In mid-2022 I created an Etsy page called JustJumpRings to sell itty-bitty quantities of a few select sizes of rings. I was curious to see what that different “ecosystem” of jump ring customers might be like. It’s been interesting! Not wildly profitable, but definitely fun – and different.
And then I realized that Etsy might be a good place to offer my finished pieces. Over the 20+ years that Spiderchain Jewelry has existed I’ve tried “this and that” for selling finished work – but eventually realized that my main passion is actually for producing the jump rings themselves – and so I let go of the idea of selling my finished work. But then I had a good experience with my first Etsy storefront, so why not make another? In late 2022 I created my ArtisanEccentrica shop. I invite you to take a look, let me know what you think, and possibly find a Spider-made something that you’d like to own. *grin*
My teen daughter might disagree, but it feels like I’m (almost) entering the 21st century!

So Etsy is the only place to buy your jump rings anymore?
Spider says
Oh goodness no! My jump rings are still here, in their first home. I have simply added some other options on Etsy.
If you want itty-bitty quantities of just a few select sizes? Go to Etsy.
If you want the same sold-by-weight that you’re used to with aalllllllll the sizes? Stay here. *grin*

When I click on ‘shop’ and then ‘jump rings’ there are no options to click on

Hi Trish,
The exact same thing happens to me, but if I turn my phone horizontal all the selections show up. (I have an iPhone)
