An Early Fall Jewelry Forecast (Necklace Edition)


Jewelry is one thing that a woman should never regret buying.  It might be frivolous for some people especially for expensive pieces, however, you must learn to look beyond the price and see the jewelry piece beyond it.  It is a symbol of your freedom and identity.   It can say a lot about a person’s character and personality.  Choosing a piece can be a very personal experience as well.  After all, it can be a heirloom piece that is passed on from you to your kin and not just placed in a necklace display case to be admired. 


Choosing the right piece is important to make sure that it matches your body type and personality.  For this coming fall season, necklaces display cases are sure to showcase several pieces from famous jewelers and even department store brand names.   This would mean that there would be a lot of choices for you, the discerning shopper.  It would be a blend of different materials which will showcase the creativity of the designer and artist.  So, for those who love having some bling dangling from their necks all the time, here are what we think would be trends for necklaces this fall.

Statement necklaces are still in the trending list.

Big, bold and chunky pieces are still going to belong to the list of options for necklaces for the coming season.  The reason for this is that these big pieces will be able to stand out amidst the layer of clothes that will be worn especially when the temperature starts to dip. Just make sure you have the right outfit for this neck candy because they tend to be loud. You will definitely need to think many times before using a statement necklace with formal attire!


Mixing of materials is normal.

 


Creativity is well represented with the way the materials are mixed and matched together to form one stunning piece of jewelry. Precious materials and semi-precious stones are going to be the trend for this season. Do not be afraid to mix and match your pieces, but make sure that you consider appropriateness with your attire, size of the pieces (one might be two big to be matched with a small piece), and color as well.


Chokers and Maxi-collars are still widely accepted. 

 


These are designs that have become a must when choosing pieces for your personal collection.  One must have at least a piece of this to be paired with low cut dresses and shirts. Of course, if you are heavy set, wearing a choker might call too much attention to your neck. Chokers would be ideal for people with slight frames.


Ethnic and Gothic designs are in.

Cleaning "Summer Jewelry" for Storage


Jewelry is considered an important accessory of women.  Some even consider it as an investment.  This is why one should take care of it when you have some in your possession.  When it is well taken care of, it can last for several seasons as most jewelry designs last long.  If you bought jewelry for investment, then it is important to know how to be able to clean the pieces.  This is to make sure that when you put your pieces in a necklace display stand, those that are interested to purchase it would not have any second thoughts about purchasing it.  It is also important to clean it before storing away so that it will last long enough to be considered a family heirloom. 


Summer jewelry is much harder to preserve, especially if what you have are made of natural materials like wood and paper beads.  Moisture and humidity play an important role in preserving these kinds of jewelry pieces.  But then, since it would already be fall in a few short weeks, you would need to keep them for now.

Since this is an essential part of your summer wardrobe, these pieces should be given enough care to make them last for the next summer. You wouldn’t want to keep on buying jewelry for particular seasons every time because you keep on damaging the ones you have, right? So, here are suggestions for cleaning your pieces before setting them aside for safe keeping:

It is important to note the kind of material your pieces are made of.

This is an important step in cleaning your jewelry because your cleaning material or solution will depend on what kind of material your jewelry piece is made of. There is no single cleaning material that would be useable for all pieces of jewelry. Using one cleaning material for all pieces will definitely damage some pieces. 

Know the right cleaning material for your jewelry.

Gemstones can be simply washed with a water and soap solution while natural jewelry should only be wiped clean.  Make sure that they are completely dry before storing them away.  There are items in your pantry that can be used to clean jewelry like antacid tablets, toothpaste and baking soda.  However, avoid those with harsh cleaning materials like ammonia and bleach as this can damage your jewelry instead of cleaning it.  This is especially true with pieces that contain wood and other organic materials.

Prepare your storage.

This is imperative as this also makes sure that your jewelry will last long. You can place it in a necklace display however, it is best to have a case where you can organize your jewelry when storing it away. Of course, with all your summer jewelry pieces clean already, you also need to make sure that the displays and containers are clean. Would you really want to put your clean necklaces in unkempt containers? You should know how to clean your storage displays and containers first. After that, you can place your pieces in them.

