Most shops and galleries provide their own consignment contracts. But you may want to supply your own. For a sample consignment agreement, you can check out these sites:

- Whether insurance is provided by the shop, including details on the coverage.

- When and how often the shop pays the artist, and whether a statement of the jewelry sold accompanies the shop's payment to the artist.

- Method of returning any unsold jewelry to artist.

- If the artist must ship the jewelry to the shop, which party pays for the shipping.

- A list (usually on separate sheets of paper) of all pieces of jewelry consigned to the shop - including the piece's item number, quantity, brief description, and suggested retail price.

Be sure both parties have a copy of the consignment agreement - signed and dated - for their files.
