Jewelry Stores and Labels
By: KC - 11/11/2014

Lets talk about Jewelry Stores and the labels/tags they use. I would recommend using PC America Cash Register Express (CRE) for the software and the label creation software that is an add on feature to the Point-of-Sale software. Some things I will be going over is Serializing items, PLU's, SKU's, and what kind of tags I found most useful when I worked in a jewelry store.

Some of the best ways to keep track of your inventory, whether it is with jewelry or another type of merchandise, is to use serial numbers. With diamonds, they usually only  laser engrave a serial number on nicer quality and diamonds over 1/3ct because it is an expensive process in itself. I know Ikuma diamonds, which are mined in Canada, only laser engraved with the serial number and a maple leaf to show it was mined in Canada. They are also graded and certified by the AGS, which is a prestigious group to be a part of, less than 5% of all jewelers in the world are a part of the AGS. They have at least 3 people grade each diamond and they all have to agree and grade it the same before it passes. Serializing these diamonds can show the color, clarity, carat weight and with the Ikuma, it can relate to which of the 3 mines it was actually found in.

The PLU will be the item number and will be able to verify the diamond, the label/ticket with the price as well. The SKU can show the classification (earring, ring, pendant etc), the metal type and the type of stone it is.

From personal experience, I prefer the jewelry tags without flaps, especially for larger rings because they fit better and don't effect the size or fitting of the ring as much.
