How I Store My Jewellery

Over the years I have collected what I would refer to as "a decent chunk of jewellery." It tends to be the perfect gift to someone for their birthdays, for Christmases, whatever. As a result of this I have hoarded a large amount of bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Sadly, I am lacking in the ring department but I plan on changing this over the coming season with a trip to the Primark jewellery section. My jewellery used to just be in a massive knot on my bookshelf but I recently took steps to organise it properly and prevent it from tangling up. As a result of this I've found that I don't tend to lose jewellery anymore!

This lovely jewellery box was a gift from my friend which she brought back from rome. It's such a beautiful pattern on the top and it is the perfect solution to storing my earrings. I cut out small squares of paper out of a university prospectus (this counts as recycling, right?) and just pierced my earrings through the paper. This stops me having to rummage around trying to find pairs.

I've used this little basket thing to store all of my bracelets in. I tend to keep my most worn nearer the top, and the bangles all in a section at the side.

My mum found this lovely necklace stand in a charity shop for £1.50 and so gifted it to me. I use this to store jewellery which gets tangled really easily and that I don't wear too often.

I've used a coffee cup to store the pitiful amount of rings that I own. I think it looks cute. For the small amount of rings that I own, this works perfectly.

My friends are very well travelled and over the summer two of them went to India and brought me back this beautifully patterned little wooden box. I use this to keep all of my ear cuffs in as I like to keep them separate from my main earrings collection.

I bought this shelf from B&Q for something ridiculously cheap like £3, I then attached hooks to front of it so that I could hang my necklaces from it. It's quite sturdy and manages to hold the amoutn of weight that I currently have on it, but I don't know if it would manage to hold anything too heavy. Especially seeing as the wall that it is attatched too isn't a solid wall. But I like to keep my jewellery by the door so that when I'm running out the house I can just grab it.

Finally, I just have little trinket boxes to store misc. stuff such as collars and broken bits of jewellery. I've even used an old tin which held the rosin that I used to use on my bow when I played the violin.

So that's how I store my jewellery! As I said, I keep it by my door so that it's easily accessible. I don't have that much jewellery but I love what I do have. I hope this has maybe given you some inspiration or ideas :)
