How to Prevent an Ear Piercing Infection

The necessary steps to take to keep your new piercing clean and problem-free.


Close up of an ear pierced with a dangling earring.

We’ve recently talked about ear piercings and perhaps our article might have encouraged you to get one (or a few) of your own. Though they are a common practice, having a piercing anywhere on your body requires discipline and aftercare. By doing so any piercee can heal better and avoid infection.

Before going ahead with your procedure or filling up your earring display sets with new jewelry to use for your piercings, better read this article first.


Before the procedure


Make sure it is actually what you want to do. - Don’t do it because it’s the popular thing to do. Do your research before making your mind up whether to get a piercing or not. Learn what the procedure entails, the pain level you may experience, and the healing experience afterward. Do your due diligence by doing your research beforehand...which you are already doing right now so you are on the right track!

Look for a reputable piercing shop. - Piercing shops (usually operating side by side with tattoo parlors) may look intimidating but they are actually the best places to have your piercing done. Staff in those shops are properly trained and have health protocols that they follow in order to get their licenses to operate. If you don’t know where to start, better ask people you trust for their recommendations before going for the procedure.

After the procedure


Remember to clean the piercing site every day. - Do it twice a day using soap and water, or if that’s not possible, you may also use a cotton pad dipped in alcohol. In order for you to remember this, you can do your piercing cleaning while doing your regular hygiene habits (while washing your face, brushing the teeth, etc.).

Keep your hands off the pierced area. - Your hands could harbor germs so avoid touching your piercing site except during cleaning. Don’t forget to disinfect your hands before and after the procedure.

Apply petroleum jelly. - This prevents scabbing and bacteria from invading the pierced area.

Be careful not to get creams near the pierced area. - This includes hair products like shampoo, gel, conditioner, hairspray, or items used for the body like lotion as they may cause irritation.

Observe and look out for unusual signs. - If the redness or swelling persists for a few days, or you’ve seen discharge, don’t hesitate to get in touch with a doctor right away.


Yes, we here at Nile Corp aren’t just ready to provide you with the right jewelry display and storage tools, we are also here to give helpful advice on how you should take care of your piercings as well as your jewelry collection!

Visual Merchandising Tips for Jewelry Stores

Find out how you can capture your customers in this article.

Are there techniques for getting shoppers’ attention? Beyond placing ads online and offline, as well as holding sales and demos, one of the biggest factors that determine shopping behavior is visual merchandising. Visual merchandising is simply the practice in retail which involves designing a store’s space to maximize sales. You can say that there is an art to it as several techniques are applied to showcase merchandise in the most attractive way possible.

Now not all visual merchandising techniques are applicable to all industries. Of course, here at the Nile Corp blog, we will be focusing on jewelry display strategies. Read on to find out more about this subject.



Always be mindful of balance

Be careful not to pile on too many jewelry displays tools and actual jewelry pieces in display sets. Make sure there is just enough number of items displayed per group set up to avoid cluttering. Likewise, a display that’s too bare wouldn’t also be effective, so take the time also to plan out arrangements as simply putting them side by side or on top of one another just won’t do.



Thematic displays

It helps to have a reference when designing your store’s visual merchandising plan, so why not have monthly themes to serve as your guide? You can elect to follow a particular theme or aesthetic to run for a month or two and use it as a basis for decorating your store.

Have several centerpieces around your store

One way to generate interest in your merchandise is to have several statement pieces around your store. It depends on you what those items should be but make sure they are exceptional and would definitely attract the public’s attention. Again, you may base it around themed collections where items of a similar nature can be grouped together to create display sets.



Always keep an updated inventory

Make sure customers have always something new to look forward to whenever they step foot inside your store. It’s best to always have a constant stream of new designs to sell, or if that’s not possible, learn how to rotate your merchandise so they would always look fresh. Remember our advice about having themes for seasonal or monthly displays? That’s one way to freshen up your store’s look and attract shoppers.



