Spring Displays & Packaging

Spring is on the way! We donÔÇÖt know about you, but weÔÇÖre counting down the days until the weather warms up and we can see the ground again. In preparation for springtime days, we are are thinking about spring displays and spring colors.

Pantone’s Fashion Color Report Spring 2014 is a great place to begin. This will help you to see what colors are going to be trending this season, and you can choose what will match your jewelry and style the best. It will also help you highlight your pieces that might be similar to these colors or provide you with design inspiration.

When choosing a color scheme for your displays, don’t go overboard and use ALL the colors. You want your jewelry to be the focus and your displays and props should serve only to bring attention to your jewelry. And when you’re choosing your spring packaging line, remember that packaging is branding. You want to create a look that customers will associate with your store even after they’ve gone home.

Parade blue (very similar to the Dazzling Blue Pantone is featuring this spring) tissue paper paired with turquoise makes a memorable packaging look.

We know how many of our customers travel to shows, and one of favorite products for spring is this brand new carrying case! This black aluminum case has a front opening door with a pocket on the inside of the door, a hidden retractable handle, combination locks, and an adjustable divider. Holds up to (12) 1″ trays.

With Valentine’s Day this week, we can’t stop dreaming in pink and red and purple–and we haven’t even shared our favorites with you yet! ┬áAlthough Valentine’s Day makes us think of pink, purple, and red jewelry packaging more than the rest of the year, we’re hardly limited to using these colors for just this month! We think these picks are perfect all year around.

All About Jewelry Tray Liners

jewelry tray liners

Need some jewelry tray liners for those trays? We thought so.

It can be challenging to know which liners you need for your trays (especially when there are so many options). To make it simple, weÔÇÖre broken it down into four main categories of tray liners: Compartments, Gemstones, Liners and Pads, and Rings.

Compartment Liners– These liners come with anywhere from six to fifty vertical or horizontal compartments and can be used for a wide variety of products such as bracelets, necklace, beads, stones, and much more. The compartment liners are useful for both display and organization.

Pro tip: Some of the compartment liners work especially well for specific display products; for example, the ten compartment tray liner (96-T1) fits the Glass Top Gemstone box (GB-0001) perfectly! Also, the 28 compartment liners are perfect for earring displays (item number BX565 fits right in there!).

Gemstone liners— the acrylic gem jar liners are ideal for gems, beads, charms, lockets, and much more! The gemstone liners are all the same dimensions, but have different sizes of jars depending on how many jars are in the liner. These liners range from 24-50 jars per liner for the full sized liners and 12 or 25 jars for the half-sized liners. The acrylic jars all have a foam insert, a pop on/off lid, and are set in a foam pad that comes in either white or black. Once placed in a jewelry tray, this makes for a fantastic display!

Gemstone Liners also work for beads, charms, lockets, and more!

Liners & Pads— excellent for an elegant and classic display. Velvet display liners are ideal for displaying, and a simple way to go from traveling to displaying without a extra hassle. Simply place your jewelry on the display pad or velvet liner in an attractive manner for an eye-catching display.

Rings– Ring liners are available in two types. Foam pads with ring inserts, or as tufted tray liners. These come in full size or half size liners, and have a few different color options.

Ring liners
Pro tip: You can also use the ring liners to place on top of your jewelry in a tray to keep it from moving around during travel in a carrying cases.

Remember: liners go inside trays to make a complete display. Full size liners will fit in full size trays, and half-sized liners will fit into half-sized trays.

Fall is rapidly approaching, and we can’t get enough of the Pantone Fall 2013 color trends! There’s so much one can do with these colors, whether it’s with packaging and displays, or incorporated in jewelry designs. From deep blues and purples to bright pinks to cool greys, these colors are just fantastic.

For packaging, we suggest using the dark blue or purple tinted kraft bags for packaging purposes. Paired with white or tan tissue paper, this would make a great fall packaging look for almost any style.

Loving the greys in this fall’s trend report? We don’t blame you. In fact, they’re one of our favorites, too. These greys work incredibly well as a display, since the cool color makes brighter colors pop while making subdued colors appear elegant (think black onyx or creamy white pearls).

3 Simple Ways to Create Displays

Creating displays is a vital part of your business. You have quite a challenge set before you when making displays for your store; you want to create something that will complement your products and grab the attention of customers, but not be overwhelming (or boring). There is a fine balance between creating the type of display that will bring attention to your products and creating a display that will distract your customer from your products with too many colors or props.

Follow these three simple tips for creating beautiful displays every time!

1. Know your customers. By knowing their likes and dislikes, you’ll be able to tailor your displays to things they will find attractive, and therefore be more likely to want. It also helps you with branding when you know what your customers are wanting.

2. Make your display fun! Create an eye-catching display with the use of colors that complement one another, fun props that are part of your display’s theme, and add texture and color with floral arrangements or┬átissue paper poms.

3. Don’t do too much. Your product should always be the focal point of your displays and everything you do with your display should be to complement your product, not distract your customer. Too many props or colors will draw the attention away from the product you want to sell, so keep your displays simple and effective.
