Abstract

A jewelry display and packaging box has a bottom and a cover connected together by a hinge for swinging to open and closed positions. The bottom has an upwardly facing display panel on which a piece of jewelry is detachably supported in a display position. The cover has a large concavity therein which faces toward the box bottom in the closed position of the cover. A jewelry support is mounted on the box and has one or more jewelry supporting portions which are disposed in spaced relation to the walls of the concavity, and above the level of the panel. The portions are arranged to suspend one or more articles of jewelry in spaced relation above, and in overhanging relation to, that portion of the display panel which is adjacent the hinge, and so that the articles extend partway into the concavity and hang in spaced relation to the concavity walls and can dangle and swing freely, whereby rays of light reflected and refracted from each dangling article continuously shift directions. Closure of the cover moves the support and each article supported thereby to a position in which the articles are fully enclosed in the box in spaced relation to the article of jewelry on the panel.
