I received this great gift today to hold necklaces.
It's a large iron tree.
I make long knotted necklaces with beads and beach finds. Shark's teeth that I collect are used on each necklace. They are my signature.

Necklaces
These knotted necklaces were made with Irish Linen Thread. They are 20 inches long and can be shortened by tying a knot in the back. The first one pictured is black, braided with ladder yarn. The shark's teeth are wired in gold and it has a blue bead center. The second shown was made with sage thread, copper wire and beads. A trade bead was used for the center. The third necklace down was made with rust colored thread and gold wire. For the fourth one, I used white thread, silver wire, and turquoise beads. I have made 50 necklaces in total. Each is strung on white, black, sage, blue, or coral colored thread. Various fibers can be added. I wire with copper, gold, or silver wire. All necklaces are for sale for $20.
Hanging inside, strung from branches in an iron basket, the necklaces form a sculpture.
