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.
Leatherette on a earring stand, specifically
Posts will not go through leatherette. An earring stand here needs a fabric-faced panel where the holes are, with leatherette on the body — a two-material build that has to be planned at drawing stage.
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 leatherette is applied to a display form
Leatherette is wrapped and its edges are turned under, so every visible edge is a folded edge rather than a cut one. It will not stretch far, so a tight compound curve is built up in sections with the joins placed where they face away from the customer.
Where it is used
Counter cases and window work, usually in pairs or sets of three heights.
Leatherette under case lighting
It has a slight sheen, so a strong spot will show a highlight along the top of a riser. That is usually flattering on a plain block and unflattering on a curved bust, which is worth knowing before you specify it.
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 leatherette
Leatherette display gives a harder, more architectural line than fabric. The grain catches light along an edge, which defines the shape of a riser or a tray.
Wipes clean, which is why it suits trays that go on a counter and come back.

Frequently asked questions
Can earring stands be made in our brand colour?
Yes — the leatherette 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 leatherette a good choice for a earring stand?
Posts will not go through leatherette. An earring stand here needs a fabric-faced panel where the holes are, with leatherette on the body — a two-material build that has to be planned at drawing stage.
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 leatherette and the same colour across boxes and display, ordered in one run.
