Form and Function

I have an abundance of jewelry. You would say of course you, don't you design jewelry? and I would nod and go, Yes, you're right. But when you think about all the things I make - one of a kinds, trial runs,  embarrassing rejects - they sneak up on you and accumulate and then suddenly you have a collection. A huge collection. And as silly as it seems, I actually do not have a single solitary good place to put them, to keep them from getting tangled, stretched out, knotted, or tarnished. I am a horrible person. Currently I am debating on which type of holder I should have: a wall holder, a tray, a drawer? The proverbial list goes on and on. So I ask you: Which type of holder do you use for your jewelry? A saucer, ring mandrel, a branch from outside? Did you have it custom designed? Please tell me which works for you and why?

  1. I actually use wall hooks--a towel-hanger of sorts, with six or so wall hooks attached to a piece of wood. It works well for keeping all my long and short necklaces separate and untangled, and I can stack rings or bracelets up top. :)
