The concept of dangling earrings demands it to be noticed. Unlike the subtle stud-type earrings, the dangling ones come decorated with stones, shapes, and even feathers and fabric. They already manage to stand out on their own, so style-wise they are best displayed on minimalist and monochromatic display and storage tools.

Storage Tips for the Home Jeweler

Find everything you need in a flash with these helpful suggestions.


Scattered colorful beads.


Making jewelry is a great way to hone a skill and earn from it at the same time. It’s an easy enough hobby that both the young and old can surely get into, making it a nice bonding activity for the family. Be that as it may, this craft also requires a ton of patience, dedication, and discipline for the maker. Because it involves tiny parts and several tools to perform, it requires a keen eye and an organized mind to keep everything together.


Let us help you find an easy way to organize your jewelry-making tools and materials.



Sort your beads and stones by type and size

The simplest way to keep track of your materials is to sort the same types together. Group together beads, shells, and gemstones separately. You can then further sort them into color and size. Use small containers to separate each which would make finding them a lot easier once you start working on your jewelry projects. You can also go for large organizers but make sure they have compartments which are essential when sorting your things. Make sure they have locks in place so your beads and stones don’t spill out.


The same advice applies to your other items such as stringing materials, findings, and jewelry display tools. Choose the right containers depending on their size and function when storing these things. Once inspiration strikes, having an organized system with your belongings would make finding what you need a lot easier.



Pick clear holders for easy discovery

Speaking of inspiration, it can absolutely strike anytime and it'll be best to act on it as soon as you can. One thing you can do to help you start on your project quickly has something to do with your choice of containers. A clear storage organizer or tray lets you find your materials easily so those types would be our recommendations.

Label your things once they are sorted and contained

Aside from picking clear containers, you can also put labels on each respective container to help you easily find or keep track of your jewelry-making materials. You can do it yourself using a printer, markers, and sticker papers, or you can get yourself a label maker for this project.



Make sure everything you need is within your reach

Once you’ve organized your stuff, it makes sense to have a designated work area at home dedicated to jewelry making. This would be your workspace where you make your jewelry creations and where all your jewelry-making tools are found. Arrange things neatly and within your reach to make the creation process a worry-free experience for you.


We recommend a large enough desk for you to work on and which you will designate as your crafting space. It should be large enough for you to easily reach for your tools, supplies, and displayers (earring stands, necklace display boards, trinket dishes, etc.)

Keep an inventory of your materials

This will help you keep track of your supplies that need replenishing or if anything goes missing or misplaced. You can do this manually or electronically for easier recording. Then, once you’ve found out that you need new tools for your craft, you can check out Nile Corp to see our offerings for jewelry makers.

Display Ideas for Men's Jewelry

Guys shop for their own jewelry too. Here are ways to capture their attention.

While women are primarily the audience for jewelry marketers, in recent years men have become a viable market for these luxury items. They’re no longer just buying engagement rings for their partners, but they’re also buying precious jewelry for themselves.


That’s why we came up with this article to help jewelers come up with the right jewelry display setup to attract male shoppers.



Go for masculine design elements

You may begin with color selection. Go for dark shades like gray, navy blue, or black as base colors when deciding on retail display setups for your jewelry shop. With most men’s jewelry lean towards simple cuts and minimalist designs, you wouldn’t have to worry about your merchandise clashing with your chosen colors.


You can also add patterns to your display to give it a masculine vibe. Your best bets are patterns with straight lines such as stripes or tartan plaid.

Incorporate the right props to your design concepts

While items such as flowers suit retail spaces geared towards women, your choices for attracting male customers will definitely differ. Go for decors such as stoneware or pottery as accessories to dress up your jewelry merchandise.



When it comes to textures, (faux) leather is your best friend

Leatherware or even faux leather is a wise buy when it comes to shopping for the right jewelry display tools. It certainly ticks off the boxes for color and vibe if you’re trying to appeal to masculine tastes. Just take a look at this double T-bar display that’s made out of steel gray-colored faux leather:

Perfect for thick chainlink bracelets as well as watches, this particular T-bar display stand wouldn’t look out of place in a minimalist display.


