1. Group pieces together to form a luxurious assemblage. Ah, black and white, petals and pearls - so very Chanel!

2. Add it to a Tablescape. The casually draped turquoise necklace is the perfect finishing touch here.

3. Bedeck a gourd lamp. I stole this trick from that House Beautiful Albert Hadley feature I spoke of above.

4. Dedicate an entire wall! Nails or simple hooks are all you need to achieve this look.

5. Of course, you can do better than nails. Choose special hooks for your jewelry. Don't you just love these double butterflies? They go perfectly with beautiful beads!

7. Along those lines, let your baubles inspire you right alongside those tear sheets and fabric swatches!

8. Take some cues from your favorite boutiques and use a display case. The turquoise frame here really adds some punch and makes it feel like a piece of art on the wall.

9. Think about investing in a serious display system. This one is fit for a museum, and the collector can see her pieces without even opening her drawer.

10. Open your mind to unusual display pieces. These hand molds are the perfect for holding onto strands.

Click on the full size option for this image and look closely. Nicole has utilized a mini tree, a bowl (dangling earrings hang from the sides), a hand and boxes for her jewelry. All together it makes a striking display!

Fabulous ideas- my favorite one is number six. Now I need to start using my jewelry to decorate the house. Thanks!

I've always love "open" display when it comes to jewelry...because I forget it when it's tucked into a "box"...got rid of mine when we moved last time...and now it's all out in the open on my "busts" and architectual sculptures :}

Inspiring ideas! I have my "everyday" earrings hooked over a wine glass, but the rest is stashed away in drawers. I'm going to start bringing a lot more of it out in the open!

I think you read my mind - these are some great ideas. I've been trying to find something "just right" for my house for a month or so now.

As much as I love open display, I have cats who are vandals and thieves. I must remember to keep these things out of their reach.

Thanks for the inspiration. I converted a plate holder to display my jewelry. It works great, looks good, and best of all, my jewelry is easy to see and wear on a daily basis. (OK, it's in my bathroom so I do end up polishing the silver on a regular basis but it only takes a minute with a polishing cloth.)

I hang my jewelry on my favorite candleabra. It's functional, organized, and cute!

These are such awesome ideas. I noticed myself ogling all the clever ways they had jewelry displayed in a boutique today.