Keep your tools neat and in tip-top shape

Make sure there are no frayed edges or dull metals amongst the tools your using. No matter how pretty or elegant the pieces you may be selling, you may find yourself turning off potential customers if the tools you’re using are not in pristine condition. Perhaps it’s time for you to come visit our store and shop for new display tools.

Should You Wear Jewelry During the COVID -19 Pandemic?

Are you doing enough to protect yourself from the virus?


Close up of a pair hands with red nail polish and silver ring.

Washing our hands is one of our best defenses against the dreaded coronavirus. Health experts agree that soap, along with water, can break down the virus’s fatty lipids which destroy and prevent it from infecting you. In cases when these cleaning agents aren’t available, disinfecting using alcohol and gel sanitizers will suffice.

This begs the question about wearing jewelry in this day and age – should you still wear your precious jewelry pieces while the virus is still out there?

Read on to find out.


The 20-second rule

The Center for Disease Control recommends washing our hands for at least 20 seconds or the length of the “Happy Birthday” song sung twice. That’s enough time to thoroughly clean your hands and get rid of germs that may linger on them. It’s important to remember to take off your rings before washing lest you find them dropping into the drain. Remember to have the jewelry display tool of your choice nearby to place your accessory in the meantime. The next step to take is to disinfect your jewelry before putting it on again. You wouldn’t want to re-contaminate your hands by putting it without cleaning it again, right? If you need advice in this area, check out our tips on cleaning your jewelry from a previous article.

Follow what the doctors are doing

If you think that cleaning your hands and disinfecting your jewelry before putting them on is pretty tedious, that’s because it is! The CDC’s recommendation is that we should be washing our hands:

  • Before and after eating
  • Before and after food preparation
  • After coughing, sneezing, or sneezing into your bare hands (better wear a face mask and carry tissue all the time instead)
  • After using the bathroom
  • After caring for someone sick
  • Before you return home after being out


This could happen several times in a day and you would have to take off your rings each time you do.

Our advice?

Take a break from wearing your jewelry while the threat of COVID-19 is still present. Ever noticed how doctors rarely wear accessories especially while at work? That’s because germs could be hiding underneath jewelry. Leaving them on while washing is risky enough that they become prone to slippage, but even more so because it could be providing a safe cover from germs and viruses.

Another thing to consider is that certain gemstones can get easily damaged when they encounter chemicals present in sanitizers or antibacterial soaps. Better leave your collection in their respective display and storage holders and just use them once everything is safe and clear.


Each one of us is expected to do our part in keeping our communities safe and healthy. Taking a pause from wearing your jewelry can help a lot in saving you and your loved ones from getting sick. In the meantime, why not visit Nile Corp and check out our latest offerings which you can use to display and store your jewelry collection.

4 Ways to Untangle Your Necklaces

Some solutions for this jewelry storage headache.



Beaded necklaces hanging on display.

Ask any avid jewelry collector about some drawbacks to owning them and they’d probably tell you the same thing: separating them when they all get tangled up. Once you’ve reached a substantial amount in your collection you’d surely find yourself dealing with the same issue.

We wouldn’t want you to get frustrated over this. In this article, learn new tricks to help you manage this problem and find out how you could make the best use of your necklace display and storage tools to make sure this doesn’t happen again.



A tiny pin may just save your day

Simply slip the pin at the center of the knot then carefully use it to pull away the chains on top of one another. Try not to tug on the chain too hard to avoid breaking the links. You may also try out different-sized pins to see which one is suited for your necklaces.

Use your necklace display and storage tools accordingly

While our product offerings have different styles and functions, they are assigned to suit the different types of jewelry our buyers may have in their collections. That means you have to use your chosen jewelry display set for what they are intended for. In this example, the photo shows a wooden necklace displayer fit to carry three necklaces. We recommend that you only stick to three necklaces when you use this bust to avoid overloading it with jewelry pieces making them prone to tangling up. Make sure to adjust the necklaces if you will be placing them in this bust to avoid them overlapping and getting tangled up on one another.



