Default Please help on a custom jewelry muse!

I have known of a cool cold read mind trick that taps into the sub-conscious and consolidates a persons self image into a single object.

What I would like to do is set up a website that will ask people a serious of questions, and based on their response, it would offer to sell them a custom necklace or bracelet with that object as they described it.

I just started researching. How would I go about finding a custom jewelry maker? There is a book out there on this, but it's an old cold read trick. Do I need to worry about copyright? Any help would be appreciated!

A custom dropshipped product would be prohibitively expensive for what I think is your target demographic. You definitely want to keep something like this between 19.99 and 39.99. That being said, I'd search alibaba and come up with 10-20 variants and then outsource a program based on a questionaire inspired by your cold read trick that takes the user to an individual sales page for the particular trinket.

Totally off topic but all I can think of at the moment is "what's your power animal" from Fight Club.

Thanks for the advice. I figured custom jewelry would be expensive. I will test pricing on ebay and make sure it follows Tim's model of 4-5 times markup. I tried alibaba for something else and I got killed with spam. Is there any similar, more reputable sites? Obviously, profits is what matters most, but I would like to see if it's possible to get an American made product.

P.S. SLIDE!!!!!!
