How To Package Jewelry for Shipping

This will ensure your customers get your jewelry merchandise in the best possible condition.

When you operate an online business, it’s important to know the fundamentals of packaging and shipping your items to your customers. You would want to make sure your merchandise sustains no damage and reaches your customers safely.

While we do believe that having excellent salesmanship and possessing a keen eye for jewelry display techniques are important to keep a jewelry business booming, but so does taking the time to ensure product packaging and shipping runs as smooth as possible.

Select the right jewelry packaging

You have plenty to choose from in terms of jewelry packaging options, but first, you’ll have to take into consideration the type of jewelry to be packaged. The packaging should be appropriate to the item’s size, type, and shape.

Look out also for packaging that has parts that hold the items in place (loops, slits, fasteners, snaps) so they can stay intact.

The item’s packaging weight should also be taken into consideration. Shipping costs get more expensive as the weight goes up so try to remember that as well. Lastly, take note of your shop’s branding and use your jewelry merchandise's packaging to reflect that. Use your shop's colors and brand name to help build brand recall. Don’t forget also to include contact details such as slipping a tag or business card so customers, old and new, can reach you and encourage repeat purchases.

If in doubt, bubble wrap it

Add another layer of protection ー like the aforementioned bubble wrap ー for items that are particularly delicate like beaded jewelry. Tote bags need to be lined with tissue paper (go for the fancy ones meant for gift wrapping for added flair) when you want to use them as packaging for earrings or individual stones. Zip locks are also great choices for keeping things sealed and secured. Other options you can use for added cushioning are foam peanuts and recycled paper.

Discretion is advised

For the outer package, it’ll be better to leave off any trace of it coming from a jewelry shop. This is for safety reasons as it is guaranteed to pass through several hands during the shipping process. It may also be left out on a porch on the day of delivery and you wouldn’t want it to be attractive for would-be thieves.

Go with a reputable courier service

Once you’ve sorted the packaging the next step to take is mailing the items to your customers. Your best bet is a reliable and well-known courier service to take care of the shipping. Avoid the horror stories of missing or damaged packages by choosing to go with one that’s known for delivering quality service. Rest yourself easy as they would often come with safety measures such as delivery confirmation via signature or photos as well as tracking systems so you can see where your packaging is at each step of the way.

Our Picks for the Best Jewelry Packaging Ideas

It’s important that your product packaging reflect a good image for your brand.

Part of the jewelry business is to make sure you’re not just offering top-notch jewelry pieces but also providing these pieces with equally gorgeous packaging. It adds to the overall charm of the item, plus as treasured items how they are presented must be just as special.

Having attractive jewelry display setups is a must for every jewelry business's success, and so does having great packaging for the products, so here are a few of our ideas.

Gift Boxes

Boxes are a sure thing when thinking of jewelry packaging for your merchandise. This one in the photo is specifically made for bracelets but there are also boxes, in different sizes and colors, that are made especially for earrings, rings, and even combination sets that contain different kinds of jewelry. Make it extra special for special occasions by adding in ribbons, paper twine, cords, and other gift wrapping accessories.

5 Jewelry Making Tips for the Newbies

What you need to know when you want to get into this fun and possibly profitable hobby.

Lots of folks took up new hobbies to pass the time while in quarantine, and why not when having something to keep us busy helps us stay relaxed amidst the global health crisis? If you haven’t started a new hobby yet, may we suggest jewelry making? 

Check out our tips below and discover the things you need to know before you embark on this creative journey.

1. Before anything else, pick out the type of jewelry you would want to work on first

There are many types of jewelry to choose from and picking one can be pretty overwhelming. However, focusing on just one type can help ease yourself into this pastime. You can start by choosing which particular type of jewelry you would like to work on and then pick out the material you would like to use for it (beads, crystals, chains, leather, etc.).

2. Look up references to start you on the journey

Thanks to today’s technology, knowledge is always within reach. You can look up tutorials online to start with the basics or do it old school by leafing through crafting magazines and books. Crucial skills like making wire loops can be learned through these materials.

3. Have a look at your existing supplies then start building upon the missing ones

You don’t have to go out and buy stuff for your new hobby right away. Look through your toolbox and see if you have the essentials, namely wire cutters and pliers. You can always build upon your jewelry-making toolbox along the way. Next, once you’ve figured out what type of jewelry you plan on making that’s when you can shop for the parts. Depending on your choice of jewelry piece to work on, you can start buying findings and stringing materials. While you are at it, why not start buying display devices like earring display cards and jewelry stands for when you finish your work?

4. Create a designated workspace for jewelry making

The best workspaces are those with good lighting and have plenty of space for the actual task and the materials needed for a project. Your tools and jewelry parts should be within reach while you work so there should be allotted space for your containers and materials. Plus, don’t forget to have a comfy chair to keep body aches at bay while you work.

