Abstract: The invention is a jewelry holder kit and process for its use. The kit comprises: a stock pad consisting essentially of resilient foamed polymer readily penetrable by and having depth sufficient for retaining a penetrating part of the object to be held thereon and exhibiting a self-healing working surface exposing a multitude of open cells, the working surface being at least partially faced or faceable with discontinuous paint; paint for applying the at least partial facing on the working surface to the extent that it has not been preapplied; and at least one pattern of a configuration that fits the pad for shaping and/or decorating at least a portion of the working surface thereof.

Abstract: A holder for objects such as jewelry or the like is shown. It comprises a pad consisting essentially of resilient foamed polymer having depth sufficient for retaining the posts or pins of the objects to be held thereon and exhibiting a self-healing working surface having open cells, the surface being at least partially faced with discontinuous paint.