Baby oil and powder are your friends

But what if your necklaces or bracelets still get tangled while hanging on your jewelry display stand? You can use baby oil to loosen them up enough that they can easily slide off each other. Gently massage the tangled chains to slowly untie them. Once that happens, you can easily wash off the baby oil residue with warm water and mild soap.

Another household item you can use is baby powder. Simply sprinkle the knot with these baby bathing essential and see your jewelry get unlaced. Same with oil, simply clean off your jewelry with water and soap.



Pick storage tools with compartments

Stay organized and knot-free with jewelry boxes and trays with compartments. You just have to make sure to place one piece per compartment to avoid creating a knotted mess with your valuables.

Jewelry Display Ideas to Make Your Merchandise Pop

Learn how to create merchandising displays that will capture your target customers.

Knowing the different techniques in retail display is important for jewelry entrepreneurs to learn. It can mean the difference between catching a shoppers’ attention and translating it to a sale or having your merchandise passed up.

Take this time to learn a few tricks of the trade in retail jewelry display and see your business prosper.

Use props that will catch your intended shopper’s eye

It helps to put yourself in your target customers’ shoes. In doing so, you’ll find out what kind of styles and aesthetics appeal to them. Because taste changes over time and across genders you must learn how to adapt your display techniques depending on the viewer.

A regal and elegant display may very well capture an older, more sophisticated buyer. On the other hand, if you’re advertising for someone young, why not go for bold colors or something that’s inspired by today’s youth culture?


Evoke romance using florals

Jewelry would always be a favorite gift between couples, and so, why not use displays that highlight that aspect of your merchandise? Flowers, aside from representing nature and freshness, also work well as props for couples jewelry. Think of the colors that will go best with your jewelry display to create beautiful setups.


Think of your jewelry display’s material when matching them with your merchandise

Different fabrics and textures give off different vibes so choose one that goes well with your chosen motif. Wooden and burlap jewelry displays give off earthy feels which work well when used with nature-inspired displays and jewelry items. Velvet and silk fabrics, meanwhile, are more suited for your more high-end pieces so choose carefully when matching your tools to your merchandise.


Colors speak volumes for your collection, so make sure to choose well

We associate meanings and moods to certain colors so it’s natural that your choice of hue can affect how a shopper views your display. Want something cool and calm? Go for a blue-themed set. Or perhaps you prefer bright colors? Red and gold props and jewelry stones are your best bet. Think of what you want your target shopper to take away from your collection and make your display revolve around that concept. Just remember that if you choose to go with this route try to limit your colors up to three only and make sure they complement each other.


Be mindful of sizes and proportions

It’s natural for large items to attract our attention first when looking at a group of items, so if you want to shine the spotlight on a particular item, it’s best to place them front and center or display them with tools and props that will make them bigger and more noticeable.

How to Increase Engagement for Your Online Jewelry Store

Use these techniques and find success on the web.

Beyond securing your domain name, getting a reliable host, and making sure your website has content, what else must be done to make sure your online business succeeds? You must know how to capture your target audience. With more people now doing their shopping online, knowing these tips and tricks is a must for every entrepreneur.



Make each page informative without piling on too many details

Right from the get-go, your homepage should be able to tell your target audience what your shop’s all about. Ditch the mysterious approach as it might cost you a few visitors. Make it clear that you sell jewelry through words and photos.

When putting information on your website make sure it answers these questions that potential shoppers may ask when visiting an e-commerce site:


  1. “What kind of items are they selling?
  2. “Do I need the items they’re selling?”
  3. “What are my options?”
  4. “How much do the items cost”?
  5. “How can I pay for my purchases?”

