Finding the right jewelry storage solution is important, whether you have a modest jewelry collection, a large number of inherited pieces, or the world's most expensive gemstones.
Organizing your jewelry makes it simpler to actually see the pieces in your collection, which enhances the possibility of actually wearing the items in your collection. It's a lot harder to locate the ring or bangle you want to wear to that fancy dinner when your jewelry is a jumbled mess!
Keeping your jewelry safe and secure, knowing which pieces need to be cleaned, and keeping track of your collection may all help you prevent having your valuables stolen or misplaced. Here are some ideas to help you organize your precious stones!
Designate a drawer for your jewelry
Put your jewelry away in its own drawer in your dresser or chest of drawers. Shallow drawers are recommended since it’s much easier to keep them tidy. To keep your necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and other jewelry items neatly organized, use a drawer organizer with a variety of sized slots. To maximize your jewelry storage, you may put another jewelry tray on top of the drawer if there is room.
Go through your collection
Put all of your jewelry in one central location and begin to categorize it. Sort your jewelry into different boxes depending on the piece and the event you’d wear it to. For example, more fancy emerald jewellery should go into one pile, while simple gold hoops for everyday wear should go into another. Check each item for signs of wear and damage, then put aside the pieces that will need to be polished or fixed.
Hang your jewelry on hooks
It might be challenging to fit all of your jewels into one drawer or find a jewelry organizer that can handle all of your pieces, particularly if you have a large quantity of costume jewelry or very long necklaces. Instead, you might have a DIY evening and use hooks and chains to display your jewelry. You can display your collection openly for everyone to see, or you can attach it to the inside of a door or the back of a closet to keep it out of sight.
To make a necklace and bracelet rack, just screw a few thin strips of wood into the wall and connect little hooks to the wood. You can also nail a heavy chain to the wall and then hook your earrings into the chain for an easy DIY display.
Ring dishes can be a gorgeous jewelry display
Use ring dishes as a decorative accent to store jewelry. You don’t have to have them all in your room. As ring dishes can be extremely pretty on their own, you can place multiple all around the house for a quick decor spruce-up.
Have a jewelry box for your staple items
Whenever you remove your everyday jewelry to go to sleep, you should pay special attention to storing it properly. Many people simply dump their pieces on the nightstand, where they may become tangled and easily lost. Therefore, make sure to have a jewelry storage box for your most used items where it’s most convenient. For example, have one on your bathroom counter or on your nightstand. This will keep them safe until morning. In this case, a little quartz box or acrylic jar would be just right!
Proudly display your accessories
Give each collectible its own place so that pieces don't get mixed up, lost, or thrown away. Use display cases made specifically for jewelry to showcase your watches, bracelets, and necklaces. Having a visual inventory of your possessions can help you keep track of them and notice if anything goes missing. Stack broad bracelets and chunky bangles on a standing paper towel holder or the neck of a bottle for a simple do-it-yourself jewelry organizer.
Have a DIY display
You can make your own jewelry organizers by covering a cork bulletin board with patterned fabric and attaching it to a frame with decorative mesh or metal screening. Earring wires may be hooked through the holes in the screen, and pearl-topped pushpins can be used to display necklaces. Bracelet holders and split trays are handy accessories to have on hand, so set one up on a nearby dresser or counter to keep track of your rings and earrings.
Have a box for mismatched earrings
If you didn’t have your jewelry organized that well in the past, it’s highly likely that you’ve lost a couple of earrings. Don’t throw them all out immediately. Instead, have a box in which you’ll keep all of your mismatched ones. You never know when you’ll accidentally find a piece and complete a pair. You can also have another box for the items that need to be repaired. This way, you’ll keep your primary collection free of clutter.
We hope that these tips have helped you organize your jewelry. Even if your collection isn’t as expensive or numerous, it’s still important to keep it safe.
