The cylinders 104 are broken into segments 200 and secured together magnetically allowing a user to pull apart and reposition the magnetic segments 200, as needed. The cylinders 104 can be broken into any suitable number of magnetic segments 200 as is known in the art depending on the needs and/or wants of a user. The magnetic segments 200 can be any suitable length as is known in the art. In some embodiments, the magnetic segments 200 are all the same length. In other embodiments, the magnetic segments 200 are different lengths and can be arranged in various configurations.

[0042] Typically, the detachable magnetic segments 200 of the cylinders 104 on the device 100 maintain ease of accessibility to the jewelry 106 stored on the device 100, specifically in the taking off and putting on of the jewelry 106. Further, the detachable magnetic segments 200 of the cylinders 104 prevent the base component 102 from interfering with easy access to the jewelry 106 stored on the device 100.

[0043] In one embodiment, the plurality of cylinders 104 are magnetic 108 and configured into magnetic segments 200 that can be separated and repositioned back together, as needed. Specifically, the magnetic segments 200 contain a ferromagnetic (i.e., such as iron or steel) and/or magnetic element 108 at each of their corresponding ends 202. The position of the magnetic and/or ferromagnetic element 108 in the cylinder 104 segments 200 is preferably such that the magnetic force between the magnetic elements 108 and the ferromagnetic elements of the segment 200 ends 202 provide secure removable attachment of the cylinder 104 segments 200. In one embodiment, the magnetic and/or ferromagnetic elements 108 are housed within the cylinder 104 segments 200, such that they are not visible when the cylinder 104 segments 200 are secured together.
