A booth that fits on the table and in the car
When you sell your own creations, the booth is your first showcase. It goes up in the morning and comes down at night, often alone, with a car or a bag. A display that is too big for the table, too heavy to carry or that gets scratched in the bag spoils the day. A successful booth therefore rests on three ideas.
- Height : pieces on several levels so the eye moves around, without hiding the jewelry at the back.
- A consistent look : one material, one shade, so that it is your jewelry people look at.
- Easy transport : elements that pack flat or fit in a carrying case.
The booth calculator
Enter the number of tables, their dimensions, the free height above if it is limited, the space to set aside for the cash box or cards, then the types of jewelry you show. The tool arranges the stands in rows, the tallest at the back and the lowest in front, and gives you the list.
Build my booth
Top view, front view, remaining free space and list of items.
The tool rules out models that are deeper than the table or taller than the free space, and tells you why. It also calculates the total weight from the product pages that list it, stating how many pieces have no weight listed: you are never given an invented weight.
A starting point in two questions
If you do not know where to start, the quiz asks for the length of your table and the jewelry you show, then launches the calculator pre-filled.
Start my booth
Table length, types of jewelry: the calculator then starts.
The elements of a maker's booth
Busts
To put a necklace in context and add volume. See busts.
Trays
To lay out rings, bracelets and pendants in rows. See trays.
Carrying cases
They protect your pieces and double as storage between two markets. See carrying cases.
Wooden displays
A warm material that goes well with natural creations. See wooden displays.
Rotating displays
To show many pieces in a small width. See rotating displays.
Three ways to build a booth
Depending on the space and the range you show, three approaches stand out. The calculator works them out from the table you entered.
| Approach | Principle | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| One type only | The whole table for one type of jewelry, on several heights | A specialist maker: rings, or necklaces |
| Two types | The table shared equally between two families | A short range, a simple booth |
| Complete booth | All types, in rows that complement each other | A trade show, a wider range |
Quantities are not set in advance: they follow from the space available on your table.
Staging, photos and online sales
A well-presented booth is easier to photograph, and the same stands work for your online shop. Choose neutral backgrounds and soft light, and keep the same material from one shot to the next. Our guides explain the method: How to photograph jewelry well and How to display your jewelry for Instagram photos.
Before your first trade show, read How to build a jewelry booth that attracts customers, The 5 mistakes to avoid when displaying your jewelry at a market or trade show and Setting up a jewelry booth for a professional trade show.
Your first market: the checklist to prepare
A first market or first trade show always raises the same worries: will I be able to set everything up, carry everything, pack everything away? Here is how to prepare calmly.
- Measure the table provided and note its length, depth and the space for the cash box.
- List the families of jewelry you show: necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets.
- Choose one material and one shade for the stands, and stick to it.
- Build the booth with the calculator, then check the weight of the pieces that list it.
- Plan a carrying case for fragile pieces and small stands.
- Do a dry run at home, taking the time it needs.
- Photograph the booth for your social networks, before opening.
The dry run is the step people skip most often, and the one that reassures most: you find out what is missing before you are on site.
Height, depth, eye line: the three rules of a readable booth
Stagger the heights
The tallest pieces go at the back, the lowest in front: nothing hides anything. Busts and tiered displays add relief without taking up room.
Respect the depth of the table
A stand deeper than the table sticks out and tips over easily. The calculator rules out these models and tells you why.
Let it breathe
A booth that is too crowded tires the eye. Better to have fewer, well-spaced pieces, and a rotation during the day.
The guide Setting up a professional jewelry booth explains these principles for a larger trade show.
