Earring Holder - Folding Screen Holds 128 Pairs of Earrings

I have a confession to make: I am obsessed with earrings. Chunky bead clusters, vibrant gem strings, sparkly studs and sleek hoops make my heart beat faster than a two-shot macchiato. If you too lose all willpower at the sight of a new shiny pair, you probably have a vast collection that at times leaves you overwhelmed with joy and confusion.

Make sense of your treasured belongings with a jewelry organizer designed specifically for earrings. As you may already know, those little things easily get tangled or lost in the midst of peers; meanwhile sorting through them in a regular jewelry box can be a daunting task.

If you don’t have any jewelry storage at all, the situation takes an even scarier turn: did you put that lovely silver and amethyst pair that you got last Christmas in your purse, on a nightstand, or in the bathroom cabinet? Oh, here’s one, but where’s the other? Hope you don’t end up spending hours turning over the cushions, crawling under the bed and carefully inspecting your cat’s litter box. Oh, and don’t forget garbage disposal. It must be here somewhere.

Don’t beat yourself up: what you may not be aware of is that small jewelry participates in the worldwide conspiracy to make women of all races, ages and creeds question their judgment and mental stability.

Keep the runaway wannabes in check with the Folding Earring Screen, a latest find in my quest for sanity. This compact and efficient jewelry display holds up to 128 pairs of earlobe bedazzlers, which should be more than enough for any normal person. I, on the other hand, need two of those; however, the price is so refreshing that I’m stocking up for all my future indulgences. Come to think of it, I may pick up a few more at Stacks and Stacks to give away as stocking stuffers this holiday season.

Modular storage ideas are everywhere, designed for every part of the home or office.  What “modular” means is that you can customize your storage to your organizing needs, using a variety of items that are designed to fit together, while still allowing you to customize.  And I’ve just come across this 18 compartment stacking velvet jewelry tray that is part of a modular jewelry system.

Velvet Jewelry Tray - Stacking - 18 Compartment

I can’t think of a better way for jewelry fanatics like us to keep our precious gems and metals neat, tidy and safe.  One of the great things about these jewelry trays is that they are designed to be used in drawers.  If you can designate an entire drawer of your dresser or bathroom vanity to jewelry, then these organizers are definitely the way to go.  They are easily stackable, so you can really maximize jewelry storage, even in very deep drawers, especially in the bathroom. They come in just two lengths, and each one is designed to hold different types of jewelry.  For example, a ring tray, a necklace tray, an earring tray - put these all together and you can safely store hundreds of pieces of jewelry or more.  Another thing I like about these is the velvet like lining.  We know that this is a great way to keep metals from tarnishing, extending the life of your jewelry in between cleanings.  Even if you only have a shallow drawer to use for jewelry storage, there is a solution.  Simply choose one of the jewelry organizing trays that has varying sizes of compartments.  That way you can put necklaces, rings, watches and earrings, for example, in one single tray.  Don’t have a drawer to use?  These jewelry organizers are elegant enough to be used on the dresser top or counter as well.

Necklace Holder - 12 Arm - Clear Acrylic

All too often a girl can find herself spending way too much time untangling a mess of bead strands, chains and pendants, running a risk of getting frustrated to the point of breaking a piece or two in a righteous fury.

I’ve been there.

Then I would sob over the precious remains, and no amount of chocolate would ease my pain. You know what I mean. Maybe it would be more beneficial to go to the garage and do a couple of rounds with my boyfriend’s punching bag, but I’m a girly girl and I cherish my knuckles.

As for the necklaces, there has to be an easier way to keep them from driving one psychotic. Jewelry boxes never work for this purpose, the most they do is keep the rings and loose charms together and out of sight. Left to their own devices in a dark confinement of a jewelry box, chains and strings seem to emulate the Garter snakes’ mating ritual, only to no worthy outcome, like a pearl or a diamond offspring. Oh, wouldn’t that be sweet.

Alas, till the scientists find a way to integrate reptilian DNA into gold’s and gems’ molecular structure, it is best to keep individual pieces apart. The easiest way to do that is to hang them up on a jewelry tree. The one that really caught my eye for its simplicity and convenience is the 12 Arm Clear Acrylic Necklace Holder. It displays your treasured sparklers in a clean and efficient manner, while easily fitting in with any décor style. Great for bedroom dressers and bathroom countertops alike, it allows you to swiftly find the one right accessory when you need it most.

