    I have not, to date, used cases at shows, but have decided that I
    would like to have a case or cases for the higher end of my work (the
    over $200 items).  These are mainly necklaces, and I have been
    showing them on the velvet necklace display boards, which are about
    10" tall and 9" wide.  The glass clip cases seem to run 10x10, 12x12,
    10x16 and 16x16.  I can only fit one necklace display in any of
    these.  Is there a better way to display the necklaces?  I hate using
    the displays where the necklace lies flat - you don't see it at all
    as you walk by, and I think the necklace shows better the way it will
    be worn. 

    I have been debating making my own case.  Has anyone else done this?
     Any tips/suggestions/do's/don't do's? 

    Will Plexiglas work, or is it going to be too flimsy and scratch too
    easily? 

    I have been thinking a wooden "frame" with channels for the glass or
    plexi. 

    Thoughts/ideas/suggestions welcome.  None of the shows I have done
    care whether you have cases - is this only the highest end shows? 

Thanks!
