Storage pouches ideal for securing loose and relatively formless items such as necklaces, chains, earrings, and other personal jewelry, including storage pouches comprised of a flexible sheet of material that may be optionally fashioned with pre-formed channels for securing chains and ropes. The storage pouch is closed by folding it in upon itself, and securing it shut with one or more removable fasteners. Other embodiments include pouch material without pre-formed channels, but first folding in to form the channels, then folding upon itself to be secured shut.
