I just has my husband make me a necklace hanging organizer. He used a bunch of those gold little hooks and a piece of wood. He screwed those hooks in two rows and mounted it on my wall. It's SO much better than it was before!

So, like, I'm a visual person, right? And I, uh, live alone? So, all of my jewelry is spread out across the top of my dresser. Because if I don't see it, it doesn't exist and I don't wear it. I use various trays and dishes to keep it somewhat organized - I'm not a total madwoman.

I just got a jewelry armoire and am embarrassed to say I have not yet transferred all of my jewelry to it! And I don't have very much really, but it is all over the house!

Too embarrassed to send photos. Let's just say your jewelry is treated way, way better and 100 times more organized than mine.

I have a wall hanging photo jewelry box. It is the very first one listed at the link below: http://www.shopwiki.com/photo+jewelry+box

Wal-Mart doesn't carry it right now becuase it was a Christmas gift from last year, but I am sure you can search the interwebs and find on similar. I love it. I no longer have tangled anything unless I am lazy and don't hang up my necklaces or

I keep most of mine in the boxes they came in, in one giant box.
Not pretty but nothing gets tangled!

First: have the same beaded bracelet from my little ones. Are you sure that's yours?

Second: love that lia sophia piece.

Third: I found a nice fabric "tray" at Target with one long center section I use to layout necklaces and 6 smaller ones that I keep earrings, smaller necklaces and bracelets. I'm sure it's not supposed to be for jewelry but it works

The Safekeepers are nice because your silver needs less polishing.

I like this because I can fit lots of things besides jewelry - small things the kids give me, extra buttons, dress

I am really looking forward to hearing the responses you receive. Sadly my jewelry looks a lot like yours!

I too had a tangled mass of jewelry and oy it drove me INSANE!!

So I had the brilliant idea to install a line of hooks in my room to help hold them. (picture: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_9HZbw8xrHvY/STSy50KRyII/AAAAAAAAAwo/D3rrGdTv_2A/s1600-h/My+Room+014.JPG)

And you can pick up a little line of regular hooks at Target for maybe $10 and it'll organize your necklaces/
