Nisa:

    A show booth is made up of many components. Some can be made by you
    others purchased. The first thing you need is a good tent. I
    recommend a Lite Dome. THe EZ up tents while cheap are problematic
    on many different levels. I believe there is a thread on tents on
    Orchid. 

    You don't need to buy pipe and drape. Go to the local Penneys, Bed
    Bath & Beyond etc and get some of their curtains. They offer a
    variety of looks, colors, price points. 

    Your hardest decision will be your jewelry display. There are some
    very expensive professional ones out there (Dynamic
    Display)-probably not necessary, unless you really like all their
    features. Many jewelers fabricated their own or have someone do it
    for them, based on their design. You will have to balance security
    for your product with accessibility for the customers, plus the
    aesthetics of the display. All of this is further complicated by the
    fact it must be hauled to a show in your vehicle, set up by you (&
    helpers?) in a reasonable amount of time, broken down at the end of
    the show, and stored until the next show. 

    Get Bruce Baker's tape on booth design. He know what he is talking
    about. Go to art festivals and see what other jewelers are doing. 

    There is no one answer, no one place to go. You have a myriad of
    decisions to make as to what will work best for you & your
    situation.
