I use a set of slated closed doors that are repainted, hook earings slide right over the slats and hang nicely, for necklaces a placed small hooks on the doors to hold then, works great and can double as a room divider.

easy to find at your local restore/habitat for humanity style stores.

I have a smaller versio in my bedroom thats a slat window shutter.

Just be sure to have it so the slats go upwards.....

I like the stand from Anthro, especially the glass cover, because it keeps dust off and perhaps slows tarnishing?

and it is classy looking.

as for the cheese grater, i'm gonna keep an eye out for them at thrift stores from now on! spray painted and a good gift!

Love the cheese grater one - I've got about 3 old ones that I don't use but dont like to throw away.  Now I know what to do with them!

I made one from a lamp and a small wire mesh trash can.  Turned the trash can upside down and screwed it on like a lampshade.  Amazing how many pair can be hung on it.  Trash can cost $1.00 and the lamp was an extra unused one.

I love the idea of the glass cover to keep dust out as well, and I bet if you add the strips of the 3m anti tarnish strips, that will keep the silver bright.  Thanks for sharing.

I have a 36inch wire outline of a dress hanging on my wall.  Multiple holes for earrings and I can loop necklaces through it also.  Hobby Lobby had a mannequin wire one that sat on the floor.  Much larger and more costly but would have been great for someone that sells stuff.  

For my non sterling earrings I use a dog or baby stop. It expands in the doorway and stops little ones from entering. I put picture framing sawtooth hangers on the back and hung it on the back of my door. I have about 200 earring pairs on it now & lots of room for more. It expands so there's lots more room to grow.

Years ago I saw someone selling earrings displayed on a fireplace screen at a flea market.  I kept returning to that flea market until I found a sturdy screen to use.  I covered mine with felt so I have to pin the earrings, etc. on because the screen holes are covered.  A friend made me a wooden base to hold the screen and finish off the bottom.  I use it when I sell my jewelry.  Started with all black felt but some beads don't show up well so I changed part of it to white to show off the colors of fire polished crystals.
