Gemstone Treasure Chest - An Essential Part of My Jewelry Display

by Rena Klingenberg

Gemstone Treasure Chest

Gemstone Treasure Chest

This treasure chest filled with tumbled gemstones is responsible for a lot of traffic to my jewelry booth. I offer everyone a free stone of their choosing, and people of all ages just LOVE to sift and dig through the chest to find the prettiest rock.

My original intention when I started using this treasure chest was to give children something to play with (other than my jewelry display!) while their adults shopped at my booth.

It does work very well for this purpose - especially if you have a small plastic cup in with the rocks, so children can dig and pour endless rock piles inside the chest.

But I've been surprised at how many adults - including grandparents - get right down on the floor and start digging for a rock when I invite them to choose their favorite!

It's a good conversation-starter, and it builds goodwill with passersby - often turning them into customers.

One tip if you order tumbled stones and have them shipped to you:

They are quite heavy, so the shorter the distance between your stone source and your house, the less expensive shipping will be.

treasure trove

I love this idea. I have found myself happily rummaging through just such a display. I still have the stones in a dish on my dresser.
How about a 2 ton treasure chest?

I'm a new subscriber to your newsletter and just came across this article. The success of your treasure chest in attracting customers reminded me of a store in Seattle called the Scratch Patch. They have not much else but a huge number of tumbled rocks, poured out on the floor for people of all ages to play in, sift through, and pick out stones. Here's their website:

Just goes to show you, you never know when a crazy-sounding business idea will pay off!

I enjoy the publication! It's very inspiring.