Use hi-res original product photos to attract shoppers

Your choice of product photos dictates whether you can make a sale or not. Remember that your aim is to entice people to make them want to buy from you, so grainy pictures just won’t cut it. Because you’re selling jewelry, make sure your product photos are able to show them in all their glory. Show different angles so that potential buyers can see every inch and corner of a jewelry piece. If you will be using jewelry display stands and holders, make sure to pick the ones that are appropriate for the type of jewelry you are selling. Likewise, even if you are only using them to display your merchandise, it is important that your tools are also in their best conditions so that the overall result would look pleasing in photos. You may even go for a full photoshoot with models, backdrops, and props to help sell your wares.



Make user interface a priority

User interface or UI is the design and navigational system that users interact with whenever they visit a website.

As an e-commerce website, this is a must. You need to make it easy for potential customers to navigate your website, or else they would look elsewhere. Going back to the first point of this piece, your pages must be able to answer the customer’s questions. Crucial elements that help in the buying process are (aside from product photos) product descriptions, call-to-actions, reviews, price tags, and navigational buttons.



Don’t forget to optimize your site for mobile use

Making it possible for your customers to do their shopping anytime, anywhere is another way to retain them and attract new ones. You can do that with a mobile-optimized website. Different screens would require different image specs and navigational layout demands, so take the time to optimize your online shop for mobile use.

Couples Jewelry Ideas and Shopping Guide

New and long-time couples will equally find helpful jewelry shopping tips in this piece.


Close up of a pair of hands wearing weddings rings.

One of the best ways to show your love to one another is through jewelry. Because a piece of jewelry is made up of precious stones and elements, it makes for a thoughtful and romantic gift to symbolize a couple’s love for one another. Now shopping for one may seem daunting especially if this is your first time to do.

Don’t worry, we got you covered.


Couples jewelry come in many different styles:


Matching Bracelets

This is a simple and subtle way of showing your commitment to your partner. You can choose to go for a chain link-style bracelet in gold or silver, depending on you and your partner’s preferences. You can also choose to go with one that has charms. Personalize it with symbols and stones that are meaningful for you two. There are also nameplate bracelets where you can have a special date or your names etched on the plate.


Lock and Key Necklace

Now we’re raising the love ante. Evoking old school romances you see in works of fiction, the lock and key necklace is meant to symbolize undying devotion and perfect companionship – you own the key to your partner’s heart.


Locket Necklaces and Bracelets

Perfect for the sentimental types or those engaged in a long-distance relationship, it’s meant to show that you’ll always be there for each other even when miles apart. How sweet.


Matching Puzzle Pieces/Two Halves of a Heart Pendant

You’ll each be sharing a piece of each other’s pendant and only through a reunion will they perfectly match up with another. Jerry Maguire said it best when he said, “You complete me,” and with this jewelry you will. (Yes, we can be cheesy here sometimes).


Don’t forget to avail yourself of a matching necklace display and box for your purchased couples jewelry. Visit our site today!

Some additional reminders before purchasing couples jewelry:


Make sure you pick a design you both like

The idea behind couples jewelry is that they will complement each other, so naturally, you have to pick a design that the two of you will like. Talk about both of your preferences so you can agree on what type of jewelry the two of you will prefer. Sitting down together to discuss possible designs would be a wise move.


Agree on a budget

Another factor to take note of is the cost. Make sure you are both in agreement about your budget so you can focus on the ones you really like and eliminate some jewelry pieces right away. You may canvass online for leads so you’d know what to look for.


Consider maintenance costs

Sorry to burst your bubble but jewelry is an investment, so make sure you’re doing what you can to help protect it from theft and loss. We’ve previously talked about jewelry insurance, as well as tips on the proper care and maintenance of precious stones so you may want to read up on those too.

Keeping Your Jewelry Clean During the COVID-19 Outbreak

The things you must remember to keep yourself safe and healthy.


Close up of a person with tattoos and bracelets reading from an ebook reader.

