Using Jewelry Storage Ideas To Organize Better

By Scott Hill


Some people feel that no look is complete without an accessory or two. Often a person will have a collection of things like scarves and hats but smaller pieces can be harder to keep track of, especially when there is a set containing two or more items. Anyone with a large collection should consider jewelry storage ideas for easier organization.

This may seem like an arduous task but having a system will serve several purposes. For one, it will prevent pieces from getting lost. Sometimes people will buy duplicates of one item over time because they could not find it the last time they took a peek inside their closet or dresser. So this can save money and time spent inside stores or shopping online.

Depending on the space and personality, there are different ways to organize a space. For instance, old shoe boxes can be used as storage and labeled with what type of jewelry is inside. One box could be used for earrings or necklaces and if there are a lot of delicate pieces, small plastic bags can be used to provide a cushion of sorts. Clear jewelry bags can be found at craft supply stores or small sealable sandwich bags may be used.

Because there is no one way to organize, other sorting ideas may include colors, metal or styles. One may want to keep casual jewelry separate from their fine pieces. One good idea is to keep items in need of repair in a separate bag so they may be replaced or fixed by a professional.

Bags can also be used to match jewelry sets with outfits. When some people are getting ready to start their day, it helps to know that everything they need is accessible as opposed to having to dig around for it in a rush. For people who like to try out different looks, this organizing method may not be as much fun.

For the person with a small selection or pieces that are small in size, jewelry boxes are ideal. Many are decorative and the compartment space makes it easy to find earrings and others that are easy to lose. Some jewelry boxes come with a locking feature and there are even models ideal for traveling.

Jewelry hangers are great for those with large pieces or lack the horizontal space. It can also work for the person who likes to see how thing will look next to their outfit for the day. These may hang on a closet rod, door or wall hook. They also cost less than a jewelry box.

The final idea may be considered strange but it is not only inexpensive but it can work for the person with limited space. Styrofoam or plastic wig heads can sit on a surface or be mounted against a wall using medium weight Velcro or double stick tape. Using pins or tacks, earrings, bracelets and neck wear may rest on the head. It is easy to access and the head can act as a model to see how different items look. People who have a little more space in their home may use a half body mannequin. However, the idea here is to know where items are located and their condition before wearing in public.
