ABSTRACT:
The jewelry fixture 10, 38, 60 includes a rigid support and a low temperature polymeric material. The configuration of the rigid support may be altered for supporting a pendant, earrings, a bracelet, a necklace or a ring thereon. The low temperature polymeric material is preferably a cyclic ester polymer heated to a temperature of less than about 160.degree. F. by contacting the polymeric material with heated water. The heated polymeric material is positioned on the support, and the jewelry is pressed partially into the heated polymeric material. The polymeric material is then allowed to harden at room temperature. The present invention substantially reduces damage while working on jewelry, and provides a reliable fixture for supporting the jewelry during manufacture, modification or repair.
