If you already have a large collection of chains, it makes sense to go to a jewelry stand or a jewelry tree. Since the jewelry is not airtight and dark in jewelry stands, you should not put it directly on the window.

Alternatively, you can of course also hang your chains on hooks. Hooks attached to the wall are not only practical, but you can also create your very personal jewelry wall with them. Attach your hooks to a cork wall, on the inside of your wardrobe door, to brackets or with the help of adhesive hooks on a wall with beautiful mosaic tiles.

Hanging chains prevents chains from knoting quickly. In particular, very filigree chains should not be kept together in a bowl, otherwise they can knot themselves very quickly.

So it is less likely that they knot yourself than if you put many fine chains side by side.
