3 Work-Appropriate Jewelry Tips: Can’t Miss

There are a few things about jewelry that everyone should know, especially when theyÔÇÖve started to amass a larger jewelry collection; this includes things like knowing how to use jewelry display stands to highlight your favorite pieces, knowing how to keep your jewelry clean, knowing how to use jewelry display stands to keep your jewelry stored properly, knowing how to wear complimentary pieces, and so on. But one area of jewelry-wearing is often over-looked: work-appropriate jewelry. How can you be sure your jewelry is appropriate to wear in the workplace? LetÔÇÖs take a look at 3 work-appropriate jewelry tips that you canÔÇÖt afford to miss.

Tip #1: Remove one piece before you leave the house.

This tip is often touted as being a general rule of thumb of jewelry, but itÔÇÖs definitely more of an essential tip when it comes to the workplace. You donÔÇÖt want to look like youÔÇÖre overdoing it with the accessories, so itÔÇÖs best to keep it simple; as a general rule of thumb, two jewelry accessories (or three if they are very simple and not flashy) is enough for most workdays.

Tip #2: You can go boldÔÇöbut only wear one piece that day

If youÔÇÖre itching to wear your favorite bold chunky pendant necklace, never fret: you can wear it in the workplace! Just be sure that itÔÇÖs the only piece of jewelry youÔÇÖre wearing that day. Bold pieces draw a lot of attention and itÔÇÖs better to wear one statement piece than a statement piece plus 5 other accessories.

Tip #3: Stick to the rules!

ItÔÇÖs vital that you read up on your workplaceÔÇÖs rules regarding jewelry before you leave the house. Your workplace may have rules about wearing certain types of jewelry for safety or hygienic reasons, or rules regarding what jewelry is appropriate when you interact with customers, teach

Myth versus FACT: 2 Myths That Can Damage Your Jewelry

Fashion, statements, and expression. These are all terms that define jewelry. But our favorite gems are not immune to being damaged by accidents, improper care, or simply the ravages of time. We have all seen them: ÔÇÿTooth paste for your silversÔÇÖ, ÔÇÿlemon juice for your gold.ÔÇÖ The list of DYI jewelry maintenance is endless. But what works for those specialty jewelry? You can ensure that your jewelry lasts longer–perhaps even a lifetime!–by avoiding the following all-too-common jewelry myths which can actually damage or even irreparably destroy your favorite pieces.

Myth#1: DIY Storage Units

One of the most common mistakes people make with their jewelry is simply tossing it on a box or drawer without a second thought. One DYI project is converting an old box into a storage unit. But is this an effective and efficient way of storing jewelry? LetÔÇÖs look at a couple of examples found here. These are VERY cute ideas! ┬áHowever, many of these projects can lead to tangles and scratches, just to name two problems. Most of these also leave precious metals open to air, which often leads to oxidation. You need to purchase special jewelry packaging and other display solutions which will keep necklaces from getting tangled, rings from getting scratched, and fine metals from oxidizing. Jewelry packaging comes in many shapes and sizes so be sure to research the best type before you buy. Here are some GREAT solutions Gems On Display offers for jewelry storage and counter displays.

Myth#2: Using DIY cleaning methods on fine jewelry

The DIY myths do not stop at mere storage either, most likely you have come across many do-it-yourself jewelry cleaning solutions such as using dish soap, toothpaste. Here is an example of a DIY cleaner. The basic ingredients include: vinegar and oils. Vinegar should NEVER be applied to fine metals or pearls. Vinegar is an acid that erodes away metals and removes finishes. This is a very HARSH method of cleaning. Your metals may shine for a day or two, but oxidation WILL yield its ugly head. Costume jewelry would fair the worst with this cleaning method, as acids erode the finish. A better alternative is sticking to a gentle cleaning solution. We offer many options as far as jewelry cleaner is concerned such as Realm Jewelry cleaner. This is easy on fine jewelry and gems, and even includes a brush for those hard to reach nooks. Follow this gentle cleaner up with a polishing cloth, and any piece will be restored to its original beauty.

Holiday Gift Packaging

As summer is winding down and fall is almost upon us, it’s time to start thinking about the holiday season that is rapidly approaching! It’s time to get ahead on holiday planning, and we know one of the big things on that to-do list is getting your packaging products lined up and ready to go. Let’s take a look at the packaging products we have to offer, and some of the most popular choices for holiday gift packaging.

Merchandise Bags

Choosing the right merchandise bag is important. You want something that reflects your branding well, but that also reflects the fact that it is the holiday season. We offer a selection that ranges from paper merchandise bags to high end gift bags–all in a wide variety of colors and styles.

Tissue Paper

Choose a tissue paper that complements your gift bag of choice! The addition of tissue paper really makes purchasing special for your customers. Even if the purchased item isn’t for them, they will feel like they are getting a gift. Also, with the addition of tissue paper, they have a ready-to-gift item. Being able to have the gift wrapping already taken care of means a lot to holiday shoppers.

Bows

Along the same lines as tissue paper, a bow really makes your packaging special during the holidays. Browse through our selection for bow and bag pairing options to find the color combo that matches your branding!

Jewelry Boxes

Last, but certainly not least, jewelry boxes are very important! From gold and silver cotton filled boxes, to the luxury wood boxes, we have you covered. One of our most popular options for holiday shopping is the Magnetic Ribbon Box Series. This series has three color options, including a red and white option that is perfect for the holiday season. These high quality paper boxes already come with a ribbon and bow, making them the perfect choice for an instant gift.
