4 Most Important Displays for Your Jewelry

As a jewelry seller, I keep having to wonder which types of jewelry display is the most important when it comes to sales booths and physical stores. Sometimes, I end up having to scour competition just to see what they’ve got. After years passed, I’ve finally made up my mind on which jewelry trays and cases are the most important for my precious jewelry collection. First, I definitely think that acrylic hands and necks are very important to a display. Even those these kinds of displays are kind of expensive, especially those made with good materials, they are essential to a display because they provide the customer with a background look at what the jewelry looks like when worn. After some time, I realized this was important because...

Finding True Love in a Bag

This is not one of those gory blog posts where I’ll teach you how to desperately find your match and put him or her inside the bag for you to take home. Even if that’s possible, it’s down right crazy we should pass up on that idea. Seeking out for our better half is an age dilemma. If it weren’t why would there be tons of sappy romantic flicks and match making sites plaguing the World Wide Web, right? I don’t have anything against it, of course. Finding love, slowly falling and basking in the arms of the one that makes your heat flip is truly an amazing feeling.  You and I deserve to feel that in our life time. But what if you get that very same feeling with a bag? Ever thought that could be possible? This idea may not be as disturbing as having the love of your life inside a bag...

How to Make a DIY Jewelry Display

Did you know that it isn’t that hard to create a creative jewelry display? I thought it would take me several brain aneurysms first before I could create one that can truly sell my pieces. If not a brain aneurysm, I’d have to drown in debt first just to pay all those expensive display trays.  Good thing, I discovered that I can actually make a do-it-yourself display without having to sell my kidney.  First, I had to think of a creative theme for my jewelry. Since I like nature and I have a thing for the color combination of blue, green and brown, I wanted to build an effective jewelry display that will focus on just that, plus the elements of nature.  Now that I had a theme for my display, I needed to set up my materials...

From faking it to making it

Being a woman is never easy.

Can You Save My Day?

I have a gigantic problem. No, it’s not the heat wave – and it’s definitely not my Nana’s cat.

Why Jewelry Makers Should Consider Selling Their Own Jewelry

As a jewelry maker, I know I am definitely (cue boasting smile here) talented and creative. However, when I first got the offer of selling my own jewelry, I was not at all ecstatic. Yes, I sell my pieces to some actual sellers, but to build my own business? It sounded like a bad joke, especially for me – who only relied on my talent and friendship with sellers to make money. Despite my love for jewelry and talent to create beautiful pieces, I didn’t know anything about businesses. In fact, I was so scared to fund my own capital, most of all, because I had no idea how to start. You see, in starting a business, it’s not just the capital that I had to consider. I also had to think of where to sell my jewelry, how to sell and which market...
