Jewelry display

Abstract

A jewelry display and case provides specific mounts for necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings in a tree like arrangement with branches for holding earrings, a trunk for necklaces, a base for rings and a mount secured to the trunk for bracelets. The branches provides holes for pierced earrings and an upward tilt to secure clip-on earrings. The entire arrangement is able to rotate for viewing the jewelry. A transparent cover extends over the tree arrangement and has a door for access. In an alternate embodiment, instead of branches, the jewelry is mounted on one or more rings supported on the trunk.

1 . A jewelry display apparatus comprising: a base; a side wall engaged with the base and extending upwardly therefrom, the side wall providing an entry door therein; a top plate capping the side wall; a rotatable platform mounted within the base; a trunk extending vertically between the rotatable platform and the top plate; at least one strut engaged with and supported by the trunk, and providing plural through holes therein; a plurality of hooks secured to the trunk proximal the top plate; and a plurality of slots arranged in the platform, whereby, necklaces may be hung from the hooks; earrings may be secured in the holes in the at least one strut; bracelets may be hung over the at least one strut; and finger and toe rings may be secured within the slots in the platform. 
   
   
       2 . The jewelry display apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the at least one strut comprises a plurality of branches extending radially outwardly from the trunk. 
   
   
       3 . The jewelry display apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the branches are each oriented at an upward angle. 
   
   
       4 . The jewelry display apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the plurality of hooks are positioned such that necklaces hung from the hooks do not contact any of the branches. 
   
   
       5 . The jewelry display apparatus of  claim 2  wherein the trunk provides a plurality of recesses therein, each of the recesses configured for removably receiving an end of one of the branches thereby securing the branch to the trunk. 
   
   
       6 . The jewelry display apparatus of  claim 5  wherein the number of recesses in the trunk is greater than the number of branches thereby enabling alternative arrangements of the branches on the trunk. 
   
   
       7 . The jewelry display apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the at least one strut includes a circular ring encircling the trunk and spaced apart therefrom, the ring comprising a plurality of spaced apart ring segments, each of the ring segments secured to the trunk by a brace. 
   
   
       8 . The jewelry display apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the platform and the trunk are covered by a fabric. 
   
   
       9 . The jewelry display apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the side wall is made of a clear material, whereby, the trunk and platform are clearly visible through the side wall. 
   
   
       10 . The jewelry display apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the trunk terminates with an upper trunk portion fixed to the top plate, a lower trunk portion, extending between the upper trunk portion and the platform; the upper and lower trunk portions mutually rotationally engaged.