Use a style aesthetic for inspiration

If you’re still stumped for ideas, why not look to a particular design aesthetic to inspire your display? 


  • Rustic

Look for those that will incorporate rugged props like those made out of wood and create something that's inspired by nature and the outdoors.


  • Preppy

As previously mentioned, patterns also work well with retail setups that cater to men. Using plaid as a base fabric, you can create a preppy, collegiate-inspired jewelry display featuring watches, cuff links, and rings.

  • Western

Think cowboys, Texas, and country music; throw in a pair of boots and leather accessories, and then you’ll have a retail setup that is sure to appeal to guys who are fans of this aesthetic.

What you need to do is to first pick a necklace to serve as a focal point for your setup. This works best with necklaces that have big pendants. Next, pick several other necklaces to complete the look. Make sure these add-ons are longer than your centerpiece. Go for varying lengths to see the layered look fully on the necklace bust.

Engagement Ring Selling Techniques for Jewelers to Try

 Let us help you make that special sale for your jewelry shop.

Wedding proposals are some of life’s most unexpected but much-loved rituals. Jewelers, naturally, have a huge role in making sure they turn out successful. Helping people pick the right ring matters, so here are a few tips from us to help you make a sale, and for your customers to make their dream proposals come true.



Show your shop’s ring collection in the best light

Making a successful sale doesn’t begin when the customer approaches you to inquire about a particular item. No, it starts way before that and it happens the moment the customer enters your shop’s door. Make sure your jewelry display calls out to potential buyers and entices them to make a purchase. You can achieve this by having a neat and easy-to-navigate store layout, along with retail display setups that are elegant and pleasing to the eyes. This can be achieved with the right placements and lighting.



Let them talk and be ready to listen

This is no ordinary piece of jewelry. There’s a lot of thought and meaning put into its purchase so open your ears to listen attentively and be interested in what the customer has to say about it. They may go into storytelling mode when you start asking questions, and so just let them be. The things they tell you about their relationship and the person they’re buying the ring for will help you make the right ring recommendation.

Make adjustments when necessary

Different customers mean different personalities. Some may have planned everything down to the nitty-gritty details while others may still be confused over what ring to pick. Be flexible enough to accommodate these two different kinds of customers and those who may fall somewhere in between. Step back or offer suggestions depending on the situation.



Avoid asking about budget outright

You can safely navigate the money talk by asking specifics about the ring. Inquire about the 4Cs (carat, cut, color, and clarity) and from there you can give your best recommendations based on the responses.



Make them feel pampered

Engagement ring buying may be a fun and exciting ritual but it can also be incredibly stressful on the part of the customer, so make sure you’re doing what you can to put them at ease. Take them to a special area in your store where you can ask them the questions away from other customers. This will give them the assurance that you’re giving them extra attention for this special occasion. Have assistants ready to bring in not just the jewelry selection, but also refreshments and small bites during the consultation. Be there for them until they’ve made their purchase and provide escorts as they exit the store.

How to Clean Earrings

Tips to maintain the beauty of your precious earrings.

Fans of earrings know the power they hold when it comes to making a style statement. From the large ones to dainty pieces, they are fashion staples that command attention. They are an essential part of everyday wear which means they get a lot of use. This means it’s very easy for them to accumulate dirt and smudges in the long run.

You deserve to have your precious earrings collection in the best shape so we’ve put together this helpful guide for you. Follow these steps so that you can proudly show them off while you are out and about, or for when you keep them in your earring display platforms at home.


Use a microfiber cloth for quick clean-ups

Found small smudges or fingerprints on your earrings? Sometimes all it takes are a few quick swipes of microfiber cloth to your precious earrings. This is similar to those used for cleaning eyeglasses. We recommend this type of cloth as it won’t leave a scratch or loose fiber to your jewelry’s surface.


