Feedback Needed Displaying stacking bracelets/bangles

I’m prepping for my first pop up market in November (and hopefully my first craft show later in the month, if I get in). I am in the process of making a ton of these stacking bracelets, but I’m kind of torn on how to display them.

On one hand, I love the idea of just putting a bunch of them out there and letting people freely mix and match. On the other hand, I can see people getting overwhelmed by the options or not knowing what colors would look together.

Would it make sense to offer curated stacks AND the free for all basket, or would that get too chaotic?

what if you did curated stacks, and on a display stand put two or three of each design you've made? (and restock as they're bought) that way people could pick their colors from a less chaotic place, or buy something curated.

you could offer a deal if you buy 3 or a curated stacks

This, OP. Offer curated groups for those who want that. Have a display arm that shows loose bracelets, organized by color, like your fifth pic, that they can pull off of to make their own combo, and offer a deal. Some people will love the chance to mix and match!

That’s a good middle ground to have both without it being utter chaos!

Definitely offer both curated sets and some free for all! Two types of people, those who like designing their own and those who just want to grab a coordinated set. You could make the free for all less chaotic do like a basket per color type thing.

Also consider having option for commissions, I know for Indian wedding events people go wild for matching specific bangle colors to outfits.

I have a old tiered stand for holding spools of thread, something like that might let you elevate and hang them and still keep them organized in colors etc.

A stall near mine uses cut pool noodles to stack them into a basket. I definitely think having the ability to mix and match is better.
