A jewelry support device comprises an upper section defined by an upper octagonal plate and a lower octagonal plate between which are supported four jewelry support members each formed by two plates at right angles rotatable relative to the plates about a vertical axis at a mid-line of the plates. The members are spaced around the periphery of the plates with mirrored panels positioned between each member and the next to provide a pleasing appearance. A lower section of the device is formed by drawers between the lower plate and a bottom plate with the drawers being pie-shaped. A base plate can be supported on a suitable surface with the whole device being rotatable relative to the base plate by a suitable bearing. The device allows organized storage of a large quantity of jewelry particularly earrings and ready access to the jewelry in a device of attractive appearance.
A jewelry storage device comprising a support structure having a base member for resting upon a support surface, an upper part of the support structure including a horizontal top plate and a horizontal bottom plate being rotatable relative to the base member about a vertical main axis so as to allow access by a user to the full periphery of the support structure, a plurality of jewelry receiving members mounted on said support structure between said top plate and said bottom plate at angularly spaced positions around the periphery thereof, each said jewelry receiving member being individually rotatable relative to the support structure about a respective axis parallel to said main axis each member comprising a plurality of flat vertical panels joined at said respective axis, outer edges of the panels lying substantially in an imaginary cylinder surrounding the respective axis, and a plurality of mirrored panels fixedly mounted so as to extend between said top plate and said bottom plate each mirrored panel being located between two of said jewelry receiving members and spaced outwardly of a line joining the respective axis of two of said jewelry receiving members adjacent the periphery of the top and bottom plates.
A jewelry storage device arranged for use with individual earrings of the type comprising an earring body, a stud and a backer slidable on the stud and with earrings of the type comprising a wire hook suspending an earring body, the device comprising a support structure including a base member for resting on a receiving surface and a plurality of jewelry support members each said jewelry receiving member comprising a plurality of flat vertical panels joined at a central axis and mounted on the support structure so that rotation of said jewelry receiving member about said central axis allows access by a user to chosen ones of said panels, at least one of said panels comprising a substantially rigid sheet having a plurality of holes therein dimensioned to receive a stud of an earring with the backer attached to the stud on a side of the sheet opposite to the body of the earring and at least one of the panels comprising a pair of vertical side bars and a plurality of elongate horizontal rung members connected between the side bars in vertically spaced relation and dimensioned such that each can receive at least one wire hook of an earring with the body of stet earring suspended therefrom.
