Not to be too judgmental. But it’s always sad to hear about a maker having to do something else out of necessity that is arguably less beneficial to society or themselves (not being able to user their talents to produce something).

What kind of jewellery would this guy have been able to offer if he wasn’t schlepping product between retailers to make ends meet?

Making a living as an artist has always been difficult and rare. The desire to create and the existence of a market for what you want to create are largely uncorrelated things.

Are society’s needs for jewelry currently unmet?
