It’s happened to all of us: you’re rushing to get out the door for a night with friends. You feel great, your hair is cooperating, and you’ve already texted that you’re on the way (a little white lie never hurt anyone). It’s time for a finishing touch as you check your reflection in the mirror, something sparkly. You reach for your earrings and…where’s the other one? Sure, the one-earring trend is in, but not with these hoops! How about your favorite necklace? Tangled with that beaded piece your aunt gave you from her trip to the Canary Islands! Now you’re awkwardly sitting on your sofa with your smartphone flashlight held gingerly between your teeth as you try to unknot your delicate gold chain. This could have been avoided, if you’d just stored your jewels properly!
Types of jewelry storage and jewelry organization
Jewelry box
A jewelry box can be as big or small as you want. It typically has a lid and a few spaces for different types of jewelry, such as rings, necklaces, and even watches.
Jewelry roll
A jewelry roll rolls up and usually ties together or is wrapped with an elasticated band. They are ideal for keeping in your bag or suitcase for travel, as they take up little space and are soft. Jewelry rolls often include removable, zippered pockets or snap buttons so that your pieces don’t fall out in transit.
Jewelry dish
Is there anything more charming than a jewelry dish positioned next to the bed or on the bathroom countertop, overflowing with bits of shimmering precious stones and gold? If you wear jewelry every day, having these dishes around your home is so useful for when you wash your hands or go to sleep. Having a dedicated place where you know your daily jewelry ensures that nothing gets lost. Any dish will do, of course, but finding one that really suits your style adds a touch of glamor to your decor.
Jewelry rack
A rack for your jewelry can include earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. If you find that your necklaces frequently get tangled, a rack with hooks is an excellent solution. This is a lovely way to store your jewelry so that you can see it all at once; we recommend using this for daily jewelry that you want to rotate often.
Jewelry drawer
For those with enough space, consider a jewelry drawer. This is a drawer fitted with all the organizers that a typical jewelry box would have, but expanded into a full drawer. Like a rack or a box, a jewelry drawer makes it easy to see your pieces at once so you can choose what you want to wear, and it also tucks away neatly for those who prefer a more minimalist interior.
However you choose to store your jewelry, make sure it aligns with your space, your style, and your life. Jewelry is meant to bring happiness and beauty to your world; your jewelry storage should do the same!Â
