Profitable Business Idea – Manufacturing of Exclusive Curtains

Curtains are obligatory element of an interior and it will not be replaced by jalousies any similar products. Even having ordered jalousies on windows, masters of the house or apartments will not refuse from habitual curtains. The enterprises which would offer rather original and beautiful curtains simply are not present in the majority of cities, and demand for such goods is huge. It is also warmed up by a new direction of textile design which advises to change curtains depending on a season and mood. So, having opened business on tailoring of curtains, you can be assured that you will not remain without work.

By the way, sellers of jalousies and sellers of curtains are not competitors today at all, but allies. Far not everyone is ready to hang up heavy portieres in the apartment but it is necessary to be protected from light somehow. Therefore citizens will acquire a jalousie and as their kind does not associate with house cosiness, will be covered with a habitual tulle curtains. Similar cooperation will be favorable to both parties: sellers of a jalousie can propagandize their goods as the important element intended for protection of an interior, including curtains, from burning out. Sellers of curtains — can position their products as the part of interior that gives house cosiness.

Any successful business on tailoring of curtains is based on two components: salon where goods is presented, and shop where it is produced. However, in a century of information technologies, the role of an exhibition platform can play an Internet site where colorful photos of different curtains will be presented. But remember, the buyer is inclined to trust more to goods he can not only see, but also touch. Curtains salon will perfectly serve this purpose. Also it is not so necessarily to open shop on tailoring. It is possible to find home workers which have the sewing-machines.

To organize your own salon, you will need the area about 30 sq. m. You can also use your usual apartment as salon. Apartment will almost not demands repair because all walls, windows and apertures in it will be hanged up by various stylish curtains. It is necessary to present many of the stylistic variety, after your entire client does not wish to buy ready-made curtains, and prefers to sew exclusive curtains, wants something especial. As a rule, he searches not simply for pieces of a fabric which cover windows, but stylish curtains from the qualitative fabric, executed by the skilled designer on the basis of its wishes so the surroundings of your salon should represent your goods in all its magnificence.

If you have decided to open shop, it is required to you to begin with five work places for which there are enough 90 sq. meters of the area. You can acquire the sewing machine of the Chinese production for $500, overlock costs about $2000, it is desirable to have also the machine for secret seams – its price is in limits of one thousand dollars.

Basically, variants are possible, as they say. You can have shop, and not have own salon. In this case you can simply carry out orders of salons which have no own production. Advantage of the given variant – you are relieved of necessity of dialogue with whimsical clients. However in practice more often work of the enterprise for tailoring of curtains is builds under other scheme: the businessman opens own salon and incurs all creative part, and the foreign sewing shop is directly engaged in sewing. The main thing here is availability of the talented designer which can create really exclusive things. Such designer will be simultaneously both to carry out gauging, and to work as the sales manager. It is desirable to have also and the person with own transport and certain abilities which will hang up ready curtains in-home at clients. This person will also mount eaves. As a rule, these workers are involved from outside for the fixed payment.

Approximate figures on work of the salon look as follows. Different manufacturers estimate the catalogue of fabrics where the product samples are presented, in 20-1000 dollars. On one window the average needed about 6 meters. The margin constitutes not less than 50%, depending on ambitions of the designer it can be and much bigger. As a rule, one customer brings to salon from 700 to 1000 thousand dollars. As practice shows, investments of a few thousand dollars will be quite enough for that business has started to work – very good if to consider, how fast it can pay off.

Process of Manufacturing Gemstones and Cabochons

In the previous article I shared physical properties and some magical characteristics of Gemstone Beads. In the article, at first I would like to give a small introduction of gemstone who are new in this industry and some who want to gain knowledge about beads and cabochons. Let’s have a look the meaning of:

Gemstone – A precious or semiprecious stone that may be used as a jewel when cut and polished.

Cabochon: a highly polished gem that is cut convexly but without facets

Grading of Gem Stones

Gemstone and stone beads grading is less formal than gemstone grading as a whole. Still there are some generally accepted rules that determine which grade is assigned to a stand. Grade is assigned based on a letter with A being best and “D” being worst. Note that “D” might be just what you want for a specific project, so don’t dismiss them as worthless. Sometimes you might see gem grades of A A A and A A. Those are real gem grades with A A A being near perfect. It’s rare for such good quality stones to be cut into beads. They are worth more as faceted gems. The overall quality of the stones in the strand is usually derived from a combination of the classic gemstone qualities of color, cut and clarity. I will include more about grading in the next article but as far as I think you may have some idea about gemstones.

Manufacturing process:

Raw Material:

There are various kinds of gemstones like ruby, emerald, sapphire, amethyst, citrine, aquamarine and many more. These gemstones are found in different parts of the world and are imported by the suppliers and exporters direct from the mines as rough stones. These rough stones work as raw material for further processing.

Shape and size:

These rough edged stones are further decided to convert into shapes like oval, round, square, faceted, chips, smooth etc. and size as per the requirement.

Cutting and polishing:

The skilled craftsmen in the manufacturing unit cut and polish the stone using modern machines.

Most however, are cut and polished for usage as jewelry. The two main classifications are stones cut as smooth, dome shaped stones called cabochons, and stones which are cut with a faceting machine by polishing small flat windows called facets at regular intervals at exact angles.

Stones which are opaque such as opal, turquoise, variscite, etc. are commonly cut as cabochons. These gems are designed to show the stone’s color or surface properties as in opal and star sapphires. Grinding wheels and polishing agents are used to grind, shape and polish the smooth dome shape of the stones.

Gems which are transparent are normally faceted, a method which shows the optical properties of the stone’s interior to its best advantage by maximizing reflected light which is perceived by the viewer as sparkle. There are many commonly used shapes for faceted stones. The facets must be cut at the proper angles, which varies depending on the optical properties of the gem. If the angles are too steep or too shallow, the light will pass through and not be reflected back toward the viewer. The faceting machine is used to hold the stone onto a flat lap for cutting and polishing the flat facets. Rarely, some cutters use special curved laps to cut and polish curved facets.

Jewelry Making:

Finally these gems are used for making beautiful Jewelry. There are many kinds of jewelry tools that help to connect the beads and metals for making necklaces, rings pendants, earrings etc. Silver, Gold and Platinum are mostly used for making jewelry with semi precious and precious beads.

Now that you know the basics, how do you acquire practical knowledge? Visit to the wholesale suppliers and exporters manufacturing units and notice how they process.
