So many artisan pendants, rings, earrings and bracelets with no way to display them as one thought, all together in shops or galleries, with out looking like a hot mess was an issue for me. This also kept me from refilling inventory for I was not crazy about how my work was put on display at these locations (not their fault) and needed to come up with a solution for them and me.

Simple is best, letting the focus be on the work instead of the display, was the thought and I knew lots of wood, following an industrial punch is where I wanted to be. Many images on line were scrolled through to get the wheels turning. Then it all came to fruition, knowing I liked the look of hardware fasteners and distressed wood... combining these two elements with industrial style design and nature. Here is what came about :)

| bolts making easel style assembly |
Linseed oil was also applied, after assembly, to seal in the age and bring out the grain. Lots of L-hooks, eye hooks and other points of interest, like this wall bracket which at one time was used for finial rods adding dimension to the display, focusing on a bracelet as seen below.

| a way to hang PA Wilds branded pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets and charms, complete with business cards makes for a centralized artisan display. This set is going to ECCOTA in Ridgway, Pa. |
 |
| each set includes a 12", 2-10" necklace easels along with a pendant, bracelet and earring board |
When I set up at shows these easels are going to save me a lot of lugging along those bulky, heavy and cumbersome displays. What did I say, simple is best!
When photographing the pieces for the
ETSY shoppe, I am excited to of course incorporate especially the necklace easels in the shot.
What is your vision to bring together your jewelry in one thought?
enjoy!
