How to prepare your jewelry stand and what to take with you.

In this post I'd like to share some of the ideas that had helped me to organize my jewelry stand. First of all, I needed to select the items I was going to sell, so I chose jewelry pieces that are different in style and price range. Second, I didn't want my jewelry to simply lie on a table, therefore I decided to take some of the boxes, earring display stands and necklace displays to arrange the pieces.
Also, I asked my friend to assist me and it was such a great idea. She helped me with placing the jewelry, talking to customers when I was busy, and distributing business cards.

Other things to keep in mind:
-I put some chocolates on my table to attract customers and talked to them while they were unwrapping the sweets
- Taking some tools with me was very useful, because one of the customers wanted to shorten a necklace and I was able to fix it quickly
- Mirror. Of course, you want to see how earrings or necklace look on you.
- A small notebook to make notes. Some of the customers wanted to customize pieces so I wouldn't remember all the details without my notebook.

It was my first time selling jewelry using a stand and I was a bit nervous at the beginning, but later it was just awesome to communicate with a lot of interesting people and see that they like what I have created.

My jewelry stand.


One of my favorite hobbies besides making jewelry is dancing salsa. I love the music and the rythm, and the movement of the dance. The best place to learn and enjoy salsa in South Beach is place called Salsa Mia. It is located at 501 Lincoln Road Miami Beach, FL 33139 This is their website www.salsamia.com
So if you come to visit South Florida and want to learn more about Latin culture in general and Cuban salsa in particular come to Salsa Mia.

Well one of the days I brought my jewelry there. It was my first experience organizing a jewelry stand, but I think everything went just great. It was fun interacting with customers telling them about my jewelry. One of my friends was helping me and I have to tell it's a really big deal when someone
can help you.