Disinfect with hydrogen peroxide

Dirt can easily accumulate in the nooks and crannies of earrings when left for some time. For a deeper clean, it’s time to bring out hydrogen peroxide and a few cotton pads for disinfection. If you’re targeting a specific spot, simply soak your pad with hydrogen peroxide and give your pieces a few dabs and rubs to remove stubborn gunk. For an all-over cleaning process, you can soak your earrings in a small cup filled with hydrogen peroxide for a few minutes then transfer them to a new cup with hot water for rinsing.

Keep things simple with mild dish soap and water

For earrings with gemstones, it’s best to keep things simple and straightforward. The process depends on the type of gemstone being cleaned. For example, you can’s soak turquoise in soapy water as turquoise absorbs water which can soften it over time. Instead, what you can do is to use a microfiber cloth moistened with soapy water and use it to clean your turquoise pieces. The same procedure applies to pearls, but amethyst can be soaked in soapy water.

Have a look at this article to see more tips on cleaning precious stones and minerals.


Use household items for simple cleaning jobs

For quick touch-ups, use a clean toothbrush to remove dirt from your earrings. You can also use cotton buds and toothpicks which can get into hard-to-reach areas.

A 5-Point Checklist for Online Jewelry Business Owners

Now is the perfect time to make your mark on the internet.


A happy woman sitting in front of her desk and laptop.

The COVID-19 pandemic has upended daily commerce, changing the way people buy and sell things. For months, people relied solely on online shopping platforms to get their needs. This has opened opportunities for entrepreneurs, small and large alike, to sell their merchandise on the internet.

Jewelers were no different. Many brick and mortar jewelry shops also opened their own online stores to go where the buyers were. At present, while stay-at-home restrictions vary across states, many sellers are staying put online.

As online sellers ourselves, we know the challenges they face on the internet. That’s why we’ve put together this checklist to help jewelry entrepreneurs find success in this vast market landscape.


1. Make sure customers can find you online

Securing a store location and putting up signage is how brick and mortars announce their presence in the market, but how about businesses online?

On the internet, businesses find space by getting indexed by a search engine. Because people use platforms such as Google to look up any information, it is a must to have your business included in its listings. But that’s not all ー mere inclusion on the world’s go-to search engine is not enough. You need to make sure your website can be found on the engine’s first page results to capture your target audience. Investing in search engine optimization (SEO) will solve that issue.


2. Review your site’s navigation

Making sure you are on search engines so that potential buyers can find you online is one thing; checking to see if your own products are easy to find inside your website is another. It helps to periodically review your interface, as well as the process that goes into buying your items to see if they are easy or hard to get around with.

3. Have an active presence on social media

For many businesses, especially those that started during the pandemic, social media is where they first found their footing. If that’s the case for your jewelry business, now’s not the time to slack off. People are online a lot these days so you shouldn’t miss out on building your presence on social media.


4. Create images that aim to entice and inspire

Speaking of establishing your social media presence, jewelry businesses should target those that are photo-heavy like Instagram and Pinterest, but sites like Facebook are good too. Make sure to take beautiful pictures of your merchandise so people can see what you’re selling. Don’t be afraid to be as creative as much as you want with these photos! A great concept partnered with the right jewelry display tools and props helps deliver the sales you need. Check out our latest offerings of easels and stands which you can incorporate to your photoshoots when promoting your products on social media and on your website.

There’s another perk to producing fantastic images for your brand. Great photos get republished, making it an effective form of word-of-mouth marketing. Likewise, on Pinterest where images are shared by users, this also adds SEO juice to your website helping you rank better on search engines.


5. Take a good look at your reviews

People say a lot online, and they have a lot to say if a product is good or not. Taking the time to read reviews left by your customers is a great way to check whether you’re delivering what you promised or not. Think of it as a form of customer service for your public and use it to thank them for their support or resolve issues they may have with your jewelry merchandise.


We want each and every one of our customers to succeed in business. That’s why we remain committed to our promise to only deliver top-notch jewelry display tools to the market. Have a look to see what we have to offer today.
