A New Treasury to Ring in the New Year

Jewelry Packaging Ideas

I'm not happy with my packaging for my jewelry.  It seems like as a graphic designer, I should come up with something different and innovative, but different and reflecting my skills as a desinger.  I've been doing some brainstorming, and here are some different ideas of others' jewelry packaging.

Here's an idea using tins

 

recycled boxes, ribbons, and ink stamps

 

recycled maps

 

Pillow boxes and ribbon

 

Another rounded box

This looks different and modern!

And of course, the official standard of jewelry packaging
