I'm not fully computer literate, but I can spell IT!!!!!!!!
I would google "jewellery display" or "necklace busts" something like that and see what you come up with - ebay often has a lot.
Sorry I cannot recommend anywhere personally - its been a few years since I bought stuff like that and the place I used to buy from closed down. But I am sure lots of other people here can recommend some great places to you.
I have just started too & did look into buying busts & found some very reasonably priced ones on ebay.
In the end I covered some cork boards because I thought I'd see if people actually wanted to buy my jewellery before I committed myself to more expense. They are working very well so far & between the 4 events I have done this month have sold 4 pieces - which I am quite pleased about because I only started to do it so that people at fairs etc would actually stop & look instead rushing straight past because I sell mainly cards.
hi i have just bought some from www.jewellery-displays.com they seem fine, delivery was fast and i thought they were a good price
might be what you are looking for
Try Google (something like 'jewellery display templates') - I found some free templates for making your own (out of card) that way. Haven't had time to try them yet, but they look sensible!
I got some from an ebay shop called 1 stop display shop. They were reasonably priced and good quality. If I need more I would use them again. The only thing I found is that it is hard to gauge the size when buying online. I bought a few in different sizes just to see the difference and would say if you are unsure go bigger.
I used to make them from really thin plywood and a solid little square of thicker ply for a base.( I will try and find a picture) I painted them white as jewellery looks good against a clean background. They cost me a few pence to make. You can cut thin ply with a good stanley knife or get someone who is good with a jigsaw to cut them out for you, then spray with car spray paint.
Good Luck with your selling