Tips on Matching Necklaces with Other Jewelry

Jewelry is one item that every woman must have.  It helps complete the look that one wants to achieve.  The great thing about this is that there are a lot of choices for jewelry nowadays.  Some may be expensive, especially those that are found in the necklace display section of the jewelry store. But there are also jewelry items that are affordable and these are what we call fashion jewelry.    Because of this, it is now easy to mix and match jewelry pieces.  It does not require that you wear the same jewelry set because variety will give you more options. 


 Shops that sell jewelry abound everywhere.  You can see all types of jewelry on necklace display, ring cases and bracelet display cases.  You can choose from different kinds of jewelry from precious metals and stones to native jewelry.  With the many choices that one has, you have the freedom to choose what pieces to wear, with which outfit, and how to wear these jewelry pieces. 

Here are tips on how to match your jewelry pieces to look great.  This way, you can properly wear them to your advantage.  For sure, you will be a head turner. 

  • Go with those that have similar colors.

It is best to match jewelry whose stones have the same color scheme.  They may not be of the same kind but the important thing is that the colors match.  This also makes it easier to match with the other accessories like shoes, bags and belt as well as the color of the dress itself.  So, for example, if you want to wear an attention-grabbing fiery red gown, you should be more dazzling with a matching ruby stud earrings and a ruby pendant in a diamond necklace.

  • Choose which jewelry to showcase.

This should be kept in mind when matching jewelry.  It is best to choose which one that you would want to be seen.  If you have a necklace that is worth a second look, then it is best to pair it with a pair of simple stud earrings so that you would not look burdened by all the jewelry that you are wearing.  You just cannot have a huge necklace and also earrings and a bracelet that measures 5 inches. Anyone would think your entire getup would be too busy if everything is too big, and you might be “under-accessorizing” if you are wearing pieces that are too small.

  • Don’t be afraid to stack up.

Wearing different kinds of necklace is now trending. You can match different kinds of necklaces but of almost the same length.  This creates a bohemian feel. Like how Indian women love filling their forearms and stacking up on bangles, you can also do this with necklaces. Just make sure you are wearing string necklaces of various lengths, and not chunky necklaces that would look tacky if stacked up on each other. Don’t be afraid to mix and match colors as well. That’s gonna be some boho chic fashion!

Securing Jewelry Displays the Easy and Fashionable Way

Selling jewelry is a serious business endeavor that should be practiced with care.  Extreme caution should be exercised, especially for those who travel a lot with their jewelry items in tow.  Some jewelry stores are already getting people to do this kind of business on their behalf despite the risk because this is a great way of reaching out to more customers and getting more sales.  Nowadays, it is not enough for storeowners to just sit and wait until someone walks in the store and check out the jewelry items on sale.  Being proactive is the way to go if one wants to succeed in this kind of business, or in any kind of endeavor for that matter.

Since one cannot be too sure about safety, people who bring out jewelry out of the store should exercise extreme caution.  There are a lot of incidents involving robbery and mugging and people bringing a lot of expensive jewelry on the street are an easy target for hardened criminals.

One way of preventing these scary incidences from happening is to get a secure luggage or bag to carry jewelry pieces. Of course, it is best to use just a regular looking bag so as not to attract a lot of attention when walking down the street or bringing valuable pieces out of the car.  But of course, the jewelry pieces should still be placed in a proper jewelry display case so that the products will be good to go once they are removed out of the bag.

There are different kinds of cases for different kinds of jewelry. Watches and chains are best stored in jewelry roll packs. For smaller pieces like rings and earrings, a leatherette earring display folder can be used.  This folder is a nifty thing to have because it is very presentable to clients. For those who prefer a single bag to use for carrying all jewelry pieces, a carrying case with trolley is the best thing to have. There are compartments and separate cases for holding different pieces and types of jewelry.  These bags are secure because they look like regular bags and don’t give other people any idea that thousands, or even millions of dollars worth of jewelry is stored inside.

For a more professional look, hard shell cases and jewelry attaché cases are the best items to hold these pieces. Hard cases can have either a leather finish or an aluminum case.  Both have a retractable handle so that moving the case around will be easier. These are lightweight so the carrier won’t hurt his or her back lugging them around.  Of course, these hard cases already include several display trays for easy organization and display of the items.

All these items are available at Nile Corporation, necklace display dolls and busts, earring holders and fancy ring displays.  We have years of experience as an online merchant with a vast array of items related to jewelry displays, jewelry tools, and other supplies.  We offer convenient shipping of the items so you can order them and have them shipped anywhere in the country.
