Jewelry Organization Strategies

By Delia Melandoi

How much thought do you put into keeping your jewelry organized? Do you have to untangle your chains and bracelets all too often before you go out? Is it far too troublesome to find the other earring of the pair you like? If you have trouble keeping your jewelry together or lose earrings all the time, not to worry. Try making use of a wood necklace stand.

One inexpensive idea is to use tackle boxes for your jewelry as well. Most tackle boxes are filled with tiny compartments that offer enough space to store rings, pendants, or earrings while keeping them safe and separate from each other.

Hang your necklaces as often as you can; this can prevent a lot of knotting and tangling you likely experience often. There are some who have implemented ice trays in an innovative ways to store their jewelry, as well as small boxers and wall hangs.

You can also string your necklaces through drinking straws, which will prevent them from getting tangled with any other chains you might have, making storage much more efficient and hassle-free. You'll be able to more safely use a jewelry box for these in this instance.

Other good storage options for your various sized rings are ring trees, fabric-covered boxes, and of course the small compartments in a jewelry box.

Your rings, watches, pendants, bracelets and necklaces can be effectively hung on a tie rack as well, for added convenience.

With the proper organization, you can keep your earrings together and not lose one of them. All you have to do interconnect the ends of the earrings by threading one earring post through the back of the other earring, clasping the earrings together and preventing them from becoming detached from one another, keeping them unified. If you don't have butterfly back earrings, however, you might not be able to do this.

To keep hoop earrings locked together, put one open hoop into the other closed one and fasten the clasp. This will help you to keep pairs together.

Silverware trays are also Handy for jewelry as they also have compartments that can be used. Another great idea is to utilize small desk organizers or special drawer organizers for your jewelry.
