Wide Flat Necklace Display 28 × 18 × 9 cm

• The teal is rich and slightly muted, a backdrop that lets gold, silver and coloured stones stand out.
• The wood is light and natural-looking, with a clean grain that keeps the stand calm beside bolder jewellery.
• Evenly spaced notches run down both sides of the frame, and a few more along the top edge, giving chains a place to rest.
• The panel is flat and upright, so it reads more like a small framed picture than a piece of storage.
• The low wooden base spreads the stand along the surface it sits on.

The stand combines wood, suede and velvet. The frame and base are wood, left in a pale, natural-looking finish. The panel face is covered in a soft, short-pile fabric in a single saturated colour. Soft fabric and plain wood is a familiar pairing in jewellery display, and it works here because the two stay out of each other's way: the wood gives structure, the fabric gives colour and a gentle surface for pendants to lie against.

Hang a necklace by its chain over one of the notches, so the pendant falls against the teal panel. Because the notches sit around the edge rather than across the front, the face of the panel stays clear, and you can see each piece against the velvet. It suits a small collection you wear often, kept where you will actually see it each morning. Pendants, longer chains and finer pieces each have their own place on the frame.

On a dressing table, a chest of drawers or a shelf, where it can stand a little apart from other objects. It also works at a market stall or a craft fair, as the flat panel and the notches show jewellery clearly. Keep it indoors and dry, as wood prefers a stable room to a damp one.

Brush the velvet gently to lift dust, and wipe the wood with a dry cloth. Keep it out of damp spaces such as bathrooms.

The stand measures 28 × 18 × 9 cm, roughly the footprint of a hardback book standing upright. It is open display only, with no drawers or compartments.
