Thank you so much for your reply! It helps a lot.
I do have a follow-up question though. You wrote, "You can do this as long as you have started selling or put the items out for sale and you are not just collecting the material." I have a large inventory of raw materials, stones and metals (that I bought in bulk,) which I keep on hand for future jewelry pieces and also offer them to my customers to pick from for custom jewelry pieces. Of all the materials purchases, some I have used and already sold, others are just waiting to be used. Would that count as started selling, or put the items out for sale?
Thank you once again!
