Costume jewellery is a great way to accessorise. Just by adding a few bracelets or a pair of earrings you can really perk up a plain outfit and make it look much more exciting, but finding ways to store your favourite pieces can be challenging. Necklaces can be long and tangly, earrings can become separated and the stones in rings can become damaged if they're bashed around too much. If you don't have heaps of space at home it can leave you wondering what the best way to store these kinds of things is- so here are some ideas.
Necklaces
These jewellery hooks can be purchased cheaply on ebay and are a fantastic way to prevent long necklaces becoming tangled. Because they're hung on the wall they don't take up much space, and as you can see you can store absolutely loads of pieces easily. I've had the above system in place for months and take necklaces on and off every day- and I'm yet to discover any have become tangled!
Bracelets
I'm loving this black tiered bracelet stand. I've used the top row for mainly chunky statement pieces, the second row are the types of bracelets I'd add to a statement piece and the third row are charm bracelets, pieces I've made or miscellaneous bracelets. Most days I grab one from the top row and a few different ones from the middle row like in the bottom pictures, but it would work with pretty much any bracelet style you have.
Earrings
These acrylic earring stands are perfect for keeping all of your pairs together, as you can see I have a mixture of small and large pieces and the stands keep them nice and neat. I've found hanging the longer ones behind works best. Again, they dont take up much space but hold plenty of pairs- unlike putting them in a jewellery box it's easy to see exactly what you have and which pair will work best with whatever outfit you're accessorising. Being able to see what you have definitely helps you to get more wear from what you own.
If you're a lover of jewellery but always find things are getting lost, broken or tangled I'd definitely recommend investing in some good storage. There are so many different types, and regardless of your space and budget you should be able to find something that keeps your jewellery nice year after year. Standard jewellery boxes are generally not designed for chunky costume pieces, so it's worth having a look around and seeing what will work for you.
