    Jewelry displays are always tough to come up with a new idea. We were
    having trouble with display at the outdoor shows trying to get the
    work up to eye level. My husband came up with the idea of shadow box
    picture frames. Buy frames (11" x 14" works really well) at art
    supply stores and then build a shadow box to fit. We used 1 x 2 for
    the first ones that are a little heavy but the perfect depth. with
    luan for the back and used hinges on either the top or the left side.
    We use velcro circles for the closures. The interior is painted dark
    and foam core is cut to size and covered with fabric of your color
    choice ( sometimes with a thin layer of batting under the fabric). It
    is amazing how people come to the booth or our studio at the art
    center and talk about how they never considered jewelry to be art
    before but now they look at it in a different way. We have, on
    occasion, had to sell the shadow box with the jewelry for display
    when not being worn! 

Good luck!
