I have experimented with a lot of different displays about jewelry cards, and some have been successful while others have not. With all I have tried, I keep going back to my favorite - the laminated paper jewelry card. I like the look of the stand up cardboard bust with each pendant displayed separately. But the problem with these busts is they are expensive and extremely hard to keep looking good.

To create them, I make a display jewelry cards that look very much like a business card with some minor changes. I use a card stock (available at any office supply) to make them. I like to put my business name and web site address on the cards, along with a very simple graphic (you don't want to distract from the jewelry piece). I make the cards long enough to fold into little tents that will stand on a shelf or table.

I print these jewelry cards, and then laminate them with standard lamination sheets (also available at any office supply), which helps keep the cards rigid and clean. After laminating, I punch 2 holes in the card to put a tie through to hang a pendant on. I have also discovered that once the jewelry display cards are laminated, I can write the name of the stone along with the price on the card with a wet erase pen.
