Ideas for Body Jewelry Displays

Consider using body jewelry displays that have a “cool” attention-grabbing appearance, because many of the people who wear tongue rings, belly rings, nose rings, toe rings, and other body piercing jewelry tend to be more attracted to nontraditional ways of displaying these items.

Check jewelry supply catalogs, body piercing boutiques in your local shopping mall, body piercing jewelry sites on the Internet, and eBay for examples of body jewelry displays. There’s a variety of creative ways to display barbells and other types of body jewelry, and it’s a fun challenge to come up with something that suits this jewelry trend while coordinating with the rest of your booth display.

Because this type of jewelry tends to be small, be sure to use body jewelry displays that make the jewelry stand out visually from the display. Also consider portability of the display, stability in outdoor conditions if you do outdoor shows, ease of showing your prices, how much table space the display uses, and how many pieces of body jewelry fit on the display.

One popular, portable, and easy solution for body jewelry displays is small tins or gem jars, available from many jewelry suppliers.

These little containers show the jewelry and keep it rounded up neatly, while providing ready-to-go packaging when the jewelry is purchased. They also keep the pieces clean, which is an important consideration in pierced body jewelry since infections are more common in body piercings than in ear piercings.

You might also consider displaying body jewelry in small, electric-colored jewelry boxes that draw attention to the display and appeal to many body piercing jewelry customers.

You may want to have a sign on top of each of your body jewelry displays, stating what kind of jewelry (navel jewelry, tongue rings, toe rings, etc.) the display holds.

Because body jewelry is unfortunately often shoplifted, you may want to consider using a locking body jewelry display case, depending on where you will be showing your jewelry. In a crowded show with lots of vendors and lots of customers, a small piece of body jewelry is easily and commonly stolen from an open display.
