The kind used to hold up clothing that otherwise would fall down. Woodyrock

I'm thinking i might order some of these to display special pieces, little stands and such, not sure if this is what you had in mind. hope it helps.

EDIT: Don't know if this is the best place to get em from, it was just the first place that came up w/ a search for cabochon display

I don't do a lot of jewelry so I tend to display my cabs in Riker Cases. Another idea is to use old CD jewel cases. Use a little bit of double back tape on the back of the cabs.
The following is just one example of a jewel case holding some of my cabs of Tahoma Agate/Jasper.

This particular case is a little scratched up but it keeps the cabs from getting all dusty, and I use two colors; black for light cabs and white for dark cabs.

Displaying isn't quite the right word for what I do. I have 4 piles of 10 boxes each that look like this:

The closest thing to displaying them is scanning them and uploading to a photo hosting site so I can look at them. If I had the time I would digitally photograph them with proper lighting and upload them. I have 1000-2000 cabs that need photographing so that task is one the back burner.

Holdem - thanks for the link, those caliper jobbies are seksy.

Star - Very, very nice; looks like Riker mounts are the way to go. Any possibility of the glass abrading the cabs? Guess it's not much of a likelihood for quartz on up. Damn good looking cabs, man, no boring old ovals and all with the right proportions.

i use the riker boxes also, but i felt lined the inside of the box. i then put a small piece of velco on the back of the cab and presto chango...........the cab stays in place.
I learned it from all the shows i;ve done.
