A jewelry display tray according to the present invention includes an upper structural member and a lower structural member. A plurality of recesses are formed in both the upper and lower members. The recesses in the upper member extend in a downward direction when the tray is in a substantially horizontal position, and are arranged in offsetting or staggered rows. The recesses in the lower member extend in an upward direction and are similarly arranged in offsetting or staggered rows. The upper and lower members are complimentarily assembled together so that the downwardly extending recesses of the upper member fit into spaces located between the upwardly extending recess of the lower member thus forming an interlocking structure. Similarly, the upwardly extending recesses of the lower member fit into spaces located between the downwardly extending recesses of the upper member. An upper surface element having access openings, overlies the recesses of the upper member. Items of jewelry can thus pass through the openings in the upper surface element so as to be accommodated in the downwardly extending recesses of the upper member. The upwardly extending recesses in the lower member permits receipt of exposed jewelry items accommodated in another tray thus permitting nesting of a plurality of jewelry display trays. This arrangement permits spaced apart positioning of the items of jewelry for highlighting the appearance of each individual item. The recess structure also provides means of protecting the jewelry items when stored.
A jewelry display tray comprising an upper member, a plurality of recesses formed in said upper member extending in a downward direction when a major plane of said tray is oriented in a substantially horizontal direction, said recesses being arranged in offsetting rows, a lower member having a plurality of recesses extending in an upward direction when the major plane of said tray is in a horizontal position, said upwardly extending recesses arranged in offsetting rows, said upper and lower members being complimentarily fit together with said downwardly extending recesses of said upper member fitting in spaces located between said upwardly extending recesses of said lower member, said upwardly extending recesses of said lower member fitting in spaces located between said downwardly extending recesses of said upper member, whereby said upper and lower members form an interlocking structure, and means having access openings overlying said upper member so that the items of jewelry passing through said openings will be accommodated in said downwardly extending recesses of said upper member, whereby upwardly extending recesses of a first tray aligned with downwardly extending recesses of a second tray form compartments for accommodating items of jewelry when said first and second trays are positioned one on top of the other.
