I also hang my necklaces. I have three rows of hooks along the back of a closet door. You can see the setup here.

I’m also tempted to start hanging my bras from hooks. Those with molded cups tend to get smooshed out of shape when crammed into a tiny lingerie drawer!

I also hang my necklaces. I have a few peel and stick hooks on the side of my bathroom mirror and hang several chains on each hook. These hooks were already here when I moved in, I think the previous owners used them for hand towels. I usually “get ready” at the gym, but always pack a few necklaces into a small pouch so I have a few options.

Also, on the same subject….I recieved a chopstick/sushi set for Christmas one year. It came in a pretty box with several different sized compartments. I use this box for earings, safety pins, and bracelets. I prefer it to a jewelry box.

I found a couple of great hook racks at Target for hanging necklaces. My husband uses his for his belts. Although some of the folks working there will have no idea what you’re talking about when you ask about these necklace hangers, you can find them in the section with all of the other storage containers.

Kasmira–your closet looks great. Whose foot is that in the lower right corner of the picture?

Brilliant Kasmira! This is what I’m talking about. I’ll be addressing how to save your bras next week and your point about molded cups getting squashed in tiny drawers is a very good one.

I love your sushi/chopstick box idea Nicole. Can you show us what it looks like?

ahhh! I have just been contemplating this very problem. Very simple solution-thank you!

Another idea, that I have found works very well is a towel bar.
I got a lovely brushed pewter one that matches a mirror that hangs on the wall & then the necklaces look like art!
The only thing is that you have clasp & unclasp them to get them on & off.

Excellent ideas!

I managed to find a jewelery box at a garage sale that takes care of this problem. It’s shaped sort of like a miniature wardrobe with woven lattice doors. Behind the doors one side has little drawers for rings and earrings, and behind the other door is a tall open compartment with tiny hooks around the top. It works great for hanging necklaces on, although I wish it were a little taller as my longer necklaces tend to pool at the bottom.

Awesome! I have been looking for something for my necklaces that doesn’t take up counter space! Thanks!

Urban outfitters has some really pretty/funky jewelry stands. I have a swan stand for my earrings and am keen on getting the little birch stand for necklaces. For now my necklaces are hanging on my lamp. Not exactly aesthetically pleasing, but I don’t feel like I have enough necklaces to justify getting them a home.

That’s so pretty Maya. My necklaces are quite heavy and I fear that the dear little tree would fall over if I draped my chunky pieces over those delicate branches, but it’s perfect for dainty jewelry though. A lamp might be not be ideal for necklace storage, but at least they’re visible!

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.

These are fabulous ideas Marlene. Keep them coming!

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for all of the ideas they helped me brainstorm…I used a pants hanger from the cleaners (with the cardboard tube) and hot glued tiny pompoms about an inch apart to create spaces for 16 necklaces. I made 4 of these quickly and can hang them in my closet or on the wall close to my closet, very handy.

These are all great ideas for hanging jewelry! I have been going crazy for months trying to come up with something. The only problem is that I do not want them on display, nor do I have any closet wall space or back of the door space. I found some VERY EXPENSIVE long/narrow wall mounted jewelry cabinets online, but can’t purchase any due to price. I was thinking about cork boards, or even saw those hooks at Target. But once again, I need something with doors around it so it’s not displayed. I went to a few stores looking for a thin medicine cabinet or bathroom storage cabinet- but most were huge or expensive. I already have a mirror in my bedroom and this will be mounted close to the mirror, so some medicine cabinets weren’t appropriate anyway. SUGGESTIONS??????? THANKS!!!!
