    No rack.   I bend wire...stainless is best.  Then hang the jewelry
    off hooks made from the same wire. No interference and the pieces
    don't scratch. Hangers or any thick wire will do. I use the stainless
    wires that are inside an old windshield wiper (to keep them stiff)
    and bent them to shape. Hangers will tend to rust.  Plastic coated
    wire is pretty nice too...I chopped up one of those little garden hoop
    fences for plastic coated hooks. (green or white)   Ring bending
    pliers will help you shape them.
