The Power of Community in the Permanent Jewelry Industry

Written by Sarah Smith | Feb 7, 2024 2:00:00 PM

Permanent jewelry is an ever growing phenomenon that just keeps growing in popularity. As a permanent jewelry artist, embracing a community over competition mindset opens doors to a plethora of benefits that contribute to a thriving and supportive industry.

Rather than perceiving fellow artists as competitors, the community mindset sees them as potential collaborators, celebrating the strength found in many unique styles and perspectives. Every permanent jewelry artist brings something to the industry creating an exciting and diverse marketplace.

In this community-focused environment, knowledge becomes a shared resource rather than a closely guarded secret. Successful permanent jewelry artists are collaborating with one another and exchanging information, techniques, tools, and industry trends. The mindset of community over competition creates a support system for new business owners, providing artists with a network of like-minded individuals who understand the challenges, celebrate successes, and offer support during tough times.

Any permanent jewelry artist will tell you about the supportive nature of the permanent jewelry community. Popular Facebook groups such as “Original Permanent Jewelry Group” have thousands of members and are safe places for permanent jewelry artists to bring their questions for feedback and their successes for praise. The members of the group are empathetic of what each other are going through and are willing to offer any support they can.

Beyond shared knowledge and support, this approach encourages collaborative opportunities among artists. Partnerships and shared projects emerge as a natural outcome of a community that values cooperation. Such collaborations not only expand individual reach but also create a diverse and dynamic market.

Embracing community over competition is not just about business—it's about cultivating a positive and uplifting environment. Rather than feeling pressured to outdo one another, artists can focus on their unique strengths and contributions, leading to a more fulfilling and enjoyable creative journey. This transformative mindset redefines success in the permanent jewelry industry, shaping a community that thrives on unity and shared success.
