New Ways to Organize Your Jewelry

Ladies, how many times have you gotten dressed, reached for your jewelry box, searched for your bracelet or necklace only to find it in a heap of chains, all tangled with each other? You can't tell what's what so you just give up. And the earrings, well just forget it...you can find one, also wrapped in the chains, but the other one is nowhere to be found.

You tell your husband that you have been ready for an hour but you have been working on un-raveling all those chains. It is just plain frustrating.

I love my jewelry. Most of it is costume jewelry but I love it all. Especially my earrings. Have you gone through your jewelry box only to find that several earrings are missing? Here are some ideas to help you get organized. You want that pair of pearls? Well now you'll know right where they are.

These work great and they are CHEAP!

My husband is a fishing "nut case" and loves his fishing tackle. If ever we travel we always hit the Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's. I can't tell you how many tackle boxes and little fishing lure organizers he has bought over the years. But, needless to say he would not live long enough to use all this stuff so,over time I have "borrowed" several of his little lure organizers. Psst..he still doesn't know they are missing.

I especially love them for my earrings. Each little compartment holds one pair so they never get tangled with another piece of jewelry. They stack easily in your dresser drawer OR if you are real brave you can also "borrow" his tackle box and store all your little lure organizers in one case.

Try it out ladies. You'll see how handy they are and how easy it is to organize all your little small pieces of jewelry.

My brother bought me a bracelet as a birthday gift one year which was rather unusual because the year before he brought me home a camel saddle. Oh, and how about the time I got red long johns with a drop seat in them. So, the bracelet has been a treasured gift for a very long time. He put the gift in a little straw, circular box. I love that little box as much as I do the bracelet.

These little treasures don't hold much but they can look so beautiful on your dressor, in the kitchen windowsill or even on a shelf in the bathroom. There are so many options as far as materials and sizes. Little straw boxes, glass boxes, antique tea strainers or pretty little jars.

If you are giving jewelry as a gift this year find a pretty little box to put it in and this piece of jewelry will have a home and that person will know exactly where it is at all times. Unless, of course, they are wearing it.

I saved the best for last

Jewelry Trees. They are just the perfect thing for the jewelry that you wear all the time. I have several pairs of earrings but seem to put the same ones on over and over again. You never get tired of your favorites.

If you have some favorite pieces that you want to show off, this is the perfect venue. Not only does the jewelry tree look nice sitting on your dressor the pieces of jewelry that you most often reach for are at your fingertips. I love my jewerly tree.

This photo is a picture of the one I found. Believe it or not, I found mine at TJ Maxx. Just a fluke I am sure and of course there was only one which made my daughter extremely jealous.

Tell me your favorite way to organize your jewels.
