A plurality of jewelry fixtures are configured to be removably attached to the front surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate. Each jewelry fixture has at least one permanent magnet and a jewelry holding structure. The at least one permanent magnet of each jewelry fixture is magnetically attracted to the ferromagnetic planar substrate. At least one of the plurality of jewelry fixtures is a ring holding structure, a bracelet holding structure, an earring holding structure, a necklace holding structure, a watch holding structure, a bowl structure or a shelf structure.
