Handmade jewelry tells your mom that you took the time to go out and find something really special, and also tells your mother that you think of her as one of a kind as well. A one of a kind piece of handcrafted jewelry for a one of a kind mother is a great way to make your feelings and thoughts known. 

When you head out to look for handmade bracelets, unique earrings or handcrafted necklaces you need to put a bit of thought into it before you start searching. Think about your mother’s favorite animal, beautiful horse jewelry, hummingbird jewelry maybe wolf jewelry would make her very happy. We all love animals, so it is a great way to personalize your unique Mothers Day gift for her. You mom will show her favorite animal every time when she wears the butterfly jewelry or dragonfly jewelry. 

Some ladies only wear jewelry at work, while others will switch out sets when they come home or head out for the evening. Take a moment to notice the unique jewelry that your mother likes to wear so you can better choose a style that she would love. Keep in mind that heavy earrings will hurt her ears and she might be sensitive to ear wires with nickel in them. Always look for handmade earrings with hypo-allergenic ear wires and light weight to be on the safe side. It would also be easier for your mom if you find handmade jewelry that does not require any special maintenance, so she does not need to polish them. 

Think about whether the handcrafted jewelry you select should have any meaning. For instance, most people who love jewelry will often prefer copper, gold or silver. Copper jewelry has a lovely, radiant, glowing sheen. The earth tones and natural beauty will make it easier to match with all her outfit. Copper jewelry can be worn with casual clothing or makes an elegant evening fashion accessory. They are also much more reasonably priced so they would not break your wallet. Because of this you can buy your mother a jewelry set of handmade bracelets with handmade earrings or handcrafted necklace with a pair of handmade earrings. 

Start early and take your time to look around and find the perfect handmade jewelry gift that is sure to make your mom happy on her special day! Make this Mothers Day the best day ever for her.

1. Touch the surface of metal jewelry as little as possible. Silver and copper jewelry will quickly discolor from the oils, sweat and other impurities on your hands,

2. Do not wear handmade jewelry to wash the dishes, while washing your hands or showering. The detergents that we use everyday will harm your favorite handmade bracelets and handcrafted rings.

3. Avoid using hand sanitizers while wearing handmade rings. Even the best protective finishes cannot withstand repeated use of hand sanitizers.

4. Whenever possible buy handcrafted jewelry that has protective coatings. It is easier to prevent tarnishing than to remove tarnish.

5. Store your silver and copper handmade jewelry in a tarnish-free cloth or in an airtight plastic bag. Exposure to air and humidity will increase the chances of tarnishing.

6. Avoid the build up of hairspray on handmade earrings and handcrafted barrettes or hair clips. Put your earrings and hair clips on last.

7. Do not wear handmade jewelry when participating in sports, sunbathing or swimming. Water and excessive sun can discolor your handmade jewelry.

8. Take care not to scratch, bend or damage your jewelry. Choose your jewelry wisely for the occasion. If you are gardening or cleaning where you will be in contact with water or chemicals try to pick jewelry that will not be damaged.

Keep in mind that handmade jewelry is fragile and not usually meant to endure the beating that it sometimes receives. Taking special steps to prevent damage to your handcrafted jewelry pieces will ensure that you always look great wearing your favorite handmade earrings, bracelets and necklaces.

With over 25 years of experience selling handcrafted jewelry at craft fairs there are many important marketing techniques that many people overlook. These are simple ways to increase your sales of handmade earrings and unique bracelets that are only learned from years of participating in shows. When displaying your handmade jewelry pay special attention to what catches the eye of your customers, where they enter the booth and when they leave your booth. Use these clues to know which areas need improvement.

The set up of your booth should be welcoming and open. Many exhibitors make the mistake of putting a table at the front of their booth. Try setting up tables in a u-shape so that people can come into your booth. Booth space is small so you must use every inch wisely.

Always welcome people into your booth, being friendly and sincere will increase your sales. People come to craft shows to meet the artist so each handmade jewelry piece has special meaning when they have talked to the artist.

Lighting is very important. Craft shows are known for poor lighting so you must use extra lights to make sure your booth stands out from the crowd. Well placed lighting can make an incredible difference in your sales.

Group your items so people looking for certain designs will easily find the matching handmade bracelets and handcrafted necklaces for the handmade earrings they have chosen.

 Make sure to have a mirror close at hand. Ladies love to hold up the handmade earrings close to their ears to see how they will look when worn.

 Along the same lines, wear your own handmade jewelry. People love to see how the handmade earrings and handmade bracelets look like on. Many times sales are made of the same items you are wearing at the craft show.

 If there is a break in the traffic, have some work ready. Nothing attracts people to your booth then seeing you making the handcrafted jewelry right there. Carry a box with some tools, supplies as well as handmade earrings and handmade bracelets pieces. People who stop to watch will soon become customers.

 This tip goes without saying but it is included only to be complete. Do not ever read a book or newspaper at a craft show. There is nothing worse or will make a customer run away faster than reading a book.

Every little detail counts when displaying handmade jewelry at craft shows. Have your handcrafted jewelry sales been less than you hoped? Try a few of these tips and see the dramatic effects small details can have on handcrafted jewelry and handmade gifts sales.
