How to keep necklaces from tangling

[debodun]

I was looking through my costume jewelry boxes last evening and it took me almost an hour to untangle the pendant chains. There are hooks in some of the boxes (photos), but the chains are so long, the hooks are useless. I thought of getting snack sized food storage bags and putting one necklace in each bag.

Hanging them up should keep them from tangling. Also, keep the clasps closed when not in use.
I have the long ones hanging on a soft pants style hanger at the end of my closet.
