, Leja, I understand what you mean. I will do some study today, trying to get some price, and then I will put the prices here, including the price for beads and pearls and the price for delivery.

Thanks for your suggestions.![Glad](http://smyckestillverkning.ifokus.se/tiny3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif "Glad")

I have some beads to show you via that link. Tell me what you think about the price after you take a look.

Thanks a lot. Then my little business starts with your help.![Glad](http://smyckestillverkning.ifokus.se/tiny3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif "Glad")

Nice beads. Hard to say anything about the price since I dont know how much will be added (tax and postage). Have you sent anything to Sweden, so you have any experience how much will be added?

About the tags, please check so they not are made of nickel, since many people are allergic to that metal.

LeeAnne, I emailed to you. About tags, I will check now.

Minfisken, I like the first one. But not for my purpose. How big/small is it? I was thinking of smaller ones (10-15mm) and smooth so someone can write whatever you want.

## Comment 17
Author: Emo

Minfisken, could yoy please help me?

Please tell me if I can use these.  
  
I have lots of ideas, but I want to be sure that the signs are acceptable, before I make the pages.  
  
Could you be kind and tell me what I can make better.

Someone promised me many years ago to find out if I could use them, but he let me down.

Emo, the signs in the picture here you can use all of them. I explain here one by one.

The first two are the same, mean to be lucky and propitious.

The 2nd row from left to right are, money and harmony.

The botton row from left to right are, complete and first.

Is this answer ok for you?

## Comment 19
Author: Emo

Thank you very much. Of course I have got them from my chinese dictonary, but I wasn't sure a chinese could read them. It isn't the same, when you use pixels to create signs, but now I can put them on my website with suggestions how to use them.

Do you want to see my "big" pictures for the walls? (15cm\*15cm)

is there any round beads to or are there just bicones? Nothing wrong with bicones  though

## Comment 34

LeeAnne, I got this one for you, have a look

![](http://img08.taobaocdn.com/bao/uploaded/i8/T1WupdXi0oKkCqqYk5_055038.jpg_310x310.jpg)

It is silver and then I guess you may write something on it. The size is 15mm long and 10mm board.

## Comment 35
Author: LeeAnne

How much is the price for 100 of those? Is it possible to get one without the symbols for man/woman and with my name on it?

Attaching a pic of what I think Allamej is talking about.

Poor you, going to bead shops every day to see what you can find for us!

## Comment 36

Yes, a little bit tired to search and find correct prices. But anything is not easier especially at the very beginning, isn't it?![Glad](http://smyckestillverkning.ifokus.se/tiny3/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif "Glad") Besides with your help, it is gettting better and fun too.

LeeAnne, I will ask if it is possible to do without any patterns on tags.

As beads, I will have a look today.

I have more pictures to show beads on 3mm with different shapes. Have a look at my space link:

LeeAnne, about tags, this is what I know:

if the size of tag is about 10mm broad, 15mm long, 2mm thick, if it is made by silver, each tag will weigh around 4g, then one of tags is 25kr.

Is the size I explained here ok for you?
