Making Large Jewelry Tags Fun and Eye Catching

A gallery that sells my jewelry recently asked all of the 2D artists to change their tagging system to add more information.

The tag had to be large enough to include

• my full name


• my inventory code


• the materials


• the price


• the ring size.

I was just getting ready to put some rings in the gallery and found myself thinking that this was going to be problematic for me. I could not imagine how I could add a tag big enough for all of THAT to a ring without it looking . . . just . . . tacky.

I had to put some thought into it and I am glad to say that in the end I manged to find a solution that made for a charming presentation.

Beautiful little leaf tags!

All of the required information fits perfectly on the back side of the leaf.

Customers can still try on the ring without having to worry about tearing the tag because it is quality cardstock.

The jewelers in this gallery also share earring racks and I have to say that once I put up a couple of my earrings they totally dominated the racks visually.

All of the other jewelers' cards are muted colors or the standard black earring card. My earring cards are fun and eye catching.

I retagged half of my stuff in the gallery yesterday and when I stepped back to take it all in I just loved how they drew the eye right to my work. I'm so glad I was forced to redo my tags. :)

I just love the look of the leaf tags . . . and now I'm changing all of my other tags out to match - even changing my earring cards out to match!
