Simple sterling silver necklaces make great gift options for your customers, without much effort from you. Simply adding charms to a necklace chain or earrings can help build out your inventory for seasonal surges.
Managing jewelry inventory can be a challenge. Seasonal demand spikes can leave jewelry artists scrambling to produce work ahead of holidays or show events. Easy upsell items can help to fill in your selection gaps in a pinch. You may also find that they fill an important entry-level price point in your collection.
Why Add Charm Jewelry to Your Collection?
Charm jewelry is often a popular gift item for friends and loved ones, as well as for self-purchasers. It makes a great gift for a holiday or special occasion as well as the perfect souvenir in a tourist area. It’s simple to add a charm that represents your area or a local attraction. Or if you’re able to personalize the jewelry it will become a treasured reminder of your buyer’s trip.
It's not expensive
Adding silver charm jewelry to your collection doesn’t have to be expensive! Sterling silver is a high-quality precious metal that is relatively inexpensive. It’s also a popular choice for customers for a variety of reasons:
- Unlike other inexpensive options, sterling silver is hypoallergenic
- It’s durable enough for daily wear
- Less likely to go out of style quickly
- It’s easy to care for
- Perceived value is higher compared to costume jewelry
Since silver is a high-quality option, customers will know they can trust your item’s reputation when they come back. It has also been a popular margin-booster in recent years for business owners, with margins well into 40% on a consistent basis.
Another option to consider is gold-filled charms. Gold-filled gives you the look and beauty of gold at a much lower price. It's also more durable than gold-plated due to its construction.
It makes a great upsell item
Simple charm jewelry is an ideal upsell item for your jewelry business. With a nice display rack, it can easily be placed near the POS system for all customers to easily see. Or, create a charm jewelry section on your website dedicated to these pieces. If you sell clothing, try showing the pieces of jewelry off with corresponding outfits on mannequins or tabletop displays. Jewelry also makes a great special offer item. For example, “Spend $75 and get a necklace for $15.” The possibilities are endless. And since you’re putting the jewelry together yourself, you can make the perfect pieces for your target customers.
It's a low price point piece
If you set up your booth at a variety of shows, include charm jewelry as a low price option to attract customers as they walk by. Ideally your jewelry collection will have a variety of price points and charm jewelry is a great option for a low price point piece. New customers may want to experiment with a small piece before spending the money on one of your high-dollar items. Depending on the items and your pricing structure, these items can be an easy $25-$40 item that customers can pick up.
It's a low production-time piece
Since making charm jewelry is simple, it doesn't take long to churn out a lot of pieces. When you need a break from your complex jewelry making, slip a few charms on some chain and you're set! In no time at all you'll boost your available inventory and be able to make a decent profit off of each piece.
