I've been looking at possibly getting a jewellery tree or stand but want something really modern and it's difficult to find one!
How do you all store your jewellery?
I find that with my jewellery in a box I sometimes forget what I have but am worried it may get damaged if I "hang" it up.

Yes! 
Thank you for starting this thread! I just re-organized my vanity area (with inspiration from the "How do you store your makeup?" thread in the makeup area) and I had moved onto wondering about re-organizing my jewelry as well... as I would like to redo that as well!
I will take some pics later today of how I currently have things, but I am hoping people will have ideas about storing costume jewelry vs. fine jewelry - if you keep them separate or just have them all mixed in together?

I store my higher end pieces in the metal traveller's case with the velvet lined trays, and my 'everyday' jewelry in three regular leather cases based on gold type (White, Yellow, other [Rose, black, brown, multi-colour])

I currently have a very nice wooden jewelry box that my SO gave me, and I keep alot in there. I keep my Cartier and my Tiffany in their respective pouches/boxes.
I keep my stuff in a large gun safe, that has been customized with shelves into my valuables safe. Hubby sold his guns a few years back, and no longer needed the safe, so he gave it to me (you know the joke about the 800lb gorilla in the corner? That's what this thing is--literally 700-800lbs, and in the corner!). He built sturdy plywood adjustable shelves, I covered them with faux-suede fabric. I bought white plastic jeweler's trays (meant to fit in in safes, I think) for about $1.89 each, when bought in bulk. I made compartments in each tray using the flocked velvet trays that are made for these, and the small gift boxes the jewelry comes in. I sorted each gemstone by type, and labeled the ends of the trays--ruby, emerald, etc.; if I slide them toward me, they are like drawers (and they stack).
The inside of the door is covered in a beige velvet--came with the safe. I hang chains and pins on that. I used safety pins to hang the chains, and made 2 wide ribbon hangers, pinned to the door, to hang brooches on.
No, I don't have it filled up with jewelry just yet!
But, I'm working on it!
