HOW TO ORGANIZE JEWELRY


We've all experienced the moment where you're digging through your jewelry box, trying to find that one much-needed gold necklace. While such an item may exist in there, what usually happens is you can't find anything for minutes on end because everything is mingled together or tangled. If only there were a way to organize your jewelry so that these moments didn't happen - luckily, there is!


Read on for some helpful tips for organizing jewelry so you can easily find what you're looking for and keep your accessories in good condition.


1. HOW TO DECLUTTER YOUR JEWELRY: THE JEWELRY INVENTORY


Organizing your jewelry can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be! By taking inventory of what you have, you can easily see what pieces you need to keep and which ones can be donated or sold.


Here's how to get started:


1. Gather all of your jewelry in one place. This can be a task in and of itself, but it's important to have everything in one spot to see what you have.
2. Sort your jewelry into categories. This can include things like necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, etc.
3. Take inventory of each piece of jewelry. This can be as simple as making a list of everything you have.
4. Decide what to keep and what to get rid of. This is where things can get tricky, but it's important, to be honest with yourself about what you actually wear and what you don't. If you haven't worn something in over a year, chances are you're not going to wear it again.
5. Donate or sell your unwanted jewelry. Once you've decided what you're getting rid of, it's time to find a new home for it!


By taking inventory of your jewelry, you can easily see what pieces you need to keep and which ones can be donated or sold. This simple process will help you declutter your jewelry collection and make finding the pieces you love easier.



2. START TO SORT JEWELRY


Once you have an inventory list of your jewelry, it's time to sort through everything. The first step is to sort your jewelry by type, such as putting all necklaces in one place or keeping all bracelets together. Organizing jewelry this way allows you to easily find what you're looking for when you need it. This method will help you grab what you need and go instead of searching through a pile of mixed jewelry.

Sorting your jewelry by type will not only make it easier to grab what you need and go, but it'll also help prevent any accidental breakage. For example, imagine if you had all of your necklaces thrown into one drawer - it would be a tangled, hot mess! By sorting your jewelry by type, each piece has its own place and isn't crammed together.


After you've sorted your jewelry by type, it's time to sort it by occasion. For example, you might want to keep your everyday pieces separate from your dressier items. Or, if you have any jewelry that needs special care, such as vintage pieces, you'll want to ensure the vintage pieces are correctly stored, so they don't get damaged.


You can also further organize your jewelry by color, putting all of your silver pieces together and your gold together. Sorting your jewelry by color can be helpful if you're looking for a specific accessory to match an outfit.


It would be best if you decided on a plan for storing your jewels as you organize them. Keep like items together and consider how you want to display them and what types of storage make the most sense for different pieces. For example, consider keeping the everyday jewelry pieces that you often wear out in the open for easy access while placing one-off items into storage containers until they're needed



3. HOW TO DISPLAY YOUR JEWELRY AS DÉCOR


Who's to say a statement ring or pearl necklace isn't a sculpture? Instead of hiding them away in a closet, put your joy-sparking sparklies on display like any other piece of art. Arrange them between books, vases, or other sculptures, or elevate them on jewelry risers. We especially love the chic, modern look of clear display blocks.


Beware, your accessories can double as home décor as long as they are safe from the glare of harsh sunlight. Direct sun exposure will fade the colors of jewelry and cause dullness. Never display your sparklies in front of a large window where sunlight shines directly at them.


It is important to exercise extra care for specific pieces when organizing jewelry. For example, if you have any vintage jewelry or pieces that are sentimental to you, consider displaying them in a shadow box. Shadow boxes are perfect for protecting and displaying delicate items. They also offer an extra layer of protection from dust, dirt, and other debris.


One way to use jewelry as décor is by hanging necklaces on hooks. Organizing jewelry works exceptionally well for statement pieces or long necklaces you don't wear often. For example, hanging necklaces on hooks keeps them tangle-free so you can avoid the headache of having to untangle a tangled necklace.
Another way of organizing jewelry is by displaying bracelets on a bracelet holder. This is a great way to add color and personality to your space. Plus, using bracelet holders is a great way to keep your bracelets organized to find the one you're looking for easily.


Another way to use jewelry as décor is by placing earrings on an earring holder. This is a great way to keep your earrings organized and prevent them from getting lost. It's also a great way to add some personality to your space.


The next method for organizing jewelry is by displaying ring sets on a ring holder. If you have a lot of rings, consider using a ring holder to display them. This will keep your ring sets in one place and prevent them from getting lost or mixed up with clashing sets.


Whatever way you choose to use jewelry as décor, be sure to mix and match pieces to create an eclectic look. And have fun with it! After all, it's your home, and you should decorate it in a way that makes you happy.



4. ORGANIZING WITH JEWELRY DRAWERS


Organizing jewelry in drawers is a great way to keep your jewelry safe and easily accessible. However, if everything is just thrown in there, it can quickly become a tangled mess. That's why using dividers is key when organizing jewelry in drawers.


