What’s better than a REALLY nice piece of crafted and well-designed jewelry?? Well, I guess the packaging it gets put in. If any at all. Most or a lot of jewelry pieces don’t – but, if it is going to someone specifically, is part of a business, a wedding ring, or you have a jewelry business, chances are it might meet some fancy wrap. Recently we did a short post about jewelry packaging, and since we are way behind on posting on Ganoksin, we figured we’d post about it here. Hopefully, we’ll add more info. Obviously, some jewelry art is just above and beyond any type of packaging. But, the RIGHT custom packaging might give it that extra push of making it even more special. In truth, if you are in business, and you deal with quantities or a whole jewelry line regularly, the proper thing to do is make sure you DESIGN the RIGHT jewelry packaging to FIT your business and your LINE. Part of the way to do this is through BRANDING. Good packaging design and going back a big step, good logo/branding design is essential to a jewelry business. But that is a later topic. Often we are asked if we sell jewelry packaging. We don’t. There are many who do or just sell packaging exclusively. What we did find out though is that it is possible to MAKE your OWN if you have some time for those one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces, or even a series of them. We were actually quite amazed at some of the ideas and different options.
So without further a dew, here are some packaging ideas for homemade jewelry:
