    One option to cases that I've seen people use are clasped pins on a
    cloth-covered board.  They use a pin that is more like a safety pin
    -- they might be badge pins -- they look like a fibula.  The pieces
    stay attached to the back board, but are able to be touched and
    slightly handled by the viewer.  The clasped pin is threaded through
    natural openings in the jewelry, or else a contrasting wire (so that
    it is obviously not part of the jewelry piece) is threaded through,
    and then that is pinned. 

    It seems like this approach discourages casual theft. 

    According to research, allowing people to touch your product will
    increase sales.   : )
