Six pairs of earrings in an organized storage box would make a great present. I was going to make some bracelet holders. I think more people wear earrings than bracelets.

Even the residents of nursing homes love to wear jewelry. But it's so hard for them to put on. Ear wires make it easier for them and less time consuming for the nurses/cna's to put them on. Can you come up with an idea for storing them so they don't get lost? That's one of the main problems in nursing homes. Little pieces of jewelry without some sort of storage get lost easily. And there's usually not enough room for a large jewelry box. That’s a great idea. Even the residents of nursing homes love to wear jewelry. But it’s so hard for them to put on.

I'm not fond of those tiny clasps either. Good point about the jewelry staying secure, Gina.

I don't have time! I received a commemorative necklace from my workplace 2 years ago and it has the tiniest clasp - nearly impossible to open easily regardless of age. Your tip is a good one - also, we want our jewelry to stay secure without too much of a bother too.

I also prefer hooks to other types of earrings, but I don't have any reason for it! Good reminder for jewelry-makers!
