How do you keep your jewellry?

I can't spell jewelry any more. The ability to spell jewellry is one of the casualties of living in America. What's more, I can't remember whether the spellchecker on this computer is British English or American English, so I don't know whether to over-ride its opinion or not. Sometimes it's hard being me.

Anyway, how do you keep your jewellry? That's not code for some gynaecological problem for which I want advice. I just don't know how to keep jewellry. These issues come into focus when you move house. Storage options suddenly rise to the top of your agenda, and you find yourself in IKEA too often for your health.

Lots of little boxes? One big box? Tree-like thing to hang items from? What works for you? I'm 48, and I have to say, I've never been happy with whatever I've done in the past. It's time to find a solution.

I once made myself a necklace and bracelet holder, which Blue Peter presenters would have been proud of. I made it out of a brown corrugated cardboard envelope, which a calendar had been packaged in. I glued some old felt inside, and then used map pins to fasten the necklaces and bracelets in, one pin at each end. When I opened the cardboard folder up, there they were, all lined up. They never got tangled. It was genius. It only worked for chains, though. Chunky jewellry still had to be in random boxes elsewhere. And ear-rings. It didn't work for ear-rings. I threw it away when we moved to America. I should probably have sent it to Blue Peter instead, and now my daughter would be making me another secretly for Christmas.

Seriously though. How do you keep your jewellry?

PS There's an 'e' in there somewhere, isn't there?
