Step 7: Post-processing and assembly

When assembling your display begin by gluing the coloured TroGlass Satin components to the 5mm clear acrylic, ensuring that the pieces are positioned exactly above each other.

The next step is to position the engraved 8 mm acrylic. To protect your laser engraved design position the engraved side onto the coloured acrylic.

Inspirations

For an even more individual presentation of your jewellery, use displays in other shapes, material thicknesses and material combinations. If you are using only few thin acrylic sheets, cut a base to let the display stand stable.
