I sell a lot of my homemade jewelry at swap meets and at craft fairs. How do I keep my jewelry from disappearing (getting stolen) at shows?
Theft is always a problem in retail and small items like jewelry are especially vulnerable to our sticky-fingered friends! Use of locking display cases are an excellent way to secure your products and still keep them in front of customers in an attractive, eye-catching manner.
Some particular cases to consider would be acrylic showcases. They are available in all sizes and accommodate different types of product. Here are some specific cases to consider:
Item# 1469 - Locking jewelry showcase with 2 removable bars across width to accommodate many necklaces; Bars on two levels. This case measures 13"w x 7 1/2"d x 21"h and locks from back for easy access.
Item# 1381 – Rotating Earring Showcase provides display space for 180 2" Earring Cards. This case is completely enclosed, locks from back and rotates for easy viewing.
Dimensions: 15 3/4"w, 15 3/4"d, 21"h
Item# 1460L and 1461L – Locking Acrylic Trays with Lid - 2 sizes:1460L - 12"w x 8"d, 2"h Acrylic Case, Locking1461L - 16"w x 8"d, 2"h Acrylic Case, Locking
These cases are great for craft fairs and showcasing small items. However, if you are traveling to attend a show, you’ll want to consider the following storage options:
Item# A861-7 Aluminum Carrying Case with Rollers 
This case features:
Solid Aluminum Shell
Rollers with Retractable arm.
Adjustable pull-out handle
Side-way door for easy access
Extra storage compartment on door for brochures
Two 3 digit combination locks and two key locks

This case is excellent for secure travel with many different types of small products. Be sure to contact Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for latest safety parameters on commercial flights. On occasion, they may break locks on luggage to ensure there are no questionable items inside. You may want to request a search to alleviate this problem.

Dimensions: 12 3/8" x 8 1/2" x 2 1/4"H

This case is best for taking samples of items, not necessarily enough product to sell a large show.
I hope this has given you ideas to secure and store your product for travel and shows. For additional carrying cases, see Carrying Cases under “Jewelry – Black Displays” at www.valleystoreequipment.com or call Valley Store Equipment (800) 996-9404.
