Tips for Traveling with Jewelry

Here’s how you can keep your precious jewelry collection safe while traveling.

While it may still take some time for the travel industry to return to normal, the truth is people are still moving somewhere during the pandemic. Though in a limited capacity, folks are finding ways to move back home or transferring somewhere where it’s safer and has better opportunities.

This article is for them and even if you’re reading this and you’re staying put where you are, you can still find some helpful advice here for when you travel with jewelry in the future. So don’t forget to bookmark this, ok?

These are the rules to remember when traveling with jewelry:

Create a list of your jewelry

Remember to record each and every jewelry item you will be bringing with you. This will help you keep track of your items so nothing goes missing. You can also take photographs of your jewelry pieces as it’s easy to forget a few pairs here and there.

Always pack your jewelry in your carry-on bag

If you’re traveling by air, never place your precious jewelry collection with your checked luggage. Remember to always keep it with you for safety reasons. If you’re driving to your destination, it’s better to also have them with you instead of leaving them at the mercy of others. For added protection, make sure to place them in storage organizers to avoid damage and scratches. Find the ones with tray compartments and those foldable ones which can carry several jewelry items at once.

You can also bring jewelry display devices with you, preferably those that have adjustable boards for easy transport.

Get insurance for your jewelry

It’s always wise to prepare for a rainy day. Likewise, you will never regret getting insurance for your jewelry especially if you will go on a long-haul trip. A lot can happen during your travels so make sure to get good insurance coverage for your jewelry. It will surely save you from worries if and when something goes wrong.

Don’t overdo the accessories while sightseeing

If you plan to go out for sightseeing, make sure to wear just a little bit from your collection and then leave the rest inside a locked safe. If you plan on doing action activities such as swimming or hiking, we don’t recommend wearing jewelry for safety reasons.

Things to Bring for Your First Jewelry Artisan Market

Make this one a great experience for you and your business.

While a lot of artisan markets were shut down and festivals had to reschedule their events this year, it never hurts to be prepared ahead of time. Take this break as a chance to plan out your strategy and make yourself ready once the jewelry industry allows public events again.

For now, you may start building up on your jewelry portfolio and readying your jewelry display tools so you’ll have everything you need once operations resume. But before you do, here’s a list of what you need to prepare when joining jewelry artisan markets.

Before everything else

Depending on the theme or market, the event organizers may conduct a screening process to evaluate your products. You may also be interviewed about the creative process that went into your chosen merchandise. Other requirements may include business permits, business insurance, as well as your tax ID number. Again this will vary depending on the program and event’s location.

If you pass this stage you need to be ready with the following items:

Display essentials

*Tables and chairs are optional. Some organizers will provide them during the event, others won’t. Likewise, canopies may be provided depending on location or theme. It’s best to check first with organizers regarding these items.

Floor-length table cloth - This item serves two purposes for you: as a place to set your merchandise and as cover to hide any items you store under your table.

Signage - For branding and identification purposes, have marketing collaterals (which should include calling cards, brochures, and flyers) with you

Lights - While there will be for sure house lights provided especially if the event’s conducted indoors, you need to bring extra display lights so you can highlight your pieces. Don’t forget to bring extra bulbs and extension cords for emergencies.

Mirrors - These are useful things to have in your booth as buyers can check and try out your jewelry merchandise.

Booth props and backdrop - Make sure your store is pleasant to look at so that people will come to admire and buy your items. Don’t forget to bring in art materials such as scissors, tape, glue, markers, and paint to make your design vision for your booth possible.

Jewelry display tools (racks, risers, pads, dishes, etc.) - Besides your merchandise, these are the most important items to bring with you at an event like this. Using the appropriate display props will showcase your jewelry in the best way possible and make them attractive to potential buyers.

We have a ton of jewelry display and storage containers ready for you to explore on our site, so why don’t you give Nile Corp a visit today?

Financial essentials

Cash box/register - This will again depend on the organizers, so check first their provisions for each booth occupant.

