The Latest Jewelry Displays

The Latest Jewelry Displays

Now that we are heading into the summer season, this is a great time to experiment with some new ways to display fashion jewelry. Jewelry is always a hot item that constantly needs to be restyled and re-imagined. This is a great time to invest in some new displayers. We have added some new displayers to our inventory that I’m sure you will love. They are very fashion forward and outside of the box. We are very excited to present our new merchandise to you.

Honeycomb Jewelry Displayer

The honeycomb jewelry displayer is a bold and creative way to show earrings. It is a metal half round that looks like the inside of a honeycomb. Fishhook type earrings can easily be placed inside of the displayer for a secure fit. I recommend staggering the earrings in size and style for a more interesting look and feel. This displayer measures 12” in height and 5 3/8” in width. The displayer comes with a ribbon attachment that allows the unit to be hung on a hook, doorknob or drawer pull. The unit can also be propped up against any secure surface for easy setup.

Wire Jewelry Tree

The wire jewelry tree is fast becoming one of the hottest new items in our inventory this year. This item is all about fashion and it is a great choice for showing off your jewelry. Whether your jewelry selection is conservative or eclectic, the jewelry tree will add an element of style that your customers will not be able to take their eyes away from. Each one of the jewelry trees is handcrafted and stands approximately 10 ½” tall. The trees are completely unique in their design and no two are alike. The displayer also features copper bendable wire branches that can be adjusted to your liking. At the tips of the “branches” are inserts to attach earrings. Mix styles and colors for an organic look.

Rosewood Necklace Displays

Our newest addition to our necklace display options are our new rosewood finish. These displayers feature a white midsection and rosewood top and base. The displayers are available in two sizes 6 ½ “and 7 1/2 “inches high. These will make any style of jewelry stand out and be noticed. The white with rosewood contrast looks great with traditional and contemporary jewelry, silver and gold metals too.

We are always excited to hear from you. If you would like us to feature your business or you would just like to share an idea, please do so by dropping us a line. Always check in with us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest trends, tips and retail news.

Brand New Boutique Merchandise

Our Boutique line of merchandise has been very popular and successful. We now have an exciting new color addition! The Ivory Collection is here! The new color evokes a cool Mediterranean feeling that will look amazing in your store. We are going to take a few moments to highlight the Ivory Collection offerings.

2-Way Rack

Our Ivory 2 Way Rack features push button adjustment that allows for adjusting the height on the rack from 48” to a maximum height of 72”. This is a great feature because it allows all types of merchandise to be displayed from jeans and t-shirts, swimwear to formal gowns. Whenever you display clothing on a 2 Way Rack, it is always helpful to display it at different sight levels. Whenever you get the opportunity to display clothing on a rack you can trick the customer’s eye into wondering throughout the rack. This will keep the customer’s attention on the merchandise and allow them to take in all the merchandise not just one thing.

3-Way Rack

Our Ivory 3 Way Rack Features the same push button adjustment for height however, this rack has a unique element which is the third arm that comes out from the side arching out to display merchandise for an interesting visual presentation. This rack along with the 2 Way Rack and the remaining Ivory Collection have finials that can be added to the tops of the rack to add even more stylish elements to create a unique look that be changed as often as your merchandise. The finials simply snap into place after you remove the standard square finial from the existing rack.
