The Gold and Silver workers of Thailand can make incredibly beutiful
charms
which you combine with sea shells, abalone, quartz to make a POWER
necklace, waist bracelet
or a magical wrist bracelet. As traders, we search for a LINE, full of
ITEMS that we can carry on the airplane easily. ITems that don't require
shipping. Or, at least, when shipped, come in a package no bigger than
a box of cereal, insured, by air freight. 
WHERE
DO WE FIND WORKERS? Taxco Mexico has had centuries of SILVER MINES and
hundreds if not thousands of silver working FAMILIES. They already have
the tools, too. The Philippines could have, if you introduced it. Spain,
Italy both countries that have centuries of metal working as a legacy of
HISTORY. You want to find the most inexpensive workers, and create charms
that have relevance. People want charms related to babies, homes, money,
love, custom made names, written out.....the tree of life, youth, health.
Add chunks of semi precious stones, Tesla COILS to increase the voltage,
and you will have a magic bracelet, necklace or individual charms that
people will want to own. Will pay to own.
And instead of emeralds and sapphires hanging off your charm-chains,
try ABALONE either
as pieces or
set in silver. 
That is a LIVE LINK where you will see more examples of inexpensive GEM
STONE ABALONE.
