    A sharp and easy design that came from a gal in my metals class when
    she branched out was: 

    End result if three walls with wall mounting for jewellery display
    and one island enclosed jewellery display. 

    Tubular tubing was used to make the wall frame.  Horizontal bars add
    strength and a place to anchor your wall hanging display cases. 

    They were attach to each other with wood dowllings screwed to a
    pressed would base.  No base for the top connectors. 

    She bought a carpet end that she lays out first and duct tapes down. 

    She likes corner booths so in the back she puts her wall.  Angles in
    the back, the other sides parallel to her square booth display area.
     This angles structure give stability. 

    She puts the four foot small island at the other corner, traffic can
    pass through between the wall and the little booth.  She allows
    enough carpet on the outside so that someone standing there feels
    they are in this environment. 

    She has canvas to cover the wall.  It wraps around top and bottom
    and secures with velcro.  There are eyeholes, like for buttons,
    strategically placed so she can reach the tubing in the back.  She
    has a variety of them so that she mix up the composition. 

    The cupboard style displays have steel hooks (about 1/2 inch wide,
    screwed into the back.  Then she merely hangs them.  They are nice
    would with padded velvet forms for display of rings, and drilled
    wood for earrings and the like. 

    She also uses a few spots lights to heighten the environment, and
    create point of focus/interest. 

    A few extension cords and power later she's done.  It took us about
    3 hours to assemble and be ready to sell. 

    She keeps the display boxes in cloth bags. The Tubes go into a long
    rectangular box. A regular box for the rest, and the carpet gets
    rolled. She uses a cordless drill to assemble the tubing on sight, it
    reduces time, and the power isn't always on when you start setup. 

Hope this idea helps.
