Seattle can be a mixed bag when it comes to jewelry. It is an event loving city so there are allot of places to set up and sell your jewelry. Farmer's makets, street fairs, etc happen almost every weekend. The one downside as a result is...as we like to joke...you can't throw a rock in Seattle without hitting a musician or "jewelry designer". There are a fair number of people who string beads and sell them. If you have a unique style, formal training, etc. to make yourself can stand out...it's a big plus.
Good luck and let me know if you have anymore ?s.

Your jewelry looks like it would be good "business-wear", so sales at a business/industrial trade show might be a possibility. The Quilt Show, Cat and/or Dog shows... New Age type events, etc. are worth checking into, as well-- Mingo (of Glasscapes) says they've done better selling their beads at the Quilt Show than at bead shows.
I haven't checked into any of these personally, because I can't "booth sit" for an entire show, but if the entry/table fees are something you can afford to take a chance, they might be a good venue for you. Your jewelry looks like it would be very good for "business wear".

It's still our annual vacation. Vendors have better sales, of course, but they have to be at their table/booth and/or have somebody else manning it at all times.

For jewelry (and fashion)-- think "Goth"... piercings... tatoos... costumes of all sorts from body paint and pasties to full coverage 'toon character outfits... SCA/Rennies also attend, so if you do "period" type items, those are a potential good seller. The weapons vendors do brisk business-- they've started selling chain maille jewelry, and sales of that seems to be pretty good at their booths.

It is nice to meet you & see your jewelry - very nice!
Let me know how the rep thing goes - I've been avoiding that part of the business for years but am eager to devote all of my time to designing & let the sales/contacts part of it go to someone else.....
