Artbead Divine Jewelry Market is a select group of jewelry designers committed to providing exceptional selection and service to our customers. Jewelry designers interested in becoming a part of ADJ please consider the following:

Requirements for membership are:

~Shop has a minimum of 12 designer jewelry listings incorporating artisan lampwork

~Shop has a large percentage of their jewelry product line devoted to incorporating artist-made glass beads (known in the trade as lampwork, referred to here as artbeads) combined with other quality elements

~No mass-produced lampwork beads

~No plated metals—sterling and fine silver, solid copper, vermeil and goldfill ARE quality accepted materials

~Merchant’s shop is aesthetically pleasing and offers designer jewelry in unique styles

This market is juried by a team of founding merchants and by invitation only. Our plan is to grow slowly and thoughtfully, adding new merchants mostly by current membership referrals. In regard to designers with similar styles, our goal is to invite merchants who have something different than what is already offered. We will seek out talented designers who complement each others‘ styles in an effort to offer quality selections at varying price points to our clientele.

Notification will be provided within a week - one way or the other - if a shop is being considered for acceptance or does not fit into Artbead Divine Jewelry Market at this time. Additional information in the form of a checklist will be provided to merchants being considered for acceptance. Communication and clear expectations are key to long and rewarding relationships as market members.

Merchants of Artbead Divine Jewelry Market are members of a team. We're allies, not competitors. Differing opinions and open communication are encouraged. Negativity and drama find another place! The designers here love what we do and we‘re happy to be here. Our team offers diversity, uniqueness, quality and exceptional service to clientele who will want to return again and again.

We're working together to develop a strong community within our market. Make time to be active in our Artbead Divine Jewelry Market forums. Our lively forums are home to discussion, shared decision-making and getting to know and support each other. Our blog is a place to feature market members‘ work, share tips, and let the world know what's going on at Artbead Divine Jewelry Market and 1000Markets.

These policies are subject to change as 1000Markets and Artbead Divine Jewelry Market grow, to respond to the changing needs of the market, its merchants, and its customers.
