Looking for a very specific earring display stand

For several months now, I've been looking for a very specific earring display stand. I've done a number of different searches on the Internet and this is the closest thing I've been able to find for what I'm looking for.
http://www.storefixtures2000.com/WireRa ... player.htm
What I'd really like is a display stand with wooden sides and top with the wire rod cross-pieces for hanging earring cards from, with about 2" between the wire rods. These are for very very small sterling earrings. I could use 2 or 3 of them...maybe even 4. LOL.
Some time ago, I saw another jeweler with an earring display like this, but can't remember who it was or where I saw them. The Rio Catalog has something similar but it also isn't quite what I'm looking for.
If anyone has information about an earring display like this, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks -
Geri

here's some more:
http://www.displaysonline.com/A616.html all wood version of what i think you're talking about (they have lots of great stuff on that site, it's fun to look through.)
http://www.topazbkk.co.th/earring_package_wood.asp that site has a few earring displays i'm intrigued by. they're apparently package displays sold with the earrings, but if you have a woodworker friend
try potomacdesign.com do a search for 'earring'. acrylic and wire stuff, but some unusual ones (i like the single tier looooong earring displays. and the hinged easel. the ladder style is also pretty neat, but that holds 216 pairs. yeesh) they have clear, frosted, or black finish on most acrylic things. so not totally boring.

aloha geri -- are you looking for a 4-sided stand that revolves? i have seen a wooden stand, 4 sides, wire "dowels" maybe 3 rows high, so folded earring cards slip over the wire. the wire is actually thicker than that used for a wire coat-hanger. not too bendable. i think this style i've seen also has mirror on it.
it is possible that what i have seen is a custom job ... i have a 4-sided stand for my work, and i make it myself. every year i get a few calls from people who want to buy my stand.
there's a woman on O'ahu who makes extemely nice porcelain earrings with handpainted motifs. i know that sounds kinda icky, but trust me, these earrings are terrific looking. she has a 4-sided wooden revolving stand, walnut finish, looks very splendid, i must say.
if you like, i'll try to find out about a 4-sided one, if that's what you're interested in. lemme know. kitty.

Lauren! This is pretty much what I've been looking for! Thank you! And what's funny is that they're here in CA and yet you found them from NY.
Thanks for the pointers to all the sites. Cool stuff! Displays are so much fun. If you ever run across any easy to assemble, very upscale looking shelving units, please let me know. I think I'm going to replace my current shelving units next year.
One option I'm considering is Display Systems pedestals. Love my jewelry case/stand from them.

That's a thought! I'd never seen a one that revolves. I have a couple of the revolving ones that Rio carries, but the horizontal things are plexi and are too wide for the cards I want to use.
If you can get any info, please pass it on. Thanks!
I just KNEW someone on this board would have seen such a display somewhere. Great info, ladies!

i love mine! i have taken to skipping setting up the jewelry cases when i'm doing the 2 day outdoor shows but when i do indoor shows i use them but i love the way the pedestals and tops come apart and fold up - less storage space and very easy to transport....
