Here's a wonderful, cheap display idea for bracelets and rings, from Joan Kraus of Joan's Jewelry:

"Why pay for jewelry displays for your booth when you can make your own?

Ring and bracelet display by Joan Kraus

I took an old black kid glove and stuffed it with dryer lint.

When I sewed the end closed, I had a great display piece for my bracelets and rings!"

Thanks so much for this great ring and bracelet display idea, Joan!

MaryLou of Time2Cre8 enjoys coming up with new ways to display jewelry. She says,

I like displaying my jewelry creations in unique ways, especially when the viewers don't have the ability to see the items firsthand.

One of my favorite displays was of a 'caterpillar bracelet' I made as a special order for a customer, photographed as it rested next to a dandelion:

I also displayed two of them lying together on a leafy shrub:

They are caterpillars, after all! Weeds can be pretty, too!

You can use natural rock and mineral specimens in many ways to create a wonderfully appealing jewelry display.

This sterling silver bracelet is stunning draped over a natural crystal cluster. Rocks of all sorts are a natural complement to jewelry.

mineral specimens can also attract attention to your display, especially if you use large, unusual, or colorful ones.

I often set some large, natural gemstone chunks around my jewelry display as an interesting conversation point with customers.

Many people don't think of the gems in their jewelry as originating from a big chunk of rock!
