Having an organized jewellery collection really helps to make finding your favorite pieces so much easier everyday, not to mention it helps to ensure that none of your precious jewellery gets tangled or damaged at all. No matter how you currently store your jewellery, we’re here to give you some wonderful inspiration for your collection moving forwards. Give everything a good clean first and then get started!
Start By Emptying Everything Out
The best way to start any organizing task is to empty everything out of your jewellery box, or your current storage solution. If anything is meant to come in a pair, make sure you keep them together, or create a pile of spares that you may find you can gradually match up. If anything is tangled, spend some time gently untangling it (any really stuck pieces can be taken to a professional to untangle if necessary). This is also a good opportunity to give some of your jewellery a good clean, just make sure that you leave it to dry fully (hanging overnight ideally) so that you prevent any moisture entering your jewellery box. Lay everything out on your dresser or on a tray and it will make the next stages of your organizing so much easier.
Color Code
Our first tip when it comes to organizing your jewellery collection is to color code! We often find that when you put an outfit on, you automatically know what kind of color you need to go for. So, when you have all of the colors together, you can pick out what kind of jewellery will go best with the silhouette of your outfit. Let’s look at an example. So, you put on a black dress with black heels and instantly think that something silver and sparkly will look perfect. Then you consider the neckline of the dress, so you look in the silver section for something that will suit that perfectly. From here, you can continue to go through your silver collection to find the perfect fit.
So, in your collection, keep your gold, silver and rose gold jewellery in separate sections. If you like more bold and colorful jewellery, create a rainbow type layout with a strip or section for each color you have. This won’t take long at all but will actually make picking out your jewellery each day fun!
Get An Earring Organizer
Our next tip is to get yourself an earring organizer. We’re big believers that you can make the most of what you already have when it comes to organizing, however one thing worth investing in is an earring organizers. This will help to make sure each pair of earrings has their own compartment, to stop anything getting tangled or damaged. You can get cheaper plastic ones, decorative wooden ones or classy glass ones, but they all do the same job so just focus on finding one for your budget.
It’s also worth keeping a stash of earring backs in your organizer for emergencies, as we all know how easily they can go missing! You can carry on with the color coding as mentioned in the last section, keeping all of the types of metals or colors together. Or, you could organize them based on the type of earring, with one section for flat back earrings, one for earring charms, one for dangly earrings and one for studs. The world is your oyster when it comes to this, but having an organizer will make everything so much easier.
