Jewelry Display Colors

My wife Alicia assists me with my jewelry shows, and her ideas are really what make my shows successful.

Okay, so now that I've given the credit where it's deserved, let me tell you some of my wife's great ideas for jewelry display colors.

Tip #1:

I used to buy black fabric to cover my jewelry tables (I guess like everyone else does) and I thought it looked pretty good.

My wife buys her fabric at WalMart for $1/yd (marked down because there is only 2 or 3 yds left on the bolt) and she chooses jewel-tone satins like dark red, deep green, golds, silvers, dark blue... and depending on the venue of the show we're doing she covers the tables to match the local decor.

It truly comes out beautifully and the colors really add to the Jewelry rather than take away from it.

Tip #2:

One day I saw my wife outside picking through some medium-sized rocks in our yard. She told me she had a great idea.

She brought in several rocks between 8" - 10" wide, some with smooth edges some with sharp edges. She then proceeded to clean and then paint the rocks with FLAT gold paint (with a brush, not spray) and with FLAT black paint. As I watched her paint the rocks, I thought, "Uhhhhh, I don't know about this!"

After the paint dried, my wife retrieved several pieces of jewelry and laid them across the rocks. She surrounded each large rock with smaller painted rocks, seashells and glass pebbles. The effect is amazing!

Now between our many black velvet displays we have a bunch of rocks, shells and pebbles with my jewelry designs spread out among them.

Sales have increased since we started using Alicia's painted rocks!