Health experts tell us that even simple acts can keep the coronavirus away. Aside from keeping a safe distance from other people, washing our hands for at least 20 seconds is key to keeping ourselves healthy.

Because a lot of us are keeping ourselves holed up at home, it’s very likely that our jewelry hasn’t been taken out from their jewelry display stands and storage boxes for months now. On the rare occasion where you use them when you go out, you need to take some steps to ensure you’re not bringing in germs or viruses that will harm you and your family.

But first of all…


A pair of hands getting washed.

Remember to remove your rings and bracelet whenever you wash your hands

Experts say the length of time you must wash your hands must run the length of the “Happy Birthday” song. While you’re focused on singing and washing your hands, you may not notice your ring or bracelet sliding down and going straight down the drain. To avoid that from happening, make sure to take off your valuables before you wash your hands. Have a jewelry holder – these trinket boxes would make for lovely jewelry holders – and keep them nearby. But be careful still that you don’t knock over the box and drop your precious jewelry down the drain.

Better yet…


Don’t wear your jewelry while you’re out

There’s a reason why doctors don’t wear jewelry at work, and that is because they can potentially bring in bacteria from wearing jewelry. Another reason to give your jewelry a rest while there’s a pandemic? Jewelry can potentially hide body parts that need to be cleansed. For people with sensitive skin, prolonged wearing of jewelry may cause an allergic reaction. When this happens, cuts on the skin’s surface would make it easier for the virus to enter a person’s body.

But if you insist on wearing jewelry at this point in time…


Keep it simple when cleaning

This means all it takes when you need to clean the jewelry you’re wearing is to use a mild detergent like the one used to clean baby bottles and warm water. Try soaking your pieces in soapy water for 10 minutes or you may use a soft-bristled brush to carefully remove dirt or grime on your jewelry pieces. Avoid using alcohol or hand sanitizers to clean your collection. While they are effective at disinfecting our hands, their chemicals may cause a reaction on precious stones that will lead to cracks and breaking. Air dry your jewelry before you put them on or store them for later use.

How to Wear Chunky Jewelry

Add a little bit of edge to your style with chunky pieces.

Wearing big and bold jewelry pieces requires a delicate balance. You wouldn’t want them to overwhelm your outfit but just give it the right amount of flair to give you extra style points as you go about your day.

If your jewelry display collection lacks chunky pieces, this article may just push you into getting them.

Stick to one chunky piece

Piling on too many jewelry pieces can leave you looking cluttered and busy. You’re better off keeping things simple by sticking to one chunky piece and wearing only that or a couple of delicate pieces to complement the look.

Pair up your chunky necklace with a simple neckline

Keeping with the theme of balance, when wearing a chunky necklace you need to pair it up with a neckline with a simple design. Ditch the frills, the peter pan collars, and cowl necks if you want to wear a chunky neckpiece. For more impact, you can go with a high neckline or a low neckline so people can focus on your necklace.


Choose neutral shades for your clothes to go with your pieces

Simplicity is key. You will look more polished if you pair up your chunky jewelry with neutral shades. This puts the spotlight on your jewelry, as brightly-colored clothes would take away attention from your accessories. The same goes for your nail polish and makeup. Better keep things subdued so they don’t create a look that clashes.

Mind your face’s shape when choosing earrings

Unfortunately, not everyone will look good with big and ornate earrings. Once again, it is about keeping things balanced. You can look at the diagram above to see which types of earrings would go well with your face shape. Lucky for you if you have an oval shape as any style of earring will look good on you.


Simple hairstyles are a great match for big, ornate jewelry pieces

You wouldn’t want your hairstyle to clash with your chunky jewelry. Better keep your hair straight and polished; leave the big, bouncy waves to when you’re wearing dainty accessories. A nice, chic updo also works as it would keep the hair away from your ears and face which would make observers keep their focus on your jewelry.
