I am glad to find that I am not the only one who thinks tall jewelry displays are awkward for some. I see too many displays at art shows which are difficult for me, a short person, to get a full view. The booths look very professional, I agree, but are not as welcoming as those a few inches shorter. Thanks Rena.

Excellent point, Rena. I had the same experience with a customer in a wheel chair last Saturday. She could see what she wanted to try on, so I helped her get it, clasped it on for her, gave her a mirror, and she bought an $82 flourite necklace and wore it right then.

By the way, I can’t find the Lewis and Clark tables anywhere, and similar ones are priced over $100. I think you got a good deal when you bought yours!

In reply to Jane.

Thanks so much for your lovely comment, Jane! You’re right, there are very good reasons to raise your tables. But the reason I didn’t is because I’ve often had customers come by in a wheelchair or scooter chair – and a raised table can be very difficult for these customers to shop from. I don’t want them to feel excluded.

Hi Rena,
After returning from a one-day show last Saturday and unpacking all the heavy tables and book shelves, I am impressed with your lightweight and minimal organization of your booth. My question for you is aren’t the tables a little short? So many places say to raise display tables with pvc pipe or expanding table legs. How do your customers react to the shorter tables? Just seeking your advice about this. And, thanks so much for your tutorials–they are clear and easy to follow!

Thank you so much for all your posts about booth set up. im currently trying to accumulate all I need to be a vendor at a show. (my new years resolution is to be in a show/craft fair before 2014 is over)

for anyone looking for display trays look on facebook for a resale page in your area and post something like -iso jewelry display trays- and see if someone is looking get rid of some. I did this and im getting 10trays and 5 necklace easels for $25! at the local bead store they are around $4-5 so um saving a few bucks. now to just find a deal on a table and lamps lol

Hello Rena, Thank you for these wonderful ideas. I have trouble with making my table look fabulous and also with pricing my jewelry. I don’t want to under sell my product and my time. Thank you again. I am glad I found your site. Regards, Bonnie

Rena! How so very generous of you to share all this information! I found you because I was considering buying an aluminum rolling case just like yours. Now, I am definitely doing it. Your style is my style. I’m all about keeping it simple. Again, thank you for sharing!

Thank you, Rups! :) In My Jewelry Booth Display - 30 Minutes to Set Up I list all my display items, with each item linking to more info about it, including where I got it. I purchased these items a few years back, so some of the sources may be carrying different items now. But you can also do quite well with displays that are different from mine - the key is to define how you want your displays to function for you (as I did in Your Jewelry Display Design), and then focus on acquiring display items that will help you achieve that functionality. I wish you lots of success and great experiences at your jewelry shows! :)