Credit card processor/QR code scanner - Some people will definitely prefer to go cashless so have these tools with you, if possible.

Receipt books - Some people may prefer to have it done the old fashioned way. This also helps in keeping track of sold merchandise.

Inventory list - Helps you keep track of sales, merchandise, and props.

Health and hygiene items

Alcohol or hand sanitizers - Health is wealth, especially nowadays so have these items ready for your staff and customers.

Food - Again, this one’s availability will depend on the organizer but just to be safe, you can bring in snacks and drinks to keep you from getting hungry during the event. Be careful though that you don’t create a mess in your booth’s display.

Personal items such as tissue, medicine, etc. - Events such as this can last the whole day and you will need things that will bring you comfort and relief.

...and the most important items to bring

Your jewelry merchandise, of course. This is your chance to show off your craft to potential buyers so make sure you have enough to present. It helps to think of a cohesive theme ahead so that your display will make sense to the public. It’s best to plan out your display scheme for this event so you’d know on the day which one goes where. Before we forget, remember to bring in labels, tags, and signs to indicate your items’ prices.

Good luck!

A Guide to Engagement Rings and the Best Ring Boxes for Them

A helpful guide to make sure you’re doing the right thing.

So you’ve finally decided to propose to the love of your life...are you fully prepared to face the next challenging step? We’re not talking about marriage because you need to buy an engagement ring first! As always, you can count on us here at Nile Corp to give you helpful advice on jewelry display techniques as well as jewelry shopping. We know that choosing an engagement ring can be pretty stressful so we put together this helpful guide to make the process a lot easier for you. We also believe that first impressions last and we want to make sure your proposal starts off on the right foot with our recommendations for ring boxes.

1. Decide on the shape and band beforehand

You can easily narrow down your selection when you have these two elements down pat. Try to find out the shape and band that your significant other may favor by observing the usual jewelry that he/she wears. You can also browse online and learn about the different diamond shapes (also called “cuts”) to see your options. Take note that diamonds are priced depending on their shape and carat so you need to take those into consideration too.

For the love of your life, our Flocked Velvet Dome Shaped Ring Box* in Red is simply the perfect choice. Set in the color of passion, this makes for an elegant and appropriate pick for this monumental event in your life as a couple.

2. Try to explore alternatives to diamond

You don’t have to necessarily follow the tradition of going with a diamond ring. Factors such as budgets and personal taste make other gemstones as possible alternatives to diamonds, so feel free to explore these options as well.

3. Make sure to get your partner’s ring measurements

While getting your partner’s measurements can be a bit tricky, it is definitely an essential part of the ring shopping process. With a bad fit, the ring is at risk of slipping off if it’s too loose or getting stuck around the finger. Remember that this is no other ordinary ring you are purchasing so make an effort to find the correct size.

Just as you should be clear with your partner’s measurements when shopping for rings, a Velvet Ring Box* is also a clear, no-fail option amongst ring boxes for its classic elegance. Fitted with white satin cushioning inside, this is a classy companion for any beautiful ring of your choice.

4. Think about how the ring will look when worn with the wedding band

Normally, the engagement ring will be topped by the wedding band so take the time to consider how they would like side by side each other. It makes sense to have the same type of wedding band so that the pair will complement each other.

5. It’s best to take your ring shopping offline

While the internet is a great starting point to browse possible styles, we recommend to take it offline during the actual selection and buying of the ring. Doing so will help you avoid fakes, plus having an actual jewelry consultant to help you make the purchase will make the process a lot easier.

Sturdy, practical, and dependable, wood can be a metaphor for the strength of a couple’s relationship. A Solid Wood Ring Box* is a wise pick for its high-quality craftsmanship. Topped with a rosewood finish and lined with leatherette, you simply can’t go wrong with this choice.

Choosing the right ring for a loved one can be a serious business, but so is choosing the right jewelry storage tool. Make sure you’re getting only the right display and storage compartments by visiting and exploring the Nile Corp website.
