Abstract:

An apparatus for the storage and display of articles of jewelry includes a plurality of plastic strips that are disposed in parallel alignment with respect to each other and which each include a pair of spaced apart openings on each end thereof that are adapted for placement over a pair of posts. The pair of posts are disposed in a parallel spaced apart relationship with respect to each other. Each of the plastic strips includes a plurality of fingers that protrude slightly outward and away from the posts and are adapted to receive and to retain an article of jewelry that may be suspended therefrom. The posts are retained in position in a cabinet. The strips are retained in position along the pair of posts unless the strips are acted on by a force which tends to urge them in either direction along the longitudinal length of the pair of posts. The strips may be urged either closer together or further apart to accommodate various sizes of jewelry items. A brace is preferably used to retain the pair of posts in a proper spaced-apart relationship.
