Practicing setup and refining my show display for an upcoming art show, thought some of you might be interested to see it. This lets me display about 500 pieces of inventory and is very shop-able. The acrylic display will be filled with gem carvings and other high dollar items. It's easy to setup, can be secured against the wind, will hold up to a rain storm if need be and is easy to clean and pack up again. My only complaint is that it's getting a little tight for space and I can't get all of my inventory out, so only the best goes up and the rest is held in reserve to fill holes as it gets sold down.   |

OMG, that all looks fantastic!!! Thanks! This setup is the result of 3 years of evolution, and I still might change it in the future, but I'm pretty happy with where it's at for the moment. 2011 - was just a bunch of riker boxes on a table 2012 - I started using flocked A frame pendant displays. these looked good until a breeze came and knocked everything over.  Added a sign, a few more displays and more inventory  first indoor setup; ditched the A frame displays, started offering slabs for sale along side the jewelry...this didn't work out for several reasons.  2013 - purchased better pendant displays and started developing the tray/display system I am currently using. Indoor display - space was limited so we had to condense everything; added pendant and ring display boxes  Outdoor display - Developed a U shaped display, wind proof, lots of inventory space but not very shop-able, and hard to interact with customers in. Developed a display for cuffs and an earring tree. I still use the cuff stand, but the earring tree has been retired because of space and wind issues. All in all, I liked this setup, but my current display is superior in nearly every way.  Looking forward to see how things evolve in the future. |

Awesome setup. I really appreciate your timeline photos showing your progression. It takes a whole lot of work to build up that kind of inventory.
Best of luck at your shows.
