How much should I charge for my handmade jewelry?

I make jewelry and I'm going to sell it at my community center's flea market. I'm 14, and I don't use anything expensive when I make my jewelry, no diamonds, real pearls, or anything like that. But, the jewelry does look really nice and I think a lot of people will want to buy it. But I don't know what to price them at.
Could you tell me how much I should price a...
-necklace
-bracelet
-earrings

Obviously, I think you should first work out how much it COST to make each item and start from there. I also think the prices should vary a bit, depending on the size, materials used etc. I don't think people would want to pay too much for handmade jewelery at a market. Maybe you could get £3-£5 for some earrings, £4-£6 for a bracelet and about £6-£8 for a necklace. Obviously I haven't seen your jewelery (some pictures would have helped). Also, you could try making friendship bracelets or something like that for little kids and selling them for like 50p. Alternatively, you could just suggest people make an offer and you could "barter" with them. If it goes well, maybe next time you could make a lot more jewelery aimed at different people and you could try using different materials to make more profit.
Hope this helped and good luck!
