I am a big believer in making organization attractive. A lot of professional organizers out there are just function focused. For example, I just helped a client "prettify" her organization because she had hired a professional organizer years ago who had used all the ugly plastic Walmart containers with white label maker tape. Come on! There are a bizillion options out there so why not take the extra step to make things look nice too. I think the nicer an organized space looks, the more likely you are to maintain it. Ok, stepping down off of my soapbox now...
With all that being said, there are a ton of storage products for organizing jewelry out there but I am not going to talk about them. I want to show you some outside the box ideas. Here goes. If you want to show off your jewelry collection boutique style then keep it all tabletop and make a pleasing vignette like these...

If you prefer to keep your jewelry out of sight try using an antique muffin tins, cupcake molds, ice cube trays or a mismatch of teacups inside dresser drawers. I have been dying to use one of those old print letter trays (perhaps painted) to organize jewelry, they already have all the compartments that would be perfect for rings and earrings! They are even shallow enough that you could layer them inside a dresser.

If you want to display your jewelry on a wall so you can see it and so items doesn't get tangled try one of these options. You can use a custom frame with either chicken wire, picture wire or insert a radiator cover. Easy to make yourself!
