I would like to know what gems displays do you use?

I have tried several ones such as:
ricestone gems displays
and
findingking

but I am not entirely satisfied:
You can clearly see the luster of gems but gems are able to move.

I have not tried displays with gems jars: I have fear that the luster will less important because of the glass/plastic jars.

Where did you find yours? Can you give any references?
Thank you

Personally I use the gem jars but if I was just going to display my loose gems, I''d use the top one.

I use a mix of gem jars and the little boxes with glass lids.

However, they are to store my stones, not to display them so it''s important to me that the stone can''t move. I also store stones on their own - it chips and scratches the heck out of them if you store them the way yours are.

I get my boxes and jars either from Gem-A in London or via eBay.

I like the look of these and am thinking of switching to them: http://www.kassoy.com/boxel-floating-gemstone-box.html

I use gem jars too. I''m paranoid about the stones getting scratched/ruined.

I use ziploc bags and parcel papers to store (but we''re talking about large numbers here). I''m thinking about trying some of those Kassoy floating gem boxes - they look like they might be really good.

Beware of the floating gem cases. The membranes inside are very bouncy so you open the lid and "ping" out flies a gem. Or, you put it in and it bounces all around until the close the lid (which holds it in place). They look great but in my opinion don''t hold a candle to the regular gem cases.

I already posted a thread about the gem case I have:

But when I want to haul my stones with me, I just put the gem boxes in this (much lighter and more compact):
