How much capital do you need for the piece? Do you present your investors with a resume of previous work? What does your year look like if you only make margins on pieces, and you don't become popular?

The people who you're asking for investments are numbers guys. It sounds like you're trying to communicate that you see an angle into this industry that's hard to communicate with numbers. You'll have to demonstrate to them that you've had success at this in the past. I think you're better off not even trying to convince them from that angle, focus on a top-down view of the industry. Give them the same 'ol shit. Jewelry industry is "x". I want to build a jewelry brand. It involves using celebrities/influencers/etc. I have access to people through these channels.

I bring up scrap value as an assurance you can provide your investors. If scrap value is so high, why not just get a business loan? You make a $100,000 piece, insure it, yadda yadda. If it doesn't catch the eye of someone wealthy, the bank still owns the gold in the part. You're just out your own labor.

Sorry if any of that sounded patronizing, can't tell your actual experience level.
