01 · TIMING

Holiday is already live

November deliveries are being written now.

02 · COLOR

Warm, then deeper

Cream, mocha, tortoise and marble hold at the counter, now joined by holiday jewel tones; smoky quartz, obsidian and deep pearl lead the designer case, with polished crystal and pavé sparkle arriving early at both ends for Holiday.

03 · SELLING

Show it on a person

Stores, not brands, drive the social buzz, and earrings sell from styled outfit photos.

Set it up this week

Twelve display ideas

Each one works with what's already on your floor.

At the counter

Gift, boutique and resort
1

One family, one bust

Put a necklace, earring and bracelet from one family on one bust, under one name card.

2

Price the stack

Pre-build three-bracelet stacks on a single card and price the stack, not the piece.

3

A row of colors

Show one necklace style in a row of colors instead of scattering the colors around the store.

4

One theme per face

Give each display face, case or card strip one theme: sea life, then holiday.

5

Earrings at the register

Hang three-pair seasonal earring cards at the register as an impulse add-on.

6

Post it on a person

Post new arrivals on a person, and hang bag charms and twillies beside the register.

At the designer case

Specialty, designer and department stores
7

One stone, three ways

Put one stone in three forms together: a cuff, a ring and an earring.

8

Sell the layered look

Sell a named stack of three necklaces as one look, on one bust.

9

A wear-it-today tray

Keep a small tray of in-stock favorites at the register.

10

Name a travel story

Put a place on a small card and group its earrings and necklaces under it.

11

Add a charm bar

Set out loose charms at an impulse price next to plain chains.

12

Show earrings with an outfit

Show earrings on a styled outfit card or photo, not alone on a bar.
