Earring and brooch organizer

Abstract

Herein described is a device for organizing earrings and brooches. The device differs from conventional jewelry boxes in that it provides a greater surface area over which to spread the stored jewelry items. The device comprises a strip of fabric folded to form a front layer and a rear layer, at least one strip of eyelet lace joined to the fabric, and means for suspending the organizing device onto another object. The stems of earrings pierce either the front layer or rear layer of fabric, and the backs are attached in between the layers. In the event that the backs of the earrings fall, a closed bottom fold between the layers of fabric catches the backs and thereby prevents them from being lost. Earrings with clips or wire hoops are readily attached to the strip or strips of eyelet lace. In the preferred embodiment, a vinyl hanger serves as the means for suspending the device onto another object.
