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.

Though people may scoff at first but getting organized will help in many areas. It helps to keep track of small parts. If a person cannot find something at a particular moment, they may go out to replace it. Over time, buying duplicates can be costly. By knowing where something is at all times, it will prevent someone from spending money.

Depending on the space and personality, there are different ways to organize a space. For instance, old shoe boxes can be used as storage and labeled with what type of jewelry is inside. One box could be used for earrings or necklaces and if there are a lot of delicate pieces, small plastic bags can be used to provide a cushion of sorts. Clear jewelry bags can be found at craft supply stores or small sealable sandwich bags may be used.

Another sorting idea is to separate colors, materials or by other visual features. The bags can also be used for separation or even to transport safely. It also helps a great deal to keep broken pieces in a separate bag with a reminder to have it repaired at some point. Or it may be easier to replace the jewelry.

If there are accessory sets worn with different outfits, these can be placed in a clear small bag and hung next to the outfit to be worn. This may present a limitation for some but certain personality types like to know what is in place ahead of time. Using this method can make getting ready in a rush a little easier.

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.

This final organization solution may seem a little quirky but it is affordable for many, as well as effective. Wig heads made of plastic or Styrofoam can be bought at any wig or beauty supply retailer. By sticking pins to the top, as well as draping the neckline, these can hold many accessories. The head is portable and can also be used as a model to see how jewelry will look. If surface space is lacking, it may be mounted to a wall with Velcro or double sticking adhesive. Sometimes, investing in a mannequin is good for sorting and displaying accessories. This is just one of many ways to keep things organized at all times.