Dividers will help keep your pieces from getting tangled or lost in the abyss of your jewelry drawers. Small trays with compartments are great for this, as you can put different types of jewelry in each section. You can find these at most stores that sell home goods. For example, you might have a small tray for necklaces, another small tray for rings and earrings, and a larger tray for bracelets and watches. Jewelry trays will help you see everything at a glance and make grabbing what you need quicker and easier.


Next, collapsable dividers let you build a personalized system centered on the pieces of jewelry in your set. Drawer dividers come apart quickly, so you can change the layout according to your drawer size. Collapsable dividers are great if you constantly add new pieces to your jewelry collection and are unsure of the exact layout plan you need.


When organizing jewelry, make sure to line your jewelry drawers with a soft fabric like velvet to prevent scratches to your jewelry. It is also good to label each section, so you always put your jewels back in their proper places.



5. INVEST IN A HIGH-QUALITY JEWELRY BOX


Now that you have your beautiful jewelry collection displayed in an organized manner, it is time to learn how to keep it that way! Here are some tips on how to use a jewelry box to store your jewelry so that it stays organized:


1. Use different compartments for different types of jewelry. This will help you to find the piece of jewelry you are looking for quickly.
2. Wrap delicate items such as necklaces in soft cloth to prevent them from tangling.
3. Use clear plastic bags to store small items such as earrings and rings. This will help you to see what is inside each bag and prevent items from getting lost.
4. Label each compartment with the type of jewelry it contains. This will help you to put things back in the right place after you have worn them.
5. Regularly clean your jewelry box to keep it looking its best.


You can also invest in a tarnish-proof jewelry box. A tarnish-proof jewelry box has a special compartment for each piece of jewelry and is lined with a tarnish-resistant material. However, you should still check your jewelry periodically to make sure it is not becoming discolored. Tarnish-proof jewelry bags are also available. These bags contain specially treated fabric that helps prevent tarnishing. The bags can be closed with a drawstring or zipper to further protect your jewelry.


By following these tips, you will be able to keep your jewelry collection organized and looking great!



6. USE SMALL JEWELRY TRAYS OR BOWLS


If you have a lot of jewelry, chances are it's not all organized perfectly. Perhaps you have some pieces lying around in a drawer, others in a box, and still others hidden away in a closet somewhere. Sound familiar?
One way to get your jewelry better organized is to use small trays or bowls. This way, you can keep all your jewelry in one place and easily see everything you have. Plus, it's a great way to display your jewelry so you can admire it daily!


Here are some tips on how to use small trays or bowls to organize your jewelry:


- Use different trays or bowls for different types of jewelry. For example, you might have a tray for earrings, another for bracelets, and another for necklaces.


- If you have a lot of jewelry, consider using more than one tray or bowl; this way, you can keep your jewelry better organized and prevent it from getting tangled.


- Be sure to line your trays or bowls with felt or another soft material. This will help protect your jewelry from scratches.


- Use small compartments within your tray or bowl to further organize your jewelry. This way, you can keep your earrings separated from your necklaces, for example.


- Don't forget to consider your jewelry's overall style when choosing a tray or bowl. You want something that will complement your jewelry, not clash with it!


Organizing your jewelry with small trays or bowls is a great way to keep everything neat and tidy.

 


7. CREATE A JEWELRY CORD OR RING WRAP 


If you have a lot of necklaces or bracelets, it can be helpful to create a jewelry cord or ring wrap for organizing jewelry. These storage tools are simply a piece of fabric or ribbon that you wrap around your jewelry. The pieces won't get tangled, and you can easily see all of your options.


You can find jewelry cords and ring wraps online or at most craft stores.



8. PURCHASE A JEWELRY DISPLAY


Organizing your jewelry doesn't have to be a daunting task. In fact, with the right jewelry displays, it can be quite simple and even fun! So here are a few tips on how to organize jewelry using displays:


1. Sort your jewelry by type. This will make it easier to find what you're looking for and will also help you keep track of your collection.
2. Choose the right jewelry display for each type of jewelry; for example, necklaces can be displayed on necklace stands, while you can hang earrings on earring trees.
3. Keep your displays organized and clean. Regularly dust them off and store them in a safe place when you're not using them.


With these tips, you'll be able to keep your jewelry collection organized and looking great!



9. WALL STORAGE


One of the best ways to organize your jewelry is by using wall storage. Wall storage is great because it keeps your jewelry off the ground and out of harm's way. Plus, it's easy to see everything at a glance, so you can quickly grab what you need and go.


If you have the space on your wall, you can always use a jewelry organizer that hangs from a nail or hook. They usually consist of clips that you can attach to your wall. The hanger itself is usually detachable, so you can take it down and bring it with you when traveling (if not, make sure the hanger is collapsable for easy storage).


Utilizing hanging organizers is a must, especially if you have a small space. The more you have on the wall, the less horizontal or counter space you need for storage. The only disadvantage of organizing jewelry with this method is that if your collection grows too large, you may quickly deplete the available area on your wall.


