    On the other hand I have found that many galleries don't seem to know what to do with jewellery. Some think it can be treated the same way as a painting which is hung on a wall and it sells itself. In reality much of it is stuck in a cabinet, displayed badly, often not well lit or cleaned when it needs a bit more effort.
    I was in a newly refurbished gallery yesterday and they had chosen to stick their jewellery cabinets on walls in dark corners instead of out there with the chainsaw cut slab of wood on a plinth in the middle of the gallery floor selling for thousands :/

    Yes... In return, the gallery needs to do its part (and listen when told they're not displaying stuff well). Mind you, the gallery cleaning pieces can go awry too - had one of my (commercial) chains break during a cleaning session. Irksome, but quick to fix.

    It's commonplace I've found not to undercut prices amongst galleries or online.
    That said, I've found at fairs there is more flexibility.
