Notably, each of the first outer transparent sheet and the second outer transparent sheet includes a plurality of transparent pockets configured to store and display the jewelry therein. A fastener is attached to the first outer transparent sheet and the second outer transparent sheet. A handle section is attached to the second outer transparent sheet and configured to be selectively displaced between extended and retracted positions relative to the first outer transparent sheet and the second outer transparent sheet. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A jewelry organizer for storing and displaying jewelry, said jewelry organizer comprising: a binder including a plurality of rings spaced apart along a linear axis, a first outer transparent sheet removably attached to said rings and having a first inner longitudinal side registered parallel to the linear axis, a second outer transparent sheet removably attached to said rings and having a second inner longitudinal side registered parallel to the linear axis, wherein each of said first outer transparent sheet and said second outer transparent sheet includes a plurality of transparent pockets configured to store and display the jewelry therein, a fastener attached to said first outer transparent sheet and said second outer transparent sheet, wherein said fastener is configured to be selectively zipped and unzipped between closed and open positions, respectively, and a handle section attached to said second outer transparent sheet and configured to be selectively displaced between extended and retracted positions relative to said first outer transparent sheet and said second outer transparent sheet. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The jewelry organizer of claim 1, wherein said handle section comprises: a compartment statically affixed to an inner surface of said second outer transparent sheet, said compartment having an open side faced towards the linear axis and registered parallel thereto; and a U-shaped handle configured to be linearly inserted and removed from said compartment. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The jewelry organizer of claim 2, wherein said U-shaped handle traverses the linear axis and laterally extends beyond said second inner longitudinal side of said second outer transparent sheet. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The jewelry organizer of claim 3, wherein when said first outer transparent sheet is affixed to said second outer transparent sheet and when said U-shaped handle is removed from said compartment, said U-shaped handle is exposed exterior of each said first inner longitudinal side and said second inner longitudinal side. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The jewelry organizer of claim 4, wherein when said first outer transparent sheet is affixed to said second outer transparent sheet and when said U-shaped handle is inserted into said compartment, said U-shaped handle is hidden interior of each said first inner longitudinal side and said second inner longitudinal side. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The jewelry organizer of claim 5, wherein said U-shaped handle has a central portion registered parallel to the linear axis as well as each said first inner longitudinal side and said second inner longitudinal side. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The jewelry organizer of claim 2, wherein said compartment and said U-shaped handle are intermediately disposed between selected ones of said rings. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) The jewelry organizer of claim 2, wherein said compartment and said U-shaped handle are arranged in a planar configuration registered parallel to said first outer transparent sheet and said second outer transparent sheet at both said closed and open positions. ### Claim 9 A jewelry organizer for storing and displaying jewelry, said jewelry organizer comprising: a portable multi-ring binder including a plurality of coextensively shaped rings spaced apart along a linear axis, a first outer transparent sheet removably attached to said rings and having a first inner longitudinal side registered parallel to the linear axis, a second outer transparent sheet removably attached to said rings and having a second inner longitudinal side registered parallel to the linear axis, wherein each of said first outer transparent sheet and said second outer transparent sheet includes a plurality of transparent pockets configured to store and display the jewelry therein, a fastener attached to said first outer transparent sheet and said second outer transparent sheet, wherein said fastener is configured to be selectively zipped and unzipped between closed and open positions, respectively, and a handle section attached to said second outer transparent sheet and configured to be selectively displaced between extended and retracted positions relative to said first outer transparent sheet and said second outer transparent sheet. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The jewelry organizer of claim 9, wherein said handle section comprises: a compartment statically affixed to an inner surface of said second outer transparent sheet, said compartment having an open side faced towards the linear axis and registered parallel thereto; and a U-shaped handle configured to be linearly inserted and removed from said compartment. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The jewelry organizer of claim 10, wherein said U-shaped handle traverses the linear axis and laterally extends beyond said second inner longitudinal side of said second outer transparent sheet. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The jewelry organizer of claim 11, wherein when said first outer transparent sheet is affixed to said second outer transparent sheet and when said U-shaped handle is removed from said compartment, said U-shaped handle is exposed exterior of each said first inner longitudinal side and said second inner longitudinal side. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The jewelry organizer of claim 12, wherein when said first outer transparent sheet is affixed to said second outer transparent sheet and when said U-shaped handle is inserted into said compartment, said U-shaped handle is hidden interior of each said first inner longitudinal side and said second inner longitudinal side. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The jewelry organizer of claim 13, wherein said U-shaped handle has a central portion registered parallel to the linear axis as well as each said first inner longitudinal side and said second inner longitudinal side. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The jewelry organizer of claim 10, wherein said compartment and said U-shaped handle are intermediately disposed between selected ones of said rings. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The jewelry organizer of claim 10, wherein said compartment and said U-shaped handle are arranged in a planar configuration registered parallel to said first outer transparent sheet and said second outer transparent sheet at both said closed and open positions. ### Claim 17 A method of utilizing a jewelry organizer for storing and displaying jewelry, said method comprising: providing a portable multi-ring binder by performing the following sub-steps providing and spacing apart a plurality of coextensively shaped rings along a linear axis; providing a first outer transparent sheet having a first inner longitudinal side; removably attaching said first outer transparent sheet to said rings thereby registering said first inner longitudinal side parallel to the linear axis; providing a second outer transparent sheet having a second inner longitudinal side; removably attaching said second outer transparent sheet to said rings thereby registering said second inner longitudinal side parallel to the linear axis; wherein each of said first outer transparent sheet and said second outer transparent sheet includes a plurality of transparent pockets configured to store and display the jewelry therein; providing and attaching a fastener to said first outer transparent sheet and said second outer transparent sheet; providing and attaching a handle section to said second outer transparent sheet; providing, storing and displaying jewelry inside said transparent pockets; selectively zipping and unzipping said fastener between closed and open positions; and selectively displacing said handle section between extended and retracted positions relative to said first outer transparent sheet and said second outer transparent sheet.
