Well, as someone who loves jewelry so much I had to learn to make it from making my own metal components to making my own glass, and taking a buttload of courses and classes on it, I have to say that selling Silpada is a much more logical choice. You won't have to bother with kilns and torches and welders and zillions of tools, and spend the first year or so making unwearable blobs out of precious metals.
I agree - tooling up can be very pricey. However, I look at it as saving money on psychiatry - for me, the work is therapeutic. In fact, I've been happier:doowapstart: lately, and find I'm spending much less time at the bench.
