New RAIN RFID Loop Tag for Jewelers From SimplyRFiD Raises the Standard for Inventory
SimplyRFiD’s JT jewelry loop tag has been the standard for two years. The new JT-S loop jewelry RAIN RFID tag is 50% lower in price and 20% better performance using the latest NXP uCode9 chips. The JT-S is available for pre-order at 15c each for 1,000 pre-programmed (vs. 40c for the JT).
“We have been working on driving down the reasons not to use RFID,” says Carl Brown, President of SimplyRFiD. “There are 10,000 independent jewelers in the USA looking for a way to manage precious metals and jewels. Our Wave App is a hit and rescues the weekend when it comes to locating misplaced items on a Friday night.”
Getting Started With Modern Inventory
1. Tag your items with a JT loop or TR-800 sticker RFID tag.
A loop price tag is a common look for jewelry using barcode price tags. The JT-S Loop RFID jewelry tag (available: January 2023/pre-order now) is designed to be a replacement to the legacy tag.
2. Take Inventory in seconds with the SimplyRFiD Wave Inventory App
Wave will immediately tell you what’s found and what’s not. A typical store of 2,000-3,000 items takes 5 minutes to inventory.
SimplyRFiD also publishes a how-to guide for jewelers to get started with RFID and a comprehensive guide on best-practices when creating a modern inventory system.

The Results
Leading retailers began rolling out RAIN RFID more than ten years ago. It took a lot of experiments to figure out what worked, but the results are in and they are dramatic.
“SimplyRFiD’s Wave App customers are seeing accuracy above 99% vs. 85% accuracy with barcodes,” said Eric Richmond, Vice President of Delivery for SimplyRFiD. “Daily inventory with RFID stops permanent inventory losses before it’s too late.”
