The Best Jewelry Storage Ideas For The Busy Person

By Scott Hill


For some, no wardrobe is complete without the right accessories. While it can be fun shopping for accent pieces that can be worn a number of ways, sometimes keeping up can be a challenge. This is especially true when it comes to pairs, like earrings of footwear. However, jewelry storage ideas may help when it comes to organizing closest space.

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.

The great thing about organizing is that there are many methods that can be implemented. Any small to medium boxes with lids and can be stacked on top of one another are good. Boxes can be labeled by the piece of jewelry, color, or whatever will help to keep track. Delicate pieces will benefit by being placed inside a clear bag that can be sealed. If it is not possibly to by jewelry bags from a crafts store, small sandwich bags will serve the same purpose.

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 keep accessories together and placed near the intended wardrobe to be worn in the near future. Some people enjoy experimenting while they get dressed but there are some who feel they do not have time to waste before starting their day. However, it can be a time saver when running late.

For those with a small collection, or pieces that are not large, jewelry boxes may work for storage purposes. Many have compartments for pins and rings and can add a decorative touch to a bedroom. There are also versions that are ideal for traveling and come with a lock for security purposes.

Some accessory stores carry hangers made for earrings and other small items. This is another good solution for the person who gets dressed on the fly and needs immediate access. These are versatile because they can hang on a closet rod or on a door hook.

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.
