When you’re not wearing your prized watches and pieces of jewelry, it’s imperative that you store them separately in a secure and organized way. After all, the last thing you want is for your pieces to end up damaged or lost. First, visit this guide to find out how exactly you should store fine jewelry, then read up on the following highly-recommended jewelry organizers that might suit your storage needs.

1. Jewelry Armoire

You have a wardrobe for your clothes, so why not your jewelry, too, right? This wardrobe has ample space for any kind of piece, from earrings, to rings, to necklaces, and everything beyond. It features an LED light, a lock-and-key to keep your valuables safe, and hooks attached to the back so it can easily be hung over a closet door and save floor space.

2. Jewelry Display

If you intend to use your pieces as subtle decorations in your space and have them on display, then this wall-mounted organizer is for you. It is a more permanent fixture since it needs to be mounted into the wall, but it’s a simple and elegant way to display your jewelry. It has ample hooks, bars, and holes to store your jewelry in, and the flat surface on top can house a small watch collection, or can be used for more décor.

3. Hanging Jewelry

This tabletop organizer is very highly recommended and is perfect for those who have smaller jewelry collections that are heavier on the dangling pieces like necklaces and bracelets than they are on earrings or watches. The simple, no-nonsense design won’t take up much tabletop space and gives each piece the space and attention it deserves.

4. Discreet Storage

If you are more apprehensive about having your jewelry out in the open, then this more affordable alternative to the jewelry armoire might be for you. An organizer that hangs in your closet amongst the rest of your clothes can discreetly house your valuables while keeping them separated and organized. This Misslo model has 32 clear pockets and 18 velcro loops to store small baubles like bracelets and earrings and also keep necklaces separate and free of tangles.

5. Travel Storage

Jetsetters who can’t bear to part with their collections will love this jewelry scroll by Donna Walsh. This organizer can hang on your closet door when you’re home and house up to 50 necklaces, around 25 bracelets, 42 pairs of earrings, and up to 32 rings. When you’re on the go, roll it up from the bottom, tie it up to secure your pieces, and stick it in your carry-on luggage for easy travel storage.

Creative Ways to Organize Jewelry

If your jewelry collection is taking over your dresser and you can’t seem to find a place for everything, don’t worry!—you’re not alone. Having a lot of jewelry comes with the downside of having a hard time finding what you’re looking for when you need it.

A little bit of organization can go a long way when it comes to your jewelry. And trust us, there are many different ways to do it! For this reason, we’ve been on the hunt for creative ways on how to organize jewelry.

Whether you’re just starting to amass a collection or you’ve been collecting forever and can’t find a good way to store it all, check out these ideas below. You might find the perfect way to keep your jewels safe and easy to access!

Why You Must Organize Your Jewelry

Yes, after an exhausting, hectic day, the last thing you want to do is start an organization project, but after spending a pretty penny on precious jewelry, it’s important to keep it organized. 

Letting it simply pile up is not an option, as the jewelry will tangle. Take our word for it—soft metals and precious stones clashing and intertwining is a recipe for disaster that leaves them aged and unsuitable for wearing.

Best Way to Organize Jewelry

Keep a ceramic tray or a glass plate on your desk, where you can quickly place jewelry while you’re enjoying your beauty sleep. Whenever you find time, slowly begin to organize your jewelry (preferably the next morning). Try to set aside a jewelry drawer or closet with a specific space dedicated to each piece, and put them back immediately after use.

• Organize your jewelry, including diamond ornaments, pearls, and precious gems, inside the shelves of the drawer.
• Keep in mind to lay them in their original shape, especially necklaces.
• Use grooved shelves for rings.

How to Store and Organize Jewelry for Traveling

Keeping the original jewelry boxes from the purchase is always a good idea—these will be helpful in travel packing, if you are planning on less jewelry to carry. If you plan on traveling with many items, bring a jewelry box with shelves to organize your precious jewelry.

How to Organize Jewelry Creatively

Not every piece of jewelry can fit in the drawer. If you have a few items that you wear regularly, why not have fun by exploring a few creative ways to keep them organized?

Tree Branch

Collect some twigs (sturdy enough to hold jewelry) or pick a few up from your local crafts store. Paint them silver or gold and fix them in a base to make them stand. Using them as-is is not a bad idea either. However, to ensure termite-free creative fun, painting is a safe bet.

Towel Hanger

Find some ‘c-shaped’ hooks to hand necklaces and bracelets. Best for lightweight and non-elastic versions!

Clothes Hanger

This is a much less time-consuming and frugal option. Wooden hangers provide a more rustic look.

A Frame

Simply stick some curved hooks to an extra frame. Paint the frame with a bright color like red, orange, blue, green, or whichever goes well with the theme of your room. Tada! You are ready to hang and pick your jewelry – how easy is that?!

Pastry Stand

A pastry stand is a brilliant and stylish choice to grab your regular jewelry quickly. It’s creative and gives a unique look to your bedroom.

Bottles and Flower Vases

Try empty alcohol, coke bottles, plastic bottles, or flower vases with a thin neck to position your bracelets, wristwatches, and bangles.

Groove Card

Take a few old handkerchiefs, roll them individually and stick them with glue. Find a thick base, cut it nicely, stick it on all of these rolls to make multiple grooves, and use it as a holder for all your rings.

Grow Your Fine Jewelry Collection

How you organize your jewelry is a very personal decision, and there is no wrong way to do it as long as you can see everything. Whether you prefer to store your pieces in a jewelry box, drawer, or even hanging from a necklace organizer, the important thing is that they are easy to find and accessible.
