Putting hang tags on your handmade jewelry is a great way of showing your effort at making them, whether they are for selling or for giving to friends.  You can put the name of your business, your full name as its owner, contact info, and other important details.  This is one good technique for a prospective customer to contact you simply.  Some hang tags that are commonly used are business cards, rubber stamps, PC cards, and printed cards. 

If you also sell jewelry supplies like Handmade Glass Beads then put all of the beads in a packet and tie your tag to the packet, that way you can still give your contact information to your customers.  As a start up Jewelry Business Finding a Good Sales Rep might not be a concern at the moment for you due to budget issues, so at this point hang tags are your sales representative.  If budget is an issue they don’t have to be fancy as long as you are getting you name out there as a jeweler.
