Jewelry Cases

Jewelry cases are probably the best display solution for your more expensive pieces of jewelry. In addition to the advantage of protecting against theft and damage, they create an impression of high-value jewelry.

Jewelry cases come in a variety of styles and designs, specialized for different types of jewelry. Many of them are configured to display quite a bit of jewelry while using only a small footprint of space on your table.

You might think that jewelry cases could deter sales because customers may be hesitant to ask you to open them and take out jewelry for them to see. But seeing jewelry behind glass enhances the customer’s impression of the jewelry’s value - after all, it’s rare to find costume jewelry locked in a glass case!

Jewelry cases are also a handy way to store your jewelry when you’re not displaying it at shows. (Keep some anti-tarnish strips in each case and change them every three to six months too keep your jewelry metals from dulling.)

If you keep your cases loaded with jewelry between shows, you’re ready to display your work at a moment’s notice. Whenever a customer calls to see if they can come by your house to do some jewelry shopping, it’s easy to just get out your loaded jewelry cases to show them your inventory.

Pre-loaded jewelry cases also make your booth set-up time much shorter when you do shows.

Be sure to keep the spare set of keys that come with your jewelry cases in a safe place—ideally in a place that will be with you when you do shows (such as your wallet or cash register / money pouch). Just be sure the spare keys aren’t hundreds of miles away at home when your display is all set up at a show! You don't want to have to break the glass to get into your jewelry cases.

To get a good deal on jewelry cases, shop around and compare features, styles, and prices on different suppliers' jewelry cases. Prices can vary widely on the same item. Be sure to factor in shipping costs if you're ordering a display case via a catalog or online.
