Hi I've just started making beaded jewellry, and I need some advice on where I can purchase the stands that look like neck and shoulders(dont know correct name unless it's bust as in sculpture).

thanks

Yes they are often called display busts.

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.

If you only want the odd one or two, then ebay is the place to go.

I have used TDJC before and found them really helpful, the have a wide price range to suit all pockets.

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.

Hiya

I bought a bracelet display and some busts from here:

they are just what I needed and great value for the money I thought.

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
