It really helped to visually see all the pieces together. I will next do a by line portfolio. I’ve already created seven lines of jewelry which is how I displayed my pieces for the craft show. I also created a simple description of the jewelry line for the show as well. It helped tremendously to think of my jewelry in these terms. I can now approach a boutique for several ines of jewelry and see what they say.

For example, most of my creations have fallen into the categories of: Pearl Necklaces, Statement Necklaces, Natural Gemstone/Shell Necklaces, and Count Your Blessings bracelets.

I created a 1-page “Product Line Sheet” in a Word document using tables to lay out each “line” with 5-6 1″x1″ thumbnail photos (clear and bright!) with brief descriptions below. Be sure to include your business logo and contact info! That can be your “leave-behind”.

Then you could gather up 2-3 of your best samples of each line and put them in some carry-able display case. I’ve used those “roll-up jewelry holders on hangers” that you can find at Joann’s or B,B & B. They are compact and so easy to carry around and then you unroll it on the counter and take out your wares for them to handle and “ooh and ahh” over!

Good luck this season!
Linda
