I love this! Really great idea to give customers an array of things to choose from. I do have a question. How do the jewelry items get transported? I always have a problem with organizing my jewelry when I transport it and I’d like to know how other people keep their stuff from getting all tangled up together. Thank you:)

Thank you everyone! Sheri and I are really proud of our combined efforts! It’s great that we are family working together on something that we both love! We support each other so much and cheer each other on, which has been AMAZING! As for the tagging the jewelry – we each have our own price tags on every item. If one of us gets the sale – the other will package it up for the customer! Nothing is better then sharing your craft business with someone you trust!!! Thank you again for all of your kind words! It means so much to both of us that fellow crafter’s like our display and jewelry!

This is wonderful! You have found the perfect way to maintain autonomy of your own businesses, yet have all the logistical support of having a partner!

If I may ask, how do you handle the transactions? Do you use tags that identify which pieces get credited to each business, or how does this work? I’ve seen people sharing tables with separate cash boxes, but that meant customers had to do two payment transactions for their purchases, if buying from both vendors. I would love blending everything together on the table – makes it so visually interesting! Good luck to you both – Family Rocks! 😀

I love this! Lovely display and love that you are doing it together. I am quite jealous now. My sister-in-law makes cakes and we often used to say how fun it would be to open a cafe jewellery shop 🙂

Sheri and Gwen, What a lovely job the two of you have done in combining your different jewelry art! I’m sure your customers love the Yin / Yang of your Earth and Sea creations together in one booth. The driftwood blends well with the burlap and linen for a lovely natural, earthy setting.

Thanks for sharing this neat way two jewelry businesses can work together! 🙂
