Another avenue that you may want to to try is to try selling your jewelery on Ebay.com or Etsy.com

While there are funding programs out there to help people - especially women - start their own business - one of the main things that they require is for you to have and present a business plan to show that you are serious about what it is that you want to do.

Actually I just posted in my blog about how 4 Business Plans have won money to start their business from a Business Plan competition! Here is an excerpt from my blog post:

"A new business plan competition! has been announced which will feature $100,000 in cash prizes! The money is being provided by a financial services firm."

Also this site here - business owners idea cafe - also has a grant program for those wanting to start a business.

You could also look into investors. There are still some "angel" investors around but if I were you I would go more with the grants because when you have investors they will want a "piece" of your business so that means that you won't own your business completely.
