From time immemorial, IT has attracted desperate robbers and noble ladies, the poor and the rich. In pursuit of IT, warlike crusaders equipped campaigns and, setting off for the gold mines, risky prospectors collected their modest belongings. For its sake, nations have fought and FOR ITS SAKE, they made peace.

A person's genuine craving for gold jewelry is not only a tribute to fashion, but also a consequence of the fact that gold is an organically related metal to our body. Scientists have long discovered that the average person's body contains up to 10 mg of this noble metal in dissolved form. It is distributed throughout the body and is found in the blood, soft tissues, and skeletal system.

The key to any well-created image is well-chosen jewelry. But in order for the purchased jewelry to fit perfectly, you need to know how to choose it, and this is always a difficult task not only for the buyer, but also for the seller, who must offer exactly what is suitable for a specific occasion and for a specific person.

From personal experience, probably every woman can share a story about how, before some holiday or celebration, she was looking for jewelry to match her outfit. Creating an image is not an easy task, and good jewelry is not cheap, so it is better not to make a mistake here.

 Nowadays, gold jewelry has become affordable. In every city you can find many jewelry stores that offer gold and silver jewelry of varying quality. The price of a piece is primarily determined by several factors: the weight of the jewelry, the metal it's made of, and the quality of the stonework.

Jewelry helps create a complete look and is also a sought-after gift. So how do you choose the right piece? It's a conundrum for both the buyer and the seller. The buyer needs to make a choice, while the sales associate is interested in selling as much as possible. To ensure high-quality sales, technical assistants come to the aid of sales consultants and help provide high-quality service to even the most demanding customers.

Jewelry stores today are modern retail outlets equipped with all the necessary equipment.

Retail equipment.

Accounting for jewelry is currently one of the most difficult in modern wholesale and retail trade. This is largely due to the fact that each piece of jewelry is unique. Even within the same article, products have different weight, size, carat weight of stones, color, etc. .

The following equipment is most often used in the jewelry trade:

-  Barcode scanners.

-  Receipt printers.

-  Label printers.

-  Data collection terminals.

-  Electronic scales.

Barcode scanners

Devices that read product information in the form of a barcode and transfer it to a computer, POS terminal, or cash register are the most commonly used retail equipment. Since each item in the jewelry trade is unique, it is quite difficult to visually identify a specific product. To optimize work, increase the speed of document issuance, inventory and elimination of misclassification, a barcode scanner is indispensable equipment.

How to choose the right barcode scanner?

As a rule, in this field of activity, hand-held LED or laser scanners are used. The scanning area is presented in the form of a single strip, and in order to read the barcode, it is necessary to completely “capture” all of its lines with this strip.

Multi-plane scanners significantly increase the speed of work. The scanning area of ​​omnidirectional scanners is a grid that reads the barcode regardless of its position relative to the scanner – vertically or horizontally. Due to this, omnidirectional scanners significantly increase the speed of operation.

Label printers..

If all the goods are marked by the manufacturer, then there will be no problems when working with the scanner, but if not, then you will need a label printer. The main function of a label printer is to print barcodes or graphics and text on self-adhesive labels and a number of other materials. Labels with the printed information are affixed to jewelry packaging or the product itself. The printed information is then read using a barcode scanner or a data collection terminal.

 Thermal or thermal transfer label printers?

 When operating in thermal printing mode, the printer transfers the image to the label by directly heating it (special thermal labels are required). The printer operates on a similar principle to a fax machine. The service life of thermal labels is up to 6 months (exposure to direct sunlight and high temperatures reduces the service life of the label). In thermal transfer printing mode, the printer heats a special ink ribbon, and the ink from it is transferred to the label. The service life of such a label is much longer and it withstands environmental influences (including water) better.

Features for the jewelry trade.

There are some specific features when choosing a printer for printing labels for jewelry. The main one is the label size. Usually, labels are used the size of the jewelry tag on the product. Using large labels is not advisable, as this spoils the aesthetic perception of the jewelry. That is, your printer must be able to print small-sized labels. Usually, in addition to the barcode, the label displays a description of the product, its name, article number, weight, supplier, country of origin, price, etc. That is, your printer must clearly print small font. And also, printing labels on jewelry usually does not require printers with high label printing speed, since the specifics of gluing products involve printing one unique label per item.
