The Best Necklace Holders

If you own necklaces, then you've probably experienced the dreaded tangling. This has to be the most frustrating experience of trying to untangle the web of chains and baubles. One way to remedy that is with a necklace holder. This is a functional, but also stylish way to show your necklaces the love they deserve. Organizing necklaces keeps them tangle-free but it also looks great on any vanity or countertop. And the styles for necklace holders can vary from sleek steel to trendy acrylic to rustic wood. Whatever you choose, your necklaces will thank you. Here are our top 5 favorites.

Umbra Trigem Necklace Holder

Your precious necklaces deserve a pretty holder like this one from Umbra. It features a three-tier design with the highest tier measuring 19 inches tall. You can easily hang any super long or even really short necklaces without fear of them becoming a tangled mess. In addition to keeping your necklaces beautifully displayed and organized, the base of the holder has a catch-all tray. This can be a convenient spot for other jewelry like rings, small earrings, or even a place for your keys.

Pros:

The gold bars have a luxe look
The base of the stand is padded so no need to worry about your counter or dresser getting scratched up

Cons:

Since the tallest bar measures 19 inches high, it’s not ideal for spaces where you don’t have a lot of overhead space

Jackcube Design Wall Hanging Necklace Holder

While many necklace holders are probably displayed on your dresser or vanity, a wall-mounted option is absolutely perfect if you’re low on space. It’s also a great choice if you’re a bit clumsy and don’t want to have to worry about knocking the holder over. You can pretty much mount this anywhere as it measures less than 17 inches long and just 3 inches wide. The bottom of the holder has 25 hooks, one per necklace, or you can even add a few necklaces of varying lengths to a single hook. An added bonus is the tray on top that can hold small accessories, glasses, or nail polish.

Pros:

The installation is easy and takes just minutes
The tray is magnetized so it can easily be removed and securely attached again

Cons:

Your necklaces can get tangled if you overload the hooks

Umbra Orchid Jewelry Hanging Tree Stand

It’s unfair to simply call this a necklace holder because it seriously looks like a piece of stylish decor. This option from Umbra is shaped like a tree, with small branches you can hang necklaces from. But also, peep the dish underneath. Keeping with the tree-theme, the dish is shaped like an adorable leaf. This is the perfect place to store smaller items. The holder’s gunmetal finish would look gorgeous pretty much anywhere and it compliments a ton of decor styles.

Pros:

Made of durable, sturdy steel
The stems are spaced out enough, which cuts down on necklaces tangling or even coming in contact with one another

Cons:

The height of the stand isn’t ideal if you have a lot of extremely long necklaces

Mocca Wooden Freestanding Necklace Holder

There’s something sleek and modern about a metal finish, but for a truly rustic feel, you can’t go wrong with this wooden necklace holder. There’s a chance that even your most stylish friends won’t have a display that’s this unique. The easel measures just over 16 inches high and has seven notches where you can stack necklaces. The display is just so classy, it easily looks like it would belong in a high-end boutique. If you have thinner necklaces or chokers, this holder is a perfect pick.

Pros:

Pegs in back of the board hold necklaces of varying heights in place
The base of the holder is sturdy without taking up a ton of space

Cons:

The wood can have a rougher feel, versus a smooth finish

Stori Clear Plastic Necklace Holder

When you want to save a few bucks (and who doesn’t?) but still want to display your jewelry in style, this Stori necklace holder is a clear winner. Clear, get it? The clear plastic stand has the acrylic look that’s oh so popular and visually pleasing. The stand holds an impressive 30 necklaces. It’s not just the number of necklaces it can store, but the design is high enough that necklaces up to 24 inches long can be hung without them touching the base.

Pros:

The top of the holder has a finger loop, so it’s easy to transport from one space to the next
The tray at the base of the holder is divided into four compartments, keeping your smaller items organized

Cons:

Be sure to balance the weight on both sides, otherwise, the holder can tip over
