How Important the Jewelry Displays for Jewelry Show


Jewelrydisplay is playing a quite important role on jewelry show cases, booth and stores. Jewelry displays are divided as necklace displays, bracelet displays, ring displays and earring displays according to their usages. All these displays are available in different sizes, colors, shapes and materials. No matter what they are, choosing a correct, suitable jewelry displays for your designs are very important and helpful.
Selling jewelry in different places or occasions should choose different jewelry displays. For example, it can be difficult if you sell jewelry as a street vendor, especially if you are working with a large inventory. You have to find a display method which is easy to transport, step up and tear down. When you sell your jewelry designs in a store, you can choose some beautiful and special displays and no need to consider if they are easy to be transported and stepped up. Well, no matter where you sell or show your designs, the displays must be attractive and organized to draw in potential customers. These displays create a setting and atmosphere for your designs that when done properly can make your jewelry designs more desirable to your potential customers. Some jewelry makers may have made a mistake when they started out selling jewelry at craft and jewelry shows that they didn’t spend a lot of time on their displays, as they thought people would buy it if they liked their designs. “How wrong I was,” they said after they realized that thought was wrong. So, don’t ever underestimate the power of a great display to give your jewelry sales a boost.
To sell your handmade jewelry art craft shows, using attractive jewelry displays may seem overwhelming. Along with high quality jewelry, having effective display is essential to your craft show success. You need to consider several factors when you have a show case. First, choose tables and shelves that allow you to display jewelry on different levels. Put the most profitable designs at eye level, where customers will see them first. Second, a good jewelry display will attract your customers’ eye but will “disappear” as background of your design when people come to see. So you can choose some fabric or other things to cover or “decorate” your displays. Third, choose a backdrop which can accentuate your jewelry design aesthetic. Fourth, don’t hang too much jewelry pieces on one displays, or else they will look too mass and hard to attract eyes. Fifth, apart from preparing above props, you also need to prepare a mirror and place it in easy-to-access spot. If people can try on your jewelry and see how it looks on them, they are more likely to buy something.

Jewelry displays are easy to buy, and you can get a wide range of selection when you search them online. Well, you can also try to make some DIY displays because sometime you may need some very special displays to show your very unique designs, or need some displays very urgently and have no time to search them from internet.

There are some jewelry tools essential for jewelry making, including round nose pliers, crimping pliers, nylon tipped pliers, hammers, flat round nose pliers, jewelry needles and etc. Learning how to make loop is an important part of jewelry making. You may need to make loops hang tiny danglers and sew threads through them, to fix hooks at the end or some little trinkets. Crimping pliers are a tool used to press crimp beads to stop beads fall off thread, cord or wire. The main function of needles is sewing. Many a time, you may need to sew beads, stitch a piece of jewelry on fabric or use threads of varying thickness to make your jewelry items. If you are using thread to string beads, a small pair of scissors or a sharp thread cutter/nipper for snipping of the ends neatly is required. Sometimes bead holes may not be cleaned properly by the manufacturers or have small untidy bits sticking to the edges or the hole maybe too small for the wire to enter, for this purpose the bead reamer is produced.

Different types of crafting require specialized tools for achieving high quality look. The craft of sewing uses needles to sew stitches into fabric. Beading and jewelry making also require jewelry needles. Although beading needles appear to be similar to sewing needles, they are specially made to string beads rather than sew fabric. The design of both types of needles suits the activities within their individual crafts. Jewelry needles (beading needles) come in different sizes. They range from 10 to 16. The larger the number, the thinner the needles. When you choose needles for beads, choose a needle that has a number one higher than the beads you will use. For example, for seed beads size 11, you should use jewelry needle at size 12. There are also other needles to get for beading, like twisted wire needles, where the eye collapses as it passes through the needle. These needles are great for stringing beads, but not for piercing fabric.

Jewelry tools are very useful and handy; you’d better to store them well once you don’t need them. About jewelry needles, keep them in the packs that they came with. And don’t throw these needles, unless they are broken.

Gifts come in different kinds, such as candies, toys and so on. Well, jewelry gifts are very popular in recent years. So why not prepare some jewelry like bracelets for your families and friends?

Enameled Alloy Pendants

The first idea of bracelet making is used red glass pearl beads, green flat round rhinestone beads, round antique bronze metal beads with exquisite patters, toggle clasp and jewelry wire. We all know that red, green and white are the main colors of Christmas. So I used these colors in my designs. First, let’s use wire and crimp bead to make a loop to hold toggle ring. Then string 2pcs glass pearl beads, 1pcs antique bronze metal bead, 2pcs glass pearl beads and 2pcs flat round rhinestone beads. Repeat this step for several times. About how many times is depending on the diameter of both your wrist and jewelry beads. Third, string T-bar on jewelry wire and make a loop to hold it like first step. Of course, you can also add one or two Christmas stocking charms on the wire loop with T-bar together. The steps are very easy, but this bracelet making is full of theme of Christmas, isn’t it?

The second idea of bracelet making for Christmas is very shining and attractive. The materials include cube faceted glass beads in red and green colors, silver round alloy beads, antique silver Tibetan style flower bead caps, alphabet pendants of Christmas (in red and green colors), some white snowflake pendants and elastic cord. There are so many different kinds of jewelry materials for this bracelet making, but I just used the simplest method—stringing for this design. String all the jewelry beads and pendants like this order—a red cube glass bead, a alphabet pendant, a green cube glass bead, a white snowflake pendant; repeat it and add a silver round alloy bead with Tibetan style flower bead cap at each side. So there are 4pcs glass beads, 1pcs alloy bead and several pendants. Repeat this step for three more times, and then make a knot with cord to stop the beads fall off. Cut off the extra cord and hide knot into a hole of bead. Please make sure you have strung these alphabet pendants on bracelet with the same order as word “Christmas”. Till now, a shining, beautiful Christmas bracelet is finished. I am sure the recipient of this bracelet will fall in love with it at first sight.
