What it does
An earring stand holds a pair hanging, so drops fall the way they fall when worn. Studs sit on a card or a punched face instead.
Leather on a earring stand, specifically
Posts should not go through hide. A leather earring stand carries a fabric-faced panel for the holes, with the hide on the body.
Getting the proportion right
Drops and studs need different tops. A hanging bar leaves a stud with nothing to sit in; a punched face gives a drop nowhere to hang.
How leather is applied to a display form
Hide is cut, skived at the edges and wrapped, and grain varies from panel to panel. On a set of risers we cut every piece from the same hide so the set matches, and we say so on the drawing.
Where it is used
Counter cases and window work, usually in pairs or sets of three heights.
Leather under case lighting
Hide reflects softly and unevenly, which is what makes it look expensive and what makes it hard to photograph. It also darkens where it is handled, so an open-counter display in hide develops a patina rather than staying new.
The mistake to avoid
A stand tall enough for long drops will topple if the base is not weighted. Base weight matters more on earring stands than on any other display piece.
Why leather
Leather-covered display carries the grain and the slight colour variation of hide. On a counter it reads as furniture rather than as a prop, and it ages with the shop rather than staying new.
Keep out of direct window sun, which lightens hide unevenly. A conditioner once a year on a piece that stays on show.

Frequently asked questions
Can earring stands be made in our brand colour?
Yes — the leather is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical swatch, and confirmed on a sample.
What sizes do earring stands come in?
They are made to your dimensions. Drops and studs need different tops. A hanging bar leaves a stud with nothing to sit in; a punched face gives a drop nowhere to hang.
Is leather a good choice for a earring stand?
Posts should not go through hide. A leather earring stand carries a fabric-faced panel for the holes, with the hide on the body.
What goes wrong most often with earring stands?
A stand tall enough for long drops will topple if the base is not weighted. Base weight matters more on earring stands than on any other display piece.
Can earring stands be made to match our boxes?
Yes — the same leather and the same colour across boxes and display, ordered in one run.
