This probably does not deserve a thread, but I found a cabinet (comes in one of three finishes) which has been adapted to display the pendants which I had created.
Looking online I only found smaller display cases or containers which laid flat. Most often stacked on top of each other, or used to transport quantities of pendants to jewelry shows and such.
I started out using standard jewelry cases, but after a while they were all stacking on top of each other and many of the pendants were just getting buried under stacks of cases.
So I looked for something else. I wanted something that maybe I could hang on the wall even.
There turns out to not be much available for wall hanging pendants. But there were cabinets used to display key chain or spoon collections. Here is a link:
I tried out one of these. The cabinet is very solid, the hooks good, and it comes with much hardware and flexibility for hanging even very heavy material.
* I have to use 18 gauge wire to fashion a hook holding adapter ( I could take a picture of this ), so that pendants could be oriented correctly and hang well.
But at any rate, I have 5 of these cabinets now and hang them in various places throughout the home. I will likely buy more.
I believe that with some skill that these cabinets could be made by any craftsman. But I don't have the tools or skill to make them myself.

All your pendants look even better in the case together. That case is a good deal, I think. It looks bigger in your picture than in the Amazon ad.
Thanks for the review.

You may have had some trouble finding the right display cabinet...but the work paid off! That's a "perfect" looking cabinet! It really looks great!

Thanks folks. I would be more proud if I have crafted the cabinet myself. Fit on the ones I have is perfect, and finish is nearly perfect as well. The packaging was the best I have ever seen, nearly for anything which I have ever ordered online. I'll be buying more. It appears that the factory is domestic (Display Gifts, Inc.), and there is not a marking, sticker or identification anywhere which says "Made in XX". So who knows. displaygifts.com/

NevadaBill thanks for showing us this idea. I love it because I interpret the whole display to be greater than the sum of it's parts. Have you checked out Monkey Hooks to use as fasteners? I love them because they are strong, easy to install and leave little wall damage. I prefer the low profile model. You can get them at Ace Hardware.

Actually, RWA3006, I wasn't aware of the Monkey Hook. I just took a look at them and it looks like a good design. I will grab a couple next time I visit the HW store. Thanks for the idea!
