A garment-concealable jewelry case having a front opening with a front cover panel portion that can be either moved or configured to reveal a plurality of parallel-running isolated storage compartments each having an interior storage space which is accessible through a front opening revealed when the front cover panel is removed or reconfigured. Through the front opening of each storage compartment, one or more necklaces, pendants, bracelets or other strands of jewelry can be securely hung on a pair of jewelry support posts adapted for spatial separation on the back wall portion of the storage compartment in order to accommodate the length of jewelry strands being supported. The bottom portion of each parallel-running isolated compartment has a stationary front panel portion which, cooperating with the other wall portions of the storage compartment, provides a five sided stationary storage tray accessible through the opening of the respective storage compartment and within which articles of jewelry such as rings, watches, earrings and/or tie tacks can be placed for organization and storage. The front cover panel has a tray cover panel integrated therewith, which closes off each jewelry storage compartment when the front cover panel is positioned over the access opening formed in the case housing. When the front cover panel is closed, the jewelry support posts contact the rear surface of the front cover panel to prevent supported articles of jewelry from falling off and tossing about within the storage compartment during usage, including travel.
