    Abstract: A jewelry carrier, for storing and transporting chain-like jewelry such as necklaces, comprising a base, a plurality of pegs arranged in peg rows extending from the base, and a plurality of hook carriers, each having two or more hooks. The hook carriers are each aligned with one of the peg rows. The hook carriers are capable of slidable movement toward and away from its corresponding peg row. The hook carriers are spring biased away from the pegs. Necklaces are initially placed around one of the pegs in one of the peg rows. The corresponding hook carrier is slid toward that peg row, and the necklace is placed around one of the hooks. The hook carrier is then released, the hook carrier slides away from the peg row, thereby tensioning the necklace between the hook and the peg.
