Description
Why do you require this extension:
Top jewelry e-commerce sites are BlueNile, Ice.com, Gemvara, etc. They enable customers to ‘build’ their own jewelry. The most popular sample is the sale of rings and diamonds. Rings come in different sizes, metals, etc (engagement rings, wedding rings, more). Diamonds come in different colors, prices, clarity, cuts, etc (loose diamonds, colored diamonds, more).
As a jewelry store owner you need flexibility to allow customerrs easily filter diamonds, combine options into a product that the shopper wants to customize to his need. You require our Magento jewelry tool to achieve this.
How it works:
Magento jewelry product configurator allows customers to combine diamonds and rings (if required) into a single item (known as Magento bundle products). But simple products are enabled as well and bundle products are just an option. So your shoppers can buy a separate diamond OR a custom bundle: a ring with a diamond.
The jewelry extension generates custom product pages (in our example: one for rings and one for diamonds). Different view options are preserved (grid, list).
The operations like filtering, sorting, adding products to compare and wishlist occur with no reload (AJAX driven) that minimizes the server load unlike the default Magento functionality.
In our ring/ diamond sample they are applied as default Magento products in the extension core that leaves intact the entire functionality for Magento products – taxes, promotions, etc. and this also makes possible to enhance your store with more extensions coming from iKantam and other 3rd party Magento providers.
Jewelry configurator installation does not affect the products available at the store.
More useful features (though they are likely to require some customization to meet your individual case requirements): You can import large product files to update the inventory (.csv format) or automate the process with a cron job - a nice feature for those merchants who dropship.
Extension features include:
- Custom product pages generation
- AJAX driven filters
- Bulk product feed import
- The product customization is implemented with Magento bundle product type
- Ability to combine diamond and ring into one bundle product or to purchase them separately

- Easy localization with the language file
- 100% open source jewelry plugin
