I've checked out some growers markets but they all have a two year waiting list. I just need somewhere affordable but with a lot of people.

I would suggest ebay, or cafe press. If you want to sell at fairs and shows it cost a couplehundred just to get booth space, then you have to think about how much it is going to cost to put together a booth with tables and everything. there are other online websites that you can go to. And you can go to the fairs and find one of the people who already has a booth and see if they might sell your stuff also. Gift shows are the best to get into though.

Ebay is not the answer. It is the low-rent district of jewelry.
To get top dollar for your jewelry designs, you have to build in some snob appeal. Ebay, in terms of snob appeal, on a scale of 1-10, ranks at -3.
I don't know where you are, but explore high-level arts and crafts shows, or jewelry designer seminars.
You might also go to a high-end jeweler and try to get him to carry your designs on consignment. I have no idea what the financial arrangement would be; but I have heard there is a tremendous markup in jewelry, so you need to price accordingly.
If you don't have "snob appeal" you have to piggyback on someone who does.
Good luck.

If you said where you live you might get some useful answers. Not knowing what area you are in realy limits the good answers. I mean what works in NYC may not work in DC or LA or Philly and vice versa.
How nice is the jewelry, maybe you can get a national outlet to pick it up if you have quality and can supply the demand.
Good luck

maybe try and find a place for rent and use that as your own store? but untill then maybe if you have a gardge or a base ment or some extra place in your house you could use that was a place and put up fliyers and stuff and when you make enough money maybe start your own buissness.

I would go with ebay, but it does also help to have your own website showcasing your products which you can actively market on the internet.

Ebay, farmers market, flea market, garage sale. My mom and her friend did the same, it was really hard to sell.