Another excellent wall option for organizing jewelry is cubbyholes (especially for organizing bracelets). Look for slots with clear pockets to see what's inside at first glance. Cubbyholes let you spot your must-have pieces easily while keeping them safe and sound.



10. SHELF STORAGE


There are many ways to store your jewelry, but one of the most efficient ways is to use shelves. For example, you can buy special jewelry storage boxes that come with built-in shelves, or you can create your own system using a variety of materials.


Shelves are the way to go if you want to keep your jewelry organized and visible. You can arrange your jewelry by types, such as necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Or, you can organize it by color. Either way, shelves make it easy to find the piece of jewelry you're looking for.


There are a few things to keep in mind when using shelves to store jewelry. First, make sure the shelves are clean and free of dust. Second, use felt pads or other soft materials to line the shelves. This will help prevent your jewelry from getting scratched. Finally, consider using clear boxes or containers to store your jewelry on the shelves. This way, you'll be able to see what's inside without having to open each box.


Another option is custom jewelry drawer inserts to keep your jewelry organized. Custom jewelry drawer inserts come in various sizes and styles, so you can find one that fits your drawer and your jewelry collection. Plus, they're made of soft materials like velvet or satin, which will help protect your jewelry.


STORAGE TIPS:


HOW TO STORE NECKLACES SO THEY WON'T DANGLE:


You can either use a jewelry box with multiple compartments or get creative and use other types of storage containers to keep your necklaces organized. For example, if you have a lot of necklaces, consider hanging them on a jewelry organizer rather than letting them all jumble together in a drawer or jewelry box. This will help prevent tangling and keep your necklaces looking like new.


Another great way of storing necklaces without tangling is by using small hooks or pegs. You can either hang these on a wall or inside a jewelry box. This method works well if you have a lot of dainty necklaces that could get tangled easily. Simply hang each necklace on its own hook or peg, and you'll never have to worry about tangles again.


So there you have it, a few different ways of storing necklaces without tangling. Be sure to try out each method and see which one works best for you.



HOW TO BEST STORE JEWELRY TO PREVENT TARNISH:



Jewelry tarnishes as a result of exposure to chemicals in the air, water, and even skin oils. Tarnish is a thin layer of corrosion that forms on the surface of metals. The rate at which jewelry tarnishes builds up depends on the type of metal and the environment it's exposed to.


Luckily, you can do a few things to help keep your jewelry looking its best and prevent tarnish:


First, you can protect jewelry by storing it in a cool, dry place (such as a jewelry box) is important. A moisture-free environment will help slow down the tarnishing process. You can also purchase anti-tarnish strips or cloths that you can place in your jewelry box or drawer. These products work by absorbing moisture and chemicals that can cause tarnish.


Ultraviolet light can also cause tarnishing, so to protect jewelry, it's best to store your jewelry in a dark place, away from natural sunlight. You can still use jewelry displays, bowls, and dishes, but to keep jewelry from tarnishing, make sure they're not in direct sunlight.


Avoid extreme temperature changes, which can cause metals to contract and expand, weakening the structure of your jewelry. For jewelry tarnish prevention, ensure the room you store your jewelry in is not too humid or dry.


For jewelry tarnish prevention, when you're not wearing jewelry, it's important to clean it before storing it away. This will help remove any dirt, oil, or other substances that can cause tarnish. For example, you can clean jewelry at home using a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the jewelry with a soft toothbrush, rinse well, and dry with a soft cloth. Once the jewelry is completely dry, then it is safe for storing away.


If you follow these simple tips, you will keep jewelry from tarnishing and keep it looking shiny and new for longer!



HOW TO STORE JEWELRY IN A BOX:


- First, make sure the box is lined with something soft, like velvet or felt. This will help protect your jewelry from scratches. Beware of boxes made from cardboard or paper, as these materials cause jewelry scratches! If you do decide to buy storage boxes made from cardboard or paper, they need a soft fabric lining such as velvet, or else you will ruin the shine of your pieces by accumulating micro scratches.


- Second, try to store each piece of jewelry separately. This will prevent them from getting tangled or scratched. We like to use poly bags or small cloth pouches to store our jewelry. You can also find small compartments within some storage boxes to keep each piece organized.


- Finally, be sure to close the box tightly so that dust doesn't accumulate on your jewelry.



HOW TO KEEP NECKLACES FROM TANGLING IN JEWELRY BOX:


If you're like most people, you probably have a jewelry box full of necklaces that are constantly getting tangled. Here are a few tips to help keep on storing necklaces without tangling: 


1. Storing necklaces without tangling requires individual bags or pouches. This will help to prevent them from getting tangled with each other. By keeping them organized in small separate pouches, you can avoid the frustration of having to untangle a big mess of necklaces.


2. Wrap your necklaces around a piece of cardboard or foam core. This will help to keep them from tangling while you're storing them in your jewelry box.


3. Use bobby pins around the jump rings to keep your necklaces organized in your jewelry box. This will help to prevent them from getting tangled up with each other.


4. Take some time to untangle your necklaces on a regular basis; this will help to keep them from getting too tangled and will also help to prevent them from breaking.
