I am a bit of a jewelry nut... and enjoy wearing all different golds... white,  yellow, rose separately or together... platinum and silver as well... additionally I have 3 holes in each ear so I love earrings and have quite a collection... I want everything to match so I have my jewelry sorted by type and color to make it easy to find stuff when I am in a hurry... so rather than keeping stuff in standard jewelry boxes I keep everything in clear section craft boxes... the kind you use for beads work great and you can get them in various sizes... works really well and they are cheap enough that you can bunches of them... they stack nicely just about anywhere... Babs...

finally a good way to hold earings. 

 

 

 

Thats a lot of jewelry!! I hope somone has some idea for you to help out I loved Babs idea but probably not for so many necklaces. Perhaps your dh could make you something to hang them on with pegs on it, something where one peg could hold multiple necklaces.

I finally got my standing jewlry chest. They make tie holders that can hold necklaces. I use the little craft boes for earrings.

My husband mounted several belt holders ( kind of like pegs, but thinner and hooked) on the inside of the doors covering my sweater shelves. ( They would also work well inside a closet door) Each hook holds several necklaces and because they're right by where my clothes are, it's easy and convenient to find a coordinating piece. I frequently borrow from my stock, so I always had way too many all over the place... now it's pretty organized.

Thats a nice idea Linda!  Have you heard about the new magnetic clasps for jewelry? its supposed to help those that have issues putting jewelry on. I would worry about the safety of using something like this. have you ever used it?

I was thinking on the line of the little sectioned craft boxes.  There are also a verity of clear pill boxes... they have lids so earrings wouldn't spill out.  I don't wear earrings cuz they give me a headache... don't laugh... it's true.  I also can not wear my hair up in anyway cuz the holders give me head aches.  So do headbands.  I love my long hair so Im not cutting it.  I just wear it straight down.  Strange  huh ?  As for necklesses.  I do have a lot of those.  I keep the beaded ones in a jewelry box that has a lot of sections.  The ones that are on short chains.. you will never guess.... I use coffee mug holders.   They are like a tree with a lot of hooks on them.  They can hold a lot of chains.  The longer chain ones I keep in the jewelry box with the beaded ones.

PJ Coffee mug hooks is a great idea to.  I also get headaches when I wear my hair up and sometimes the earrings give me headaches. I guess we both have sensitive heads. LOL!!
