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.
Microfibre suede on a earring stand, specifically
Suede takes punched holes and the holes stay round through a season of use, where velvet's pile eventually frays at the edge of the hole.
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 microfibre suede is applied to a display form
Microfibre suede has a short, even nap and no grain direction to match, so it wraps a compound curve more cleanly than velvet and shows fewer joins. That makes it the default on shaped forms.
Where it is used
Counter cases and window work, usually in pairs or sets of three heights.
Suede under case lighting
Suede reads matte and even, with none of the sheen shift you get across velvet as you move around a case. Under LED spots it holds one tone from every viewing angle, which is why window dressers ask for 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 microfibre suede
Microfibre suede is the working surface of most modern counters. Short nap, matte, and it does not shed onto a polished piece.
Brush with the nap. It recovers from handling better than velvet and is the safer choice for display that is moved every day.

Frequently asked questions
Can earring stands be made in our brand colour?
Yes — the microfibre suede is matched to a Pantone reference or a physical swatch, and confirmed on a sample.
What sizes do earring stands come in?

Suede takes punched holes and the holes stay round through a season of use, where velvet's pile eventually frays at the edge of the hole.
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.
