I found Screw-On Stackable Containers in small, medium and large sizes at a local Dollar Store. In addition to keeping my necklaces tangle free, my jewelry is clearly organized by size and color. I stack the containers in a wide/shallow cupboard that allows me to see almost everything at a glance.

I was looking for some ideas to hang my long necklaces and the one mentioned by Kyla can be purchased on line at:

I have a pocket door so leaves my choices to the walls. I am thinking I will buy the tie rack and paint it or mount it on a larger piece of painted material or a frame and treat it like wall art.

Meredith - LOL. That’s my husband’s foot. I think I said, “Get out of the way. I’m trying to take a picture,” and he didn’t get all the way out.

Oh my gosh! I love this idea! Thank you so much!

I totally have this problem with my necklace and I have been looking for the perfect fix for it.

Plus I love your blog. I’m so glad I found it. I just moved from California to outside the Seattle area. I have lived in California my whole life so your tips have been so great for me! Thanks!

Have a great day.

I do that too

And for earrings, I put them in those beading boxes with the small separate compartments? Keeps them from tangling, and keeps the pairs together!!

This is almost just what I do. I found one of those rotating tie racks at a garage sale and use that. I put only one necklace on each tie holder, though, and only my bead necklaces, I still keep my chain necklaces in discrete piles in a jewelry box with compartments.

One thing that minimizes tangling is to always close the clasps again before putting things away. It doesn’t perfectly prevent tangling, but it helps quite a bit.

What a great idea! Right now I have all my necklaces wrapped around a hanger.

You have a great site! I have listed “you look fab” in our Favorite Vancouver Fashion and Shopping Blogs/Sites.

Has anyone heard of the jewelry forest? It’s an artsy-looking piece of metal sculpture made to look like a small stand of stick-like trees. It sits on a heavy base. The idea is to hang your neclaces from the higher branches and use the smaller, lower ones for rings and bracelets. It looks like an interesting idea, altho I’d think you have to be careful of tangles among the trees.

I’ve been using one of these wooden wall racks that I got off Ebay last year:

It’s hanging inside my closet on the wall. I also have a row of robe hooks I screwed into the wall that hold quite a lot. Since I have started designing/selling jewelry, my jewelry wardrobe is getting huge. And my designs are getting progressively chunkier and these racks and hooks are doing very well. If someone is looking for a table-top necklace holder, I would suggest a nice hand-towel rack (shaped like a t-bar) that holds a lot and is very sturdy. I use one for when I am selling at fairs and its working very well. It only cost me about $10 or so at TJMaxx. I did see an adorable one that is available at Pottery Barn, shaped like tree branches but it was almost $50.
