One idea would be to build a scaled down coat rack of sorts. A Caseydoll single narrow piece of wood would suffice, perhaps a nice species: walnut, Registered User cherry or an exotic species. The hangers could be as simple as nails, but Joined: Friday, 28th of May 2010, 04:22:14 knobs or hooks would probably look nicer. Here is a link to some brass Posts: 1040 knobs & necklace hangers that might give you some ideas: Viewed 11062 times

Depending on the style you're looking for, antique nails could also work.

Or even decorative thumb tacks, which could be used with either a soft
wood or cork board. Here is a sampling of what you can find:

This might work for you- Get a long, wide piece of ribbon- at ChiChi least 2 1/2 to 3 feet long. On half of the ribbon, you are going to make a Registered User knots in the ribbon every 1 inch. The rest of the ribbon you will leave Joined: Sunday, 2nd of May 2010, 13:00:29 un-knotted. If you want a place for rings too, simply tie another couple Posts: 504 pieces of ribbon on. Decide where you want to hang the ribbon on ur wall, Viewed 4137 times & attach both ends to the wall- either with a nail, a hook, or whatever
you have that will hold it- be sure to hang so that there is a little
slack in the ribbon. Now, to hang ur necklaces, unclasp them & then clasp
them around the ribbon- putting one necklace in each knotted area. For
earrings, just poke the earrings through the ribbon on the other half. If
you want to store rings & bracelets as well, just string one of the
hanging ribbons through & tie off.
Here is a link to a picture I made of it- not very good, I warn you, but
should help you to get an idea of what I am talking about

1) You could use a cork board. You can use a light colored Running Bare board or use some fabric to cover it & hot glue it around the edges. Then Registered User put in large push pins in a orderly fashion for hanging ur necklaces. Joined: Monday, 31st of May 2010, 14:22:37 Posts: 810 Hoop earrings can be paired up & hung on a smaller push pin. As for other Viewed 13258 times types of earrings, consider getting small, clear plastic pouches to hold
them & pin the pouches onto the board.
2) You can get a pegboard
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perforated_hardboard#Typical_dimensions_and_layout)
& paint it a light color. Then you can attach different kinds of hooks for
ur jewelry. The pegboard & hooks can be found hardware stores.
