I bought a plastic thing at the hardware store with a bunch of little places to put things, which works great and was really cheap. I then promptly stopped wearing jewelry again.
Occasionally I'm callous and strange.

I'm having a hell of a time keeping stuff untangled, and I have the whole top of a lingerie chest where they can roam free, or nest in shot glasses or small platters.
The best system I've ever seen was by my friend Fahamisha who is a jewlery maker. She had a pegboard rectangle that she painted black on her wall with small hooks and all of her necklaces were on the hooks. Earrings were kept on a smaller pegboard, but with the posts/earring going through the holes. Rings were in a box. Bracelets? I can't remember where.

I don't have one of these, but I think they're neat. Jewelry armoire
I keep my jewelry from tangling by not having m,uch jewelry so it can all stay in it's original boxes.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Yeah, I have an armoire kind of like that one, along with an earring holder thingie so I don't have to search for matching pairs in a drawer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, the pegboard and hooks is cool. I think the key to saving most of my necklaces is to hang them on hooks.
I decided this morning that I have more necklaces I like than earrings. And I only have the one neck, and the 7 holes pierced in my ears. I'm not sure when that transition happened.
Rainier cherries! I remembered them today! I still want chocolate, but these'll do.

Thanks, Kat.
I have a rectangle of deep burgandy velvet pinned to the wall that I hang my earrings on. I found a wrought iron coathook thingy (multiple hooks) with lots of curlicues on the main panel, and I hang my necklaces all over that. It's kind of full now, though.

My question regarding pegboard, is what do you do with hoop earrings? And little ones? My earrings are just in a box.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh my, grep is fast. It can search 10,000 posts (5,446,223 bytes) pretty much instantaneously.
Here is the results from just a single thread (Natter 36):

dog 195
kitten 108

I bet it'd just take a few seconds to search half a million posts....

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hey -- how do people store their jewelry?
I have a piece of black velvet laid across my lingerie armoire, with everything laid out on top of it. It requires re-organizing (read: tidying) every two months or so, but it's all right there. My daily rings have their own special spot up in front, with my most-worn earrings right next to them. I don't wear necklaces all that often (never to work), so I don't have to worry about laying them out each time. The least-worn stuff gets rotated into a red silk box.
