Did you get new jewelry for Valentine’s Day? Whether your pieces are precious gifts, special heirlooms, or coveted personal finds, you’ll want to properly store and protect them. Jewelry is beautiful in and of itself, so it is easy to marry function with form when you choose the right space and storage solutions.
Keep reading for our best jewelry organization tips!
Step 1: Evaluate Your Collection and Location
Start by pulling out everything you own so you know exactly what you have and what needs to be stored. Once you have a clear picture of your collection, evaluate the spaces in your closet, bedroom, or bathroom that make sense for storage.
Consider using:
- Built-in drawers or shelving
- Cabinet storage or vanity drawers
- Existing bedroom furniture tops
- Pro Tip: If your collection is particularly valuable, consider purchasing a high-quality safe to hold your most precious items.
Step 2: Invest in the Right Storage Solutions
No matter which location you choose, you will likely need diverse storage solutions. Here are some of our favorites:
Drawer Inserts
Drawer inserts are a fantastic option to keep items separate while allowing you to see all your pieces at once. Options include:
- Felt-lined trays: These prevent scratching and keep pieces from sliding.
- Custom Inserts: We can have custom inserts made (like the ones in our photos!) in the perfect color and size to fit your drawers exactly.
Modular Stackable Systems
We love a modular, stackable jewelry system. This is an excellent option for any style, especially when working with a shelf or cabinet top. Using stackable drawers is great because the top cover helps protect your jewelry from dust, yet you’ll still be able to see your choices the moment you open a tray.
Acrylic Tabletop Options
Acrylic containers work with any decor and ensure you never lose older items in a disorganized pile.
- Necklaces: Use a wall rack or a 3-tier stand to allow necklaces to hang, which keeps them from getting tangled.
- Earrings: Store both post and hook earrings on a standing organizer to protect ornate pieces from bends or flattening.
- Bracelets & Belts: Easily organize bracelets with acrylic T-stands or bracelet boxes. These boxes are multi-purpose and work great for belts, too!
- Multi Use Organizers: This organizer is perfect for smaller collections.
Shop Your Own Closet Every Day
No one wants to spend precious time searching for a missing earring or a tangled bracelet when trying to finish an outfit. Thoughtful organization ensures you actually enjoy and wear each piece you own. You’ll feel like you are shopping in your favorite boutique every time you get dressed!
Ready for a Custom Jewelry Solution?
Standard trays don’t always fit the unique dimensions of your drawers or the specific needs of your collection. If you want that high-end, “built-in” look, let us help! At Getting it Done Organizing, we design custom jewelry storage solutions that maximize every inch of your space while keeping your valuables safe and stunningly displayed.
