Direct sales is definitely not for everyone. Just as it is with any other type of home business, there is an initial investment. You also have to put a lot of time and effort into growing your business to start earning money.
While it's true there are thousands of people across the country making five and six figures a year through direct sales, it's safe to say there are many more who are not.
Still, if you've ever considered getting involved in direct sales, jewelry companies are pretty popular at the moment.
And, as many direct sales consultants will tell you, these products often sell themselves if you make a point to wear the pieces while you're out and about.
Plus, now that social and online sales are such a big thing, you no longer have to rely on just your inner circle and acquaintances to make sales!
For today's post, I've made a list of 10 of the most reputable direct sales jewelry companies you may want to consider, if you think you have what it takes to make something like this work:
10 Direct Sales Jewelry Companies
1. Stella & Dot
Consultants for Stella & Dot, also known as “Independent Stylists” earn up to 40 percent commission on sales. Stella & Dot pays your commissions out weekly to a Stella & Dot debit card.
Right now, Stella & Dot is having a special where you can launch your business for $99. This is cheap considering what many other direct sales companies charge.

More listings to come! This was originally al list of 10, but I had to remove a few that went out of business.
So that sums up our list! If starting a home-based jewelry business interests you but you can't actually make jewelry yourself, you can take some time and research all the companies above.
Browse their websites and products, read about how and why they each got started, see which one has a “style” that appeals to you and people you know.
Also, pay attention to the prices of the jewelry and think about what your likely client base can afford.
One advantage to joining any one of these companies is that, even if it doesn't work out, you get to keep the starter kit you paid for and all the discounted jewelry in it. So, you can just look at it like you spent the money to get yourself a nice selection of new jewelry.

Good luck if you decide to pursue any of these opportunities!
