My frustration with my mess of disorganized earrings boiled over this weekend. I love to wear earrings but it has to be easy to grab them & put them on or I won’t mess with it. Yesterday morning as I was untangling several pairs, the perfect solution came to me – chains to keep them separated but secure. I used YGF 14ga/7.5mm rings for the main part, RGF 16ga/3.5mm rings as connectors and 14ga/6.0mm for the ones on the ends but the sizes aren’t really important -these are just what I happened to have the most of at the time. I have a stash of small brass screws that I use when I make custom display boxes, so I used those to fasten the finished chain to a white velvet tray insert.

Charlie used 3M picture hanging strips to hang it on the inside of the door to the cabinet where I keep my makeup and stuff so every morning while I’m getting dressed, my nice neat earring collection is hanging there, waiting for me to select the ones I want.

Looks like I need to get busy and make some more to fill this thing up!
