Beads by the strand, findings by the hundred, and a design that explodes into fourteen colorways before lunch. Jewelry is a pennies business in a crowded market, which is exactly why the pennies have to be counted — the maker who knows her cost per pair is the one who survives the table next to the $6 earrings. MadeKeeper counts them.

Say you assemble a pair of drop earrings:
At $14 a pair you keep $13.09 before fees — which is why the real question isn't materials, it's whether the fair's booth fee and your Saturday divide out to a wage. MadeKeeper answers that too.
If you describe stones and metals in listings, MadeKeeper keeps your purchase records per material — what a supplier called it and what you paid — so your descriptions have paperwork behind them.
Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

That's the trap — any single pair is pennies, but a season of shows is thousands of pairs, fees, and Saturdays. The pennies decide whether the table paid, and MadeKeeper adds them up without you thinking about it.
One design, many colorways — each variant keeps its own stock and sales. You'll learn that the terracotta sells three-to-one over the sage, and make next batch accordingly.
Log a lot at what you paid and cost pieces from it at a fair average. It stays honest without demanding you catalog every bead in the bin.
