Dealing with gems, earrings, necklaces, watches or other precious inventory? For businesses in the jewelry industry, a strong inventory management system is especially important, given the high value and small size of many jewelry products. Tracking jewelry pieces using traditional SKU or UPC tags can, however, be incredibly time consuming, which is why many companies turn instead to radio frequency identification (RFID) jewelry tags. RFID jewelry tags help many such companies maintain their jewelry inventory and avoid theft, counterfeiting and other losses, while also meeting the inventory count requirements of insurance companies. Best of all, they do so more quickly and efficiently than other tracking methods.

In other words, a UHF RFID jewelry label ensures that workers know where each piece is at all times, without having to go around and count the pieces themselves.
With RFID, it’s possible to automatically collect information in real time, which companies can then store in a database. With each RFID jewelry tag, you’re guaranteed another insight into buying preferences and behaviors.
RFID for the Jewelry Industry
Warehouse and Retail Tracking
As you’ll discover from the discussion of the following uses, jewelry RFID tags are equally useful in the warehouse and the jewelry store, tracking products from creation to sales, due to their speed and precision. Companies can create custom RFID jewelry tags to suit virtually every need.Quicker Inventory Management
For companies that sell jewelry, RFID tags offer the potential to save countless hours in the inventory management process, and also greatly improve accuracy. RFID technology offers the benefit of a long reading distance, especially when using an ultra-high frequency (UHF) RFID reader, which boasts an even greater range.

Loss prevention is imperative in every industry, but it’s especially crucial—and tricky—in the jewelry industry, which deals with tiny, but often incredibly expensive, inventory. As of 2021, jewelry store theft was on the rise, and only continues to grow. For jewelry stores, RFID readers can detect when jewelry tags leave a store and automatically trigger an alarm, and in doing so, prevent theft.Faster Sales Process
RFID enables companies to not only track items, but also keep detailed information about them. Your RFID jewelry labels might include information about the appearance, specific location and price. This makes it easier (and faster) for employees to bill clients, and also to locate specific pieces within the store, thus ensuring your continued high sales performance.| Check out these blogs about RFID: |
