Correct Beading Supplies Help You Improve Sales
Beading supplies including jewelry display, jewelry box, storage & packaging, jewelry tools and etc. But some jewelry businessmen may still have not realized that choosing correct beading supplies will help him to improve his sales. Why? Reasons are followed.
Jewelry Display
Jewelry displays are available anywhere in jewelry market. There are several different types of displays which are sorted by their usages, for instance, bracelet displays, earring displays, necklace displays, ring displays, presentation boxes and other displays. All those jewelry displays come in different colors, shapes, sizes and styles. They are made of different materials, such as acrylic, glass, wood, stainless steel and some other metals. Earrings, rings, bracelets and necklaces are the most common jewelry pieces that should be displayed effectively to be able to win the attention of consumers. Someone said that showing jewelry is the key to selling jewelry. As a saying goes which looks good sell good. That is true. Jewelry displays in the stores are a part of their advertisement. Today even the custom jewelry stores show off their creations through jewelry display.
Jewelry Box
No doubt that there are jewelry pieces, there are jewelry boxes. Jewelry boxes are produced by various materials, such as aluminum, cardboard, cloisonné, leathern, porcelain, silk, velours and so on. They are designed in plenty of colors, sizes and shapes. Some are cute, some are elegant, and some are neutral. According to their sizes and shapes, they have different usages, for bracelets, for earrings, for necklaces or for rings. If you sell jewelry articles, I think you must have some jewelry boxes for your customers’ selection, especially if they buy jewelry as a gift, in that case having a suitable jewelry box is quite important. If you have no such one, you may lose this business or this customer, because people prefer to enjoy one-stop shipping.
Storage & Packaging
These beading supplies contain beads containers, bags and pouches made of different materials. They are available in various colors, sizes and designs. To jewelry makers, many times they need to keep jewelry components separated to avoid scratching, prevent silver from being tarnished, package rest items or sort beads. As a seller, it would be great if you can offer these beading supplies as well as jewelry beads.
Jewelry Tools
If you are just a jewelry business, you are not only need to offer jewelry tools but also need to know how to use them clearly, so that you can teach your customers and improve your sales.
No matter what beading supplies you need, search them on the internet and you will find a wide range of selection. I bought all my beading supplies from an online market which is named as PandaHall. I like their products and enjoy one-stop shopping there.

Five Essential Jewelry Tools for Beaded Jewelry Making
Making beaded jewelry has a lot of funs. However, are you confused by what jewelry tools should you choose when making beaded jewelry? Before you begin beading, take time to analyze which tools you will need to start on your beading project. Here I would like to share five essential jewelry tools for making beaded jewelry with you.
1. Nipper Tool
As a beader, you should to know that a nipper tool is the most important tool to have. It is basically a cutting tool that has a angled blade which will help you get in between beads for a tight, close cut.
2. Round Nose Pliers
These found nose pliers have found noses or tips, and are used for creating wire loops. All wire warp jewelry use these pliers—whether for making simple drop beaded earrings or creating a wire wrapped pendant or focal. The size of the loop depends on how far down the plier tips you grasp the wire.
3. Chain Nose Pliers
Chain nose pliers, also known as flat nose pliers, are smooth and flat on the inside. These come in very handy for holding jewelry, pulling wire tight, or especially if you are wire wrapping jewelry to grip the wire and hold onto one end. They are best tool to use for a variety of things including opening jump rings, closing crimp covers, straightening wire loops, making right angle bends in wire and flat crimping.
4. Memory Wire Shears
Memory wire shear is a must have item in every beader’s tool box. It is great to use for cutting heavier gauges of wire as well as plated chain. Memory wire jewelry is great because it is so simple to make. Simple, as long as you have memory wire shears to cut it. They are extra durable and especially made to cut hardened memory wire.
5. Tweezers
Tweezers allow you to position beads and hold thread while pulling knots tight, used especially for stringing pearls and other knot-work. They are also handy if you need to untie a knot. Some beaders prefer split ring pliers, but to me tweezers to be a great and inexpensive alternative.
When you first started beading, I think the first investment should go into beading tools. I am sure you want to use the right jewelry tools to ensure your jewelry pieces come out right. I would recommend you to have a look at those jewelry tools on PandaHall.com. You can easily find what you need there at lower prices.

This comes in handy when you want to make sure your beads are securely in place. Bent nose pliers have a tip that is bent upwards. Wire or side cutters are used to cute stringing material and light gauge wire. Never cut memory wire with side or flush cutters, use memory wire cutters instead. Tweezers can be one of the handiest tools for picking up tiny beads when stringing. And you will need a beading needle when you are working with thin thread and tiny beads.
