Fork Easels, So Many Uses

Leave it to Shari Cabra, jewelry artist to create such a clever display item out of a piece of vintage silverware. The Fork Easel is an ingenious item for:

- Presenting a stack of business cards on your desk
- Holding a recipe card when you’re cooking
- Displaying a dinner place card at formal dinners
- Resting a small photo of someone special
- Leaving a note for your spouse or child

Store owners think about using these ideas the next time you put together a new display of Created by Shari jewelry items. I know when your customers see all the neat uses for the Fork Easel they’ll fly off the shelves.

Keep checking back here for Shari’s catalogue, a handy reference guide to use when re-ordering.

Remember you can always call, fax or email me for re-orders and current wholesale information on all the other companies I represent.

Mix and Match

It’s so easy to mix and match pieces of jewelry from Created by Shari.
Because this jewelry is made from a variety of silverware patterns, ladies can accessorize their clothing with a ring in one pattern and a slide in another.

That’s the beauty of this jewelry line. Every piece easily compliments another.
In the picture above you can see it’s easy to wear a ring decorated in a daffodil pattern and a slide embellished in a Victorian pattern -and the sleek beauty of silver ties it all together.

Encourage your customers to not just buy one piece but several. Show them how to mix and match these jewelry pieces for a complete look when they accessorize.
