How to Pick Music for a Jewelry Party

Music is key at any party, but when you're throwing a jewelry party, choosing the right tunes may mean the difference between a fun evening where the credit card slips go flying and an awkward get-together where the guests leave early. Music puts party guests at ease making them feel like they're there to be entertained, not to open up their wallets. Here's how to pick music for a jewelry party.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Consider the style of your jewelry and try to match the music to it. Earthy, beaded pieces made from natural elements call for New Age tunes, harp recordings or even the sounds of waterfalls and crickets playing in the background. Wild, eclectic pieces would be better matched with funk or jazz.
2. Choose classical music if you're selling expensive items. The classics are often played in high-end retail establishments and have an upscale feel. Guests may be less surprised by a hefty price tag if the music is Vivaldi rather than Gwen Stefani.
3. Make sure you have enough tunes to keep playing music the whole night. Typically, jewelry home parties last about 3 hours. You could keep the same songs on a loop, but a bigger variety can keep the evening interesting.
4. Play music at just the right volume. Too loud and guests won't be able to talk and relax. Too low and the music won't be noticed.
