I have finished my final display stand/jewellery box (see development sheets) with beads from broken jewellery to compliment the eco-friendly re-use and recycle aesthetic of the jewellery.
I kept the rest of it neutral so any of the pieces of jewellery can be hung on it and will stand out.
Although i considered it, i didnt want to use my brand colours of orange and pink as i thought this would be too much but the pastel green compliments these.

The stand is for use in a shop situation to show off the jewellery as opposed to for customers to buy. This is because it was very time consuming to make (therefore labour costs will need to be reflected in the final price) and the 1/2" ply wood it is made from costs £30 for a sheet. As my target consumers are 18-35 year olds, those at the younger end may not be able to afford the pieces and even if any of my consumers can, i would not be able to keep up with demand as it took 6 hours to make just 1.
To get around this i would have to contact a manufacturer about getting the pieces pre-cut in bulk to save myself time and money, but i would have to be guarenteed that they would sell so could perhaps make them to order?
Development: different sizes? different shapes instead of heart? covered in fabric? painted? paper? hand-drawings directly onto wood? prints to match decor of customers room? different shaped jewellery box? dividers inside?
