At Stuller, we are looking forward to spending this month celebrating love with our customers. Another busy holiday for jewelers, Valentine’s Day provides excellent opportunities for you to help your customers find unique pieces that help them express themselves or create a meaningful gift for someone special. The best pieces are those that are one-of-a-kind, but the process to make unique pieces does not have to be time consuming or complex.
Finding Inspiration is a campaign to inspire the designer in every jeweler. Using findings that you see every day, you can create the most beautiful pieces that are personalized for your customer. Have you heard of our petite pavé dangle collection? This assortment of dangles showcases personalization with letters and numbers, family and friendship with birthstones, and individuality with a variety of symbols. Combine these components with earring backs, hoops, wires, chains, and other findings to create a piece they’ll never forget.
Need help finding your own inspiration? We have you covered with four different ways to use petite pave dangles to create unique pieces of personalized jewelry.
Upgrade a Simple Hoop
A simple endless hoop (625) is a beautiful statement by itself but take it a step further by adding a personal flare. Easily slip on a dangle, such as an adorable bee dangle (2000939), and you have a new statement that tells a story. Be sure to show your customers how effortless it is to slide on new dangles to change up the look.
Create a Unique Drop Earring
As seen in our Valentine’s Day Gift Guide, you can add any petite pave dangle – such as a simple heart dangle (2000942) – to an ear wire (2000701) and suddenly you have a distinct new drop earring customized just for your customer.
Tell a Story With a Personalized Necklace
Using a split ring (OV2), switch out letter dangles (2000931) with ease on our new threader chain (CH1104) to make the perfect customized necklace. With a set of dangles, customers can tell a new story every day by exchanging the dangle on the chain.
Think Outside the Box With Stopper Beads
Another way to easily add dangles to a chain is by getting creative and using our new stopper beads as a bail (2001147). They keep things fresh and make individual necklace. For example, combine a birthstone dangle (2000898), a letter dangle (2000931), and a lotus flower dangle (2001057) to create an intriguing and personal story with meaning for your customer.
Save the Day With Petite Pavé
As you can see, there are endless options when creating simple, yet meaningful pieces with the petite pave dangle collection. Leveraging this collection is a great way to get repeat customers that are looking to expand their own assortment as well as helps you build a relationship with your customer. Make sure to show your customer just how easy it is to create multiple looks with just a few components and impress them with your sense of style.
