Once you have established what you are keeping, it’s time to decide how to organise your jewellery.
Jewellery Boxes & Storage
Jewellery Box: Jewellery boxes are a traditional way to store your most-loved pieces. They come in many different shapes and sizes. While most have drawers for smaller jewellery like earrings and bracelets, larger jewellery boxes have compartments on the side to hang necklaces and larger bracelets.
Jewellery Stand: Jewellery stands are a great option for all types of jewellery. Stands can act as decor by showing off your different collections. Earring stands will keep you from losing your favourite studs or hoops, while necklace and bracelet stands will allow your jewellery to hang loosely without getting tangled.
Ring Holder: A ring holder can help prevent you from losing your rings when you take them off. losing them. Be sure to place them in areas in your home where you take your rings off most often, like near the kitchen sink or on your nightstand. Ring holders come in many different styles and can make great gifts for friends, family members and brides-to-be.
Trinket Dish: A trinket dish is the perfect place for you to store smaller, everyday jewellery. Keep one on your nightstand to allow you to take your earrings or rings off before bed without the worry of losing them. You can also use a trinket dish to keep an extra hair tie, lip balm or even your car keys safe.
Watch Box: Use a watch box to keep your watches organised and dust-free. Keeping your watches in a box will help ensure none of your favourite watches get damaged or lost. Opt for a locking watch box to keep your valuable pieces safe. Depending on the style you choose, it can double as a piece of decor on your dresser.
Cufflink Box: Cufflink boxes keep your cufflinks all in one place. Cufflinks are small and get lost easily. Keeping your cufflinks organised in a box will let you see your whole collection at once, letting you choose the right pair for your occasion.
Travel Case:Going on a trip? Avoid tangled, lost or damaged jewelry by using a jewellery travel case for your favourite pieces. Travel cases can easily fit into your suitcase and have different compartments for different types of jewellery.
Jewellery Organiser Tray: Store your everyday pieces in an organiser tray. Most trays are long enough to lay out necklaces, and some trays come with compartments for rings and earrings. Keep your jewellery tray visible on your dresser so you can easily grab and go, or tuck it into a drawer to keep it out of view.
Tip: If you want to use some of your decorative jewellery as decor on your wall, hang up wall hooks to show off your favourite pieces.
Freestanding: Use a freestanding armoire as a stylish accent piece in your bedroom or nestled snugly away in your closet or bathroom. Freestanding armoires have different compartments and drawers, allowing you to store all different types of jewellery. If you want extra security to keep your jewellery safe, opt for an armoire that comes with locking capabilities.
Wall Mounted: Most wall mounted armoires come with a mirror, making them a go-to option for rooms with little floor space. The mirror opens up to upholstered hooks, racks and shelves where you can safely store your jewellery.
Over-The-Door: Similar to wall mounted armoires, over-the-door armoires are great for saving floor space. Choose a door in a room that you get ready in often, like your bathroom, closet or bedroom.
Tip: You can also use shoe organisers on the back of a door to organise and store your larger jewellery. Opt for costume jewellery over finer jewellery, as it tends to be sturdier and less likely to tangle in the shoe slots. Use a clear shoe organiser so you’ll be able to see all of your pieces at once.
