Tabletop Jewelry Tray Display

My A-frame jewelry display (right) along with an earring display made from 2 picture frames hinged together (left).
We are always look for ways of transporting and displaying our jewelry pieces, along with cutting down on set-up time at shows and parties. I had purchased jewelry trays to transport my jewelry, and I was using them for home parties.
I built a display that allows me to leave my pieces in the trays as part of my displays:
A simple A-frame made from 2 pieces of 1/4" thick plywood.
I hinged the 2 plywood pieces together at the top, and added a chain hooked to each piece on the inside of the "A" to stabilize it.
I attached 2 pieces of 1" x 1" wood on the front to make a ledge for the trays to sit on.
I also stained the whole thing a lovely walnut color.
The A-frame is 4 feet long x 30 inches high. What's really nice is that it allows you to display your trays vertically, and it folds almost perfectly flat for transport and storage.
It has really worked well for me and I am in the process of making an additional one for upcoming shows.
