Having a safe way to store and organise your jewellery is extremely important. Not only does it keep them clean and damage-free, but it also allows you to see everything you have so no pieces are left forgotten.
Just like with a wardrobe, if your jewellery collection is extensive, it can be easy to pick up the same few pieces daily and forget about the rest of your supply. In other words, ‘out of sight, out of mind’. But the beauty of seeing everything you have is that you remember to wear all the pieces you love. It also enables you to evaluate your collection and eliminate anything that no longer serves you.
There are endless ways to store and organise your jewellery, so knowing where to start can be challenging. But, with the following tips, you should be able to have a beautiful, secure and organised jewellery collection complete with pieces that bring you joy.
HOW TO STORE YOUR JEWELLERY COLLECTION
In a box
A jewellery box is the simplest way to store your jewels if you choose to keep them on a surface like a shelf or dresser.
There’s a huge array of jewellery boxes on the market in a range of different shapes and sizes to suit your needs. Suppose you’re looking for something large to house your entire collection. In that case, our multilayer jewellery box has multiple drawers and compartments to store your pieces, plus a mirror for easy styling.
Alternatively, this miniature jewellery storage case is lightweight and compact if you have a smaller collection. It comes in a range of colours and is also perfect for travel.
In a drawer
Drawers can be crafted into excellent jewellery storage solutions by simply dividing them up. First, separate your drawer into sections using compartments of different shapes and sizes. These compartments should be of a soft fabric (like velvet) to protect your pieces from damage. Then, organise your compartments to keep bracelets, rings, earrings, and more safe and secure.
The best thing about the drawer method is that the drawer size isn’t important. For no reason other than visibility, shallow drawers work best – but if you have a deeper drawer, you could stack another jewellery organiser on top of the first to maximise your storage options.
In the packaging it came in
Most often, your jewellery piece will come complete with a box, pouch or something similar when you buy it. So, why not make use of it?
This packaging is designed to ensure its safe arrival when being shipped and that it is kept in optimal condition for years to come. So, it’s an affordable and accessible storage solution in itself.
Get creative
If you’re still looking to keep your jewellery collection on display, there are many ways you can do it. Use a decorative necklace stand to hang your necklaces, or a marble ring holder to store your precious bands. But, if you’re looking for a more 'DIY' option, something as simple as a clothes hook or medicine box can house everything from stud earrings to chunky chains.
HOW TO ORGANISE YOUR JEWELLERY COLLECTION
By colour
Organising your jewellery by colour is not only aesthetically pleasing, but it makes accessorising incredibly easy. For example, if you’re planning an outfit and decide a red piece of jewellery would work best with it, then you only have to look at one area of your collection. It saves time and decision-making and is a wholly efficient organising method.
By gemstone
If you have an extensive jewellery collection that spans multiple gemstones, categorising it by gem makes it easier to see all the beautiful stones you have to choose from. The other advantage (and the most valuable) is that gemstones of the same strength will be stored together, so there is no risk of one stone scratching another.
By jewellery type
Organising jewellery by type is a popular method for those who may only want to wear earrings one day and nothing but a necklace the next. Just like with gemstones, this can eliminate another of the many decisions you have to make in a day.
Most to least often worn
We all have those few staple pieces we wear most days. So, it can be wise to keep those pieces separate from those luxury pieces you save for a special occasion. It makes your everyday pieces easy to access and keeps those special ones safe whilst they await their moment in the spotlight.
