Learn to Advise Your Clients on the Best Jewelry Colors to Go With Their Outfits

Color is a part of life. It is everywhere and we use it for everything and in everything, and it is especially important in clothes and accessories. A well-planned outfit will show a combination, or even contrast, of well-chosen pieces and colors that strengthen an image and a personality. Color combination between an outfit and its accessories is an art, one that you must master if you own or are planning to start a wholesale jewelry business venture, thus, here you will find a little about color theory applied to fashion and tips on how to get the best out of it. Primary colors are red, blue and yellow; any other color results from the combination of these, as mixed in different amounts. The secondary colors, purple, orange and green, are created from the combination of any two primary ones in the same amount. Primary and secondary colors provide the complementary colors, which are the ones that are directly opposite to each other on the color wheel. The complement for red is green, for yellow is purple, and for blue is orange. Talk about contrast! This is the definitely the way to go if you want to stand out. Combine a yellow suit with purple jewelry to appear sophisticated and even playful, depending on the tones. However, color is not only about appearing flashy, there are ways to use color and still be subtle. On the color wheel, the two colors that are next to the main color’s complement form the triad colors, which guide the way for selecting the jewelry and accessories to match. That same yellow suit when combined with silver, or blue, or even red will make the person look elegant and professional. For the always-necessary gray business suit, for example, you first must establish if the gray is cool or warm. It will look more red or yellow if it is warm, or bluer, if it is cool. If it were cool, the complement of blue is orange, which triad is red and yellow. Based on this, gold will go great with that suit. As a general rule, follow these steps every time you want to complement an outfit with the perfect jewelry to make a statement: - Establish the base color of the clothes; it will be the main color. - Find the complement for that color using the color wheel. To stand out, use that complement. - Take a look at the triad next to the complement; these are the colors you will most likely use to accessorize. You can use both colors or just one, in its different tones. If you follow these steps, any outfit will make the person stand out in the right way.

How to Host a Successful Jewelry Open House

A jewelry open house is a very powerful way to get feedback from your potential customers without spending a bundle. This feedback will not only be in regards to the jewelry pieces, but also about your displays, presentation and packaging, which are key elements to guarantee your success in different shows and private activities. Of course an impressive open house must look impressive, which may be a challenge when your budget is kind of limited, but never a problem when your creative forces come to the rescue. - The Internet allows you to make and send inexpensive and classy invitations with your logo and all the necessary information. You can send them to hundreds of people at virtually no cost. - You can easily learn to take your own jewelry photos or you can ask your jewelry wholesaler for some quality materials. You can create unique and special price tags using office supplies and a little creativity. - As for the business cards, you can design them yourself using Photoshop or any other program available online, and you can get them printed through a web printing company that can offer you a great price. - To present the jewelry pieces, search the local dollar stores and warehouses to find pieces of fabric to use as tablecloths, for flower arrangements, and paper products. You can also get some ribbons or laces to hang some of your jewelry in a colorful and romantic way. - Do not be shy, borrow tables, fabric, or other stuff from friends, and use your own stuff as well. You may have beautiful frames, platters, bowls or vases that can work as a great complement for your jewelry. - Ask your friends for help in many different ways. Maybe someone is starting their own business as a pastry chef, for example, and your event will be a great way for them to advertise. At the same time, you are offering your potential clients a delicious complement to your beautiful pieces. - Be open to sincere thoughts and opinions that enrich your business, since you may also meet important contacts, like photographers, designers and boutique owners, who are looking for great wholesale jewelry and are always on the look out for new opportunities and projects.
