    Well, along the same line as my previous post, I store jump rings in
    small plastic baggies (sorted by wire gauge, inner dimension and
    outer dimension) and put each baggie inside a trading card sleeve (I
    put individual cabochons in slide sleeves), then many sleeves go in a
    report cover and the report cover goes in a plastic storage drawer.
    It would work with clasps too, but at the moment I'm still using the
    hardware drawers like you do. 

    After my last post, I combined two systems, putting my wire in page
    protector sleeves, wrote the type and gauge of the wire on the white
    3 ring binding and filed in an accordion file. Works really well.
    More than one type of wire can go in each file separation and yet
    they're still in separate sleeve containers and the label is really
    easy to see. 

    Love those plastic see through sleeves! I'm a small business, so
    those with more supplies will find my method fussy, but it works
    great for me.
