branch and jar jewelry tree with necklacesI love this project, especially this time of year when trees lose their leaves and it's time for a trim and pruning. I use the branch scraps to make jewelry holders with some added marbles and jars.

  3. If you'd like to hide the marbles, wrap the jar with cloth or wrapping paper and tape or glue to secure. Add a ribbon if you like. Hang your jewelry!

I have been making jewelry at home to make money. Last week, I got a call to put my stuff in a shop in two days. The only problem was I had used my necklace display stand somewhere else.

Wrapped wire jewelry tree.

I am looking into making a jewelry tree out of my mom's jewelry. I noticed from the pictures on Pinterest, the jewelry is mounted in frames.

Could they work in a shadow box? My mom passed away in January, 2022 and I want to protect the jewelry pieces as much as possible. Thank you.

If I may offer one suggestion. I understand this is something very sentimental you want to do and make and will help your mom's memory always be for a blessing, but I before you make the pieces into something, go through them carefully and look for markings for 8-24 K gold (not RGF or GF which are rolled gold filled or gold filled which have no value) and sterling silver or 925 or any numbers like that (825, 95, 725 for example).

Gold and silver are still commanding value in the "scrap" world and for heirloom jewelry sellers. You could theoretically be gluing thousands of dollars worth of items to a board.

Also look for markings of the "good" costume sellers like Monet, Trifairi, Sarah Conventry and the like because they also hold a lot of value and are highly collectible.

Other than that, the others have given you great suggestions for wear to start. Pins work well when just pinned to velvet background which could be then glued to a board in your shadow box.

Gorilla glue is a pretty decent glue for other pieces.
