Comments on: Tackling the Bracelet Display Dilemma

I experienced the same reluctance from customers to touch anything on my three tier bracelet bar. My maple tree needed pruning so I took one of the branches and laid it flat on my display table with a nail every 1 1/2 inches. Each cluster bracelet lays flat on the table with the round end of the toggle clasp hanging over the nail. My bracelet sales increased dramatically as did the compliments on my display. It got customers talking and staying in my booth longer, looking at other items. To tidy up after customers have finished, just carefully pick up the branch to straighten out the bracelets.

I use a very wide branch (think dowel rod size) between a forked branch on either end to display my bracelets at shows.

I use the Bracelet T-bars as well, but I don’t put them onto the display clasped. I simply drape them over the t-bars. That makes them neat and organized, while still very easy to pick up to examine closer or try on.

Bula Susan,

Great ideas . I like the paper machier hand model. Was actually thinking of making one out of clay but this sounds simpler, so will be trying this out soon.
for my copper wire rings and bracelets!

best regards from sunny Fiji Islands

Thanks for sharing the great way of displaying bracelets. The stone and statue display was inspiring. Would appreciate if you have similar ideas for displaying necklaces and earrings other than the normal busts and earring stands.

I really like the look of displaying bracelets on rocks, but they are heavy. This weekend at a show in Vermont I saw another jeweler with a simple, wonderful display of a long, thick driftwood branch, whitewashed and on its side, with bracelets draped over the top.

I really like the stone and statue displays in particular. They look neat and not difficult to keep that way. The bracelet bowl might be nice for displaying bracelets of a similar style or sale items.

Lovely ideas Susan and they will make your table look more unique and visually interesting! I know how you feel about wanting your pieces to be tried on. I do use a T bar but don’t do the bracelets up and let them drape so people do pick them up and try them on more. And with my cheaper bracelets I use a few white rectangular plates and make 3 small neat stacks of bracelets on each in colours that go together for people to sift through, of course I have to keep neatening them up every so often 🙂

Thanks for your feedback Rena. How do you display your bracelets?

Susan, I like how all the displays you’re testing go with the look and feel of your earthy jewelry and your overall business. I agree that many mainstream jewelry displays make it difficult for customers to interact with the bracelets on them. My personal “rule of thumb” for displaying bracelets is that the customer should be able to use just one hand to pick up the bracelet from the display. (Unless they are pricey bracelets that need more security.)
