How to Clean Velvet Jewelry Displays

Keep your displays looking fresh and new with these cleaning tips and tricks.

Velvet is one of the favorite types of displays of sellers because of its sophistication, glamour, and its ability to make a necklace stand out. Sometimes, you cannot avoid your velvet-covered jewelry displays from getting dirty or stained. A necklace display with stains cannot accentuate the beauty of your pieces. So once you've noticed some dirt on your displays don't wait weeks or months before cleaning it.

That is why for today, we are sharing a few tips on how to clean your velvet jewelry displays.

Use sticky tape.

For minor dirt like dust and small particles, sticky tape is the cheapest way to go. You only have to cut about two inches of the tape and wrap it around a pencil or your finger with the sticky side out. Gently dab the tape unto the velvet surface. Replace with a new one as necessary.

Use a lint roller.

If it’s mostly fuzz and fur, a lint roller or a lint remover is the way to go. However, this is not too effective for dust, so you will still need sticky tape for it. Gently roll the lint roller all over the surface in one direction. Remove the sheet and replace it with a new one once it's no longer sticky.

Clean with a mild liquid soap solution.

For stubborn stains, try using a mild detergent solution. In a small container, mix warm water with a few drops of mild liquid dish washing soap. Using an old toothbrush, mix the solution. Then gently rub the velvet surface to remove the stains. Afterward, dab a clean lint-free cloth to dry it. Then allow to completely air dry.

Refurbish it.

With some glue and thick wrapping paper, you can refurbish a velvet display if worse comes to worst. If you've tried all the ways to clean it, don't throw it and instead make it look even better. You can also use other materials to cover it like hemp linen, patterned cloth or tissue paper for decoupage. You can also add some embellishments at the edges like old beads or lace.

5 Helpful Tips to Selling Jewelry in Craft Shows

Increase your sales with these selling tips and tricks.

Competition is tough in craft and trade shows, basically because you may be offering the same products with two or more shops. That said, you have to do everything in your power to up your game. Promos may attract customers, but that might just not be enough. Today, we will discuss the five simple ways on how you can cut through the noise in a jewelry craft show.

Captivate customers with beautiful displays.

The most basic of them all, of course, is to have eye-catching displays. You may opt to go DIY and customize them all, but if you don’t have enough time, purchase ready-made ones. It is recommended to use a rotating necklace display or one that can hold multiple necklaces. The same goes for all other items. Doing so will allow you to save more space, and it will be easier for your customers to check out all the pieces.

Know all your items for sale.

You should always be able to answer all your customers’ queries. You should know what metal a particular piece is made of, as well as the gemstones if there are any. You should be able to tell them which item is hypoallergenic, as well as the proper care and maintenance of your jewelry. Customers will immediately be turned off if you can’t answer any of their questions.

Be knowledgeable about the colors.

You must also know which colors best match a certain skin tone. As we all know, cool skin tones have veins that appear blue, while warm skin tones have veins that appear green. The "cools" look gorgeous with silver-tone and gems in the blue end of the color wheel. The "warms," on the other hand, look perfect with yellow gold-tone and crystals in the red end of the wheel. With this info, you will be able to suggest the right pieces for your customers. You can also give them a few styling tips as well, based on this skin tone rule.

Be honest with your jewelry products.

If you think a particular piece doesn’t look too appealing to a customer, let them know nicely. Then immediately suggest one that accentuates their features and let them see in the mirror. Don’t just sell for money; make sure your customers will be happy with their purchases. Doing so will also make them feel appreciated. You should also be honest about your products -- if it’s gold-plated, let them know, and do not let it pass as real gold. If the crystal’s lab made, indicate in the tag, otherwise, let them know immediately by putting up a sign, so they won’t assume that it’s a natural crystal.

Offer other pieces.

Lastly, try to offer them other pieces that match the jewelry they chose. You must remember not to hard-sell though, and allow them to decide for themselves, as they might get turned off and change their mind. Allow them to try other pieces and let them see for themselves how the jewelry they chose matches another one. If they decide not to buy another item, that’s okay, and avoid pushing them to. Instead, thank them for their purchase and let them know you’d appreciate if they can buy again next time.

Use a glass-covered box if you want them clean.

If you are not a fan of the previous displays, you can go for a glass-covered box. You can still view your jewelry without having to expose them to dust and dirt. Plus, you can keep them organized because these boxes come with compartments, dividers, and drawers. The downside of this though, is that it is not as aesthetically pleasing as the previous three.

Give your display proper lighting.

Whatever display you choose to use for your collection, make sure that it has proper lighting. Just like in the jewelry shops, spotlights are important. You don’t have to break the bank to get actual store spotlights, table lamps with adjustable necks will do. And if you’re feeling extra, you can light up scented candles as well to serve as supplemental lighting.

Best Ways to Use Hand Displays

Add some unique quality to your jewelry display with these hand-shaped displays.

Aside from the traditional necklace display busts and t-bar displays, hand displays are also classic pieces to showcase jewelry. They come in many elegant designs that can easily catch any passers-by attention. If you haven't tried using this particular display in your shop, it's time you try. And with that said, we came up with the four best ways on how to use hand displays in your shop.

Choose one that has many display options.

If you really want your shop to be different from the others, choose hand displays that can either be placed on the tabletop or mounted on the wall. Displaying them in different ways allow for a unique style, which will make customers remember your shop.

Use different colors.

Another way to cut through the noise is to use one style of hand display but of different colors. Adding a variety gives your display a fun, and welcoming vibe, versus using just one color. This tip is also perfect for minimalist pieces; to allow them to stand out even more.

Make the most out of it.

Some people think that hand displays are only for rings. But they can also hold bracelets and even necklaces. Use this feature to save more space and allow it to hold as many as it can.

Choose one with the right height.

If you plan to showcase necklaces, use a hand display with a taller height. Otherwise, it won’t look too pleasing to the eye. As long as the necklace hangs freely, it should be fine. You can also use multiple ones of varying heights to create a layered look. Doing so also adds texture to your display.