5. Let your imagination run wild

There are no limits as to what you can do with your crafting projects, but it’s best to sketch them on paper or on the computer first to help you with visualization. However, if you are stumped for ideas, magazines and social media apps like Pinterest and Instagram can serve as your inspiration.

How To Level Up Your Jewelry Business’ Website

Make sure you’re putting your best foot forward online.

With many potential customers choosing to remain at home in the past months, going online has become a wise business move during the pandemic. Retailers, both old and new, expanded their reach by setting virtual environments online where buyers can still purchase items.

Capture your targets from the get-go with an enticing banner

The banner is found at the topmost part of a website’s body so naturally, it’s the first thing people see. Grab their attention right away with offers that are surely hard to turn down. For many online shoppers, those are free shipping and quick delivery. If you can’t promise both, why not create a promo where reaching a certain amount in purchase entitles them to one of these perks?

You can also capture attention the right way with the right visuals, so make sure you’re doing what you can to present your merchandise as well as their jewelry display devices in the right light.

Lastly, make sure to regularly update this part of your website. Doing so creates an impression that you always have fresh stocks, offers ー basically things your customers can all look forward to.

Use HD-quality product photos

Let’s go back to the part about photos. When operating an online business, make sure the images you are uploading are fit to be seen by the public. That means to leave off grainy shots and sloppy product displays. Make sure you’re only posting crisp images that sell. If you are using props or jewelry stands, you have to make sure they are in tip-top shape so you can create beautiful and well-composed setups.

Stick to words that sell

With the right words in your product description, you can be sure to convert mere browsers to buyers. Make sure it is descriptive of the item so the customers will know what to expect.  Add a touch of grace and wit to your words so you can be engaging as well as enticing to those that come across your copy. Most important of all, don’t forget the price and details about ordering.

Make your images shareable

Don’t forget to add share buttons to your product photos as this would make your merchandise more discoverable online. A quick click on any of the buttons you embed will make your products get shared to a large audience in many of the most visited social media apps today.

Open yourself up to the public’s feedback

Provide a way for the public to inquire about your products or shipping and payment details through various means. Sharing links to your social media accounts is one thing, but you can also have space on your website where people can leave their comments and inquiries. If you have a hotline or contact numbers then you must include those too. The more ways you can show the public you are reachable, the better.

5 Jewelry Display Tips to Capture the Public

Dazzle buyers with these ideas.

There’s no question about it ー jewelry are beautiful pieces of art. They add life and sparkle to any outfit and are considered treasured possessions by their owners. They are lovely on their own but you can elevate them even further with the right jewelry display setup. Master this skill and you’ll find yourself with a captive buying public, so let us teach you some cool tips and tricks in this article.

Choose colors that match

This seems like a no-brainer but some folks do have a habit of putting things together without looking at these details. For your jewelry merchandise to not just stand out but stand out beautifully, pick colors that will complement them. Neutral colors are safe bets as they are meant to be mixed and matched with various colors and patterns, but bold solid colors can work well. If you’re not sure which colors go well with each other then have a look at this article and use it as your guide.

Shine the spotlight on your merchandise the right way

Lighting up jewelry can further enhance their beauty but only if you are doing it correctly. You need to make sure the light that bounces off the jewelry’s surface is at the right temperature. White LED light in a cool tone is a safe bet for most jewelry finishes but most especially to those in silver as they can boost a jewelry piece’s shine. Warm yellow tones, meanwhile, are best suited for gold items.

Add height to your displays 

As a seller, you would want your merchandise to stand out and pop. Likewise, keeping them within buyers’ eyesight makes for a more enticing setup.  One of the best ways to do this is through the use of height. You can add height with the use of risers. Cone-type risers and platforms are great for rings, while necklace display tools in bust and easel forms are your best bets.

Match your jewelry merchandise according to the jewelry display device’s material

Just as there are different types of jewelry, there are also many types of jewelry display tools to choose from and each is designed to provide the right support to a particular type of jewelry piece. For example, cushioned and fabric-covered displayers are meant for delicate pieces as they can provide the right aesthetics as well as protection to this type. Chunkier pieces, on the other hand, match well with equally chunky displayers like the wooden T-bar and layered jewelry display stands.

Remember to match your display setups to your store’s interiors

Everything in your store should match up and make sense when displayed altogether. You can’t go for a floral, girly motif when your jewelry store’s aesthetics are industrial minimalist. The effect becomes jarring and may look unappealing to buyers. Just as you would choose colors and materials that complement your jewelry merchandise, your overall retail display setups should likewise complement the whole feel and vibe of your shop.
