A coilable storage device for retaining an article comprising: a metal spring strip, and a piece of material extending across the metal spring strip, wherein the metal spring strip is a relatively thin, elongated piece of metal material having a first end, a second end, a first side edge, and a second side edge. The metal spring strip has an internal lateral bias for maintaining an opened position wherein the metal spring strip is substantially straight longitudinally from the first end to the second end and has a transverse arch from the first side edge to the second side edge. The metal spring strip further has an internal longitudinal bias for maintaining a closed position wherein the metal spring strip is substantially arcuate longitudinally from the first end to the second end and is substantially straight transversely from the first side edge to the second side edge. The metal spring strip is movable from the opened position to the closed position. The piece of material extends across a bottom portion of the metal spring strip opposite the upper portion and is secured to the upper portion of the metal spring strip along the first side edge, the second side edge, and the second end, thereby defining a pocket at the first end when the metal spring strip is placed in the opened position. The pocket allows a user to store an article, such as jewelry therein and keeps the article securely positioned and stored by placing the metal spring strip into the closed position, thereby compressing the article between the metal spring strip and the material extending across the bottom portion. |
