How to Talk About Jewelry, Words to Use
Posted on July 7th, 2011 No commentsThe best way to sell jewelry is the old school way… by talking to your customers. You got that right, talking to customers is still by far and away, the best way to sell your jewelry. Talking to your customers, you personally take them through your selection, so they can feel more personal touch from your business. The problem is, that you may not know what to say, or how to talk about your jewelry,
what words to use, what words to not use, when meeting with prospects.
Here are some bits and pieces of advice for you. Start by asking your customer how they are doing, or comment about the weather. Make your clients feel relaxed when talking to you. When describing your jewelry, do not use slang words, nor professional jargons. Your clients may not understand you. Talk to your customers as if they do not know anything about the jewelry you are selling. Never assume that your clients know enough for you might miss out on some facts they might be interested in, that might just be the selling point in the whole conversation.
Information is crucial in talking to your clients. Always mention where the jewelry comes from, by who was made of. Talk to them about the material used and how you created it. Your client will surely want to find out if the jewelry is made out of pewter, stone, shell, or other natural material. The more you describe the product, the less doubt and questions the buyer will have.
If you really want to achieve high sales just by talking to your clients, you better use positive and descriptive words to pertain to your products. Say some inspiring words to excite your customers into buying your works of art such as wonderful, priceless, irresistible, splendid, sexy, passionate and unique.
Another trick is to use the interplay of words to create something functional yet exciting. Instead of just saying earrings, why don’t you call it “ear candy”? Wouldn’t you be more interested in buying ear candies than plain old earrings?
Always be confident in talking, as your words are confident and refined, the client feels safer and entrusted, and this makes the sale a lot more easily.

Selling Your Jewelry on Consignment
Posted on July 6th, 2011 No commentsThese are troubled times, and many people want to sell some of their more flamboyant jewelry to cover the cost of living. The safest, but not necessarily fastest, way to do this is by selling your jewelry on consignment.
The first thing you have to do is to get it appraised by a professional. You may have received an appraisal with the item when it was purchased. Having that piece of paper will give you strong bargaining power when you begin your negotiations.
You will need to set the minimum amount you will accept for the sale of your jewelry. This is the bottom line amount…after the seller has taken his commission. You need to have agreed on his percentage before you sign a contract. He will then price the object at whatever price he thinks he can get for it, and barter down to the minimum you have set.
Once you have shopped for and found a jewelry shop that is interested in selling your piece, bring it, and the appraisal in for their examination. Get all terms and conditions in writing. As in all things, you need to check out several shops and pick the one that can handle your needs. Look for:
· A shop in an area with good traffic, a name that is known, and active business.
· Retail and consignment sales need to be on the same value level as the pieces you are selling. Shoppers don’t go into a fancy jewelry shop to buy costume jewelry. Nor do they go into a low-price shop to buy your heirlooms.
· You don’t want your jewelry thrown in a case, poorly displayed, and rarely shown. Check back now and then!

For instance, diamonds contain carbon, which is a non-metal, whereas rubies contain aluminum.

Design Jewelry Online For the Perfect Look
Posted on July 3rd, 2011 No commentsWhat does it take to design jewelry that will perfectly match any outfit you have? Do you need to sit for hours in classes that will teach you how to string beads, wrap wires, or select the perfect items? No. All you have to do is go online and find a truly unique jewelry design website.
The best design sites allow you to create necklaces, bracelets, or earrings using an interactive jewelry making tool. The best part is that once you have designed your item, the company will make it and send it directly to your home.
Bohemian Flare
When you wear your bohemian inspired embroidered shirt over a flowing broomstick skirt, you don’t want to be restricted to gold or silver chains. A braided leather strand accented with an ohm pendent or a number of crystals is much more in theme with your style. You can create just the right necklace, one that matches your funky appearance, without setting foot outside your door.
Stylishly Suave
What if you are trying to match an elegant outfit for a night out on the town? Pick an elegant silver chain and add a pendant to either match or accent your dress. Perhaps you would prefer a string of pearls, hand tied and dyed to match a number of colors? Few things are as traditional as pearls, and you don’t have to wander from store to store to find the ones you want.
Exploring your Inner Artist
One of my biggest objections when it comes to bead stores is the fact that I just can’t see what a project will look like when I finish. It can be frustrating to have an idea in my head, but have something completely different appear as I work. Sometimes I lose hours of labor because an idea just doesn’t work out right.
With the online jewelry designer, I can see exactly what my item will look like before I even start. When I have created something I like, I just purchase it and let someone else worry about fiddling with beads, attaching clasps, and turning the parts into a whole. The idea I had results in an exact copy.
Do You Need Experience?
One of the nicest things about using the online jewelry designers is that you don’t have to have any experience in creating jewelry. The program is designed to help you find different materials, alternate pendants, and complimentary accessories. If you combine a strand and a pendant and don’t like the combination, simple remove what you don’t like with the click of your mouse and try something else.
Once you have created exactly what you want, simply send the item to production. In a matter of a few days, your item will arrive made exactly the way you wanted, with no more work on your part.
Think of making matching necklaces for all the women in a bridal party. How about the same bracelet in different sizes for grandmother, mother, and child? The possibilities are nearly as endless, limited only by your creativity. Take a look at what you can do, without sales pressure, while drinking an ice coffee at home.

Colored Diamonds Make a Beautiful Choice For Fine Jewelry
Posted on June 29th, 2011 No commentsMost people have at least a passing familiarity with what diamonds tend to look like. Beautifully glistening and sparkling, the clear appearance of the gemstone is known as the stone of choice for wedding rings and engagement rings. However, there are other types of diamonds available, and they are called colored diamonds. Designer jewelers apply their skill to pieces that feature these luxurious colored diamonds, and to great effect.
The diamonds that are typically on display at jewelry stores are what are known as pure diamonds. There are no impurities at all in these diamonds, and the gemstones are colorless and transparent. What gives certain diamonds their color are actual impurities and defects to the structure of the stone which impede or help in light absorption, which causes certain colors to be seen by the human eye.
Colored diamonds are most often found in tints of brown, yellow, blue, grey, green, pink, and the very rare red shade. The colored gemstones are graded based on the intensity of color, and the value of these precious stones are based on the color and clarity of the gemstone.
Jewelry stores, both online and brick and mortar, will stock a good selection of fine gemstone jewelry for your perusal. Designer jewelry can cover the gamut of rings, engagement and wedding rings, watches, necklaces and pendants, bracelets and anklets, cuff links, tiaras and other unusual pieces. An easy way to get started looking at gemstone jewelry is to explore jewelry webstores that offer beautiful examples. In the comfort of your home or office you can take in all of the lovely styles, and begin to sort through the pieces and styles you prefer. When you have determined what those are, you might take the next step of visiting a local jeweler to see the pieces up close and examine them for yourself. A local jeweler can also answer any questions you might have about the piece or gemstone, so you can clarify any questions and get the answers you need to make an informed decision.