That said, it does nothing for your decision making powers, there you’re completely on your own. A quick tip: when you see your mate’s forehead vein throb, it’s time to grab something. Anything. Get yours at Stacks and Stacks!

Just like in spring, I always like to do a Fall Cleaning around my home. This is a great time to do all of the usual spring cleaning activities, with a few days raking leaves thrown into the mix! One of the reasons that fall is a great time to do a thorough home cleaning and organizing is that let’s face it, during the summer, the kids have managed to track in sand, dirt, mud and who knows what else all over the house! So taking care of the floors is one of my top priorities. However, I also like to pick a few areas of the home to do a thorough organizing in. And with the holidays rapidly approaching, a great place to get organized ahead of time is in your jewelry box. Or jewelry drawer, armoire, whatever you use to keep your gems safe, sound and neat and tidy. If you don’t have a jewelry box, now is a great time to get one, as you may be receiving jewelry as gifts in the upcoming season. My pick this time around is a jewelry box with a totally different look, the Pacifica Birchwood Jewelry Box. This is different than the very traditional dark wood jewelry organizers I am used to seeing with a very classic look. This one uses a very light finished wood, and has innovative dividers within to keep jewelry looking its best. Four drawers are each divided to help keep scratches and nicks at bay, while each piece is lined for additional protection of jewelry. The light colored finish on this jewelry box has a nice feminine look, a great one for placing on top of the dresser or countertop in the bathroom! Since we are rapidly approaching the holidays, this is a great time to dig out all of your finest jewelry or holiday themed jewelry so that it will be right there ready to put on when you need it most!

Here I offer some tips on how to take an ordinary box and turn it into a jewelry organizer! Read on to find out.

There are so many reasons to choose a nesting box as a jewelry organizer for your collection. First, you might simply like the design of a particular box more than you do some of the specifically designated jewelry boxes out there. For example, I just came across the Barclay Nesting Boxes and think they are absolutely adorable! I love the design, but how can I turn them into jewelry boxes when they are not already divided and lined? Second, you may already have a box lying around your house, and you just might want to use that as a jewelry box, but aren’t sure how to make it functional in that way. Here are some things to consider when making your own jewelry box.

1. Liners - Most jewelry organizers are lined in order to protect the precious stones and metals inside from scratching. If your box isn’t lined, you’ve got two options: You can either line it yourself, which is really simple - just get some fabric and small staple gun and line away or you can use all of those small cardboard and hinged jewelry boxes you have that fit in your new box. Since they are already lined, you don’t have to worry about lining the box but you will still have your jewelry box!

2. Dividers - Another thing to think of here are dividers. Most jewelry dividers keep necklaces from tangling and metals from scratching one another (see liner above). One way to deal with this is, again, to use those little cardboard jewelry boxes you have (without the lids). A great way to deal with necklaces is by running a series of safety pins on the inside of the box where you can loop long hanging jewelry in and around!

This week’s new product is a beautiful, affordable, space efficient and travel friendly jewelry organizer.  The Red Travel Jewelry Box has everything you need in terms of jewelry storage when you go on vacation or away on business.  The thing that I love about this jewelry organizer is that it is compact enough and safe enough to go travelling with you, but actually when you are at home you could use it on your dresser top or bathroom counter as well.  No need to switch jewelry in and out of this organizer, just use it for your everyday jewelry, keep it out where you can see it, and then, when you are packing for a trip, simply close the lid and toss it into your suitcase.  Some of the other things that I like about this jewelry organizer are the dividers on the inside and the cream plush interior.  Both of these are great because they will make sure that your jewelry stays safe and clean.  The dividers allow you to separate pieces so that they are not bumping into each other and scratching while you are on the go, and also so that necklaces, bracelets and other longer pieces and chains don’t get tangled with others.  The ring rolls keep rings and earrings secure and an additional pouch in the lid can hold more gems.  A mirror is also built into the lid – great for applying makeup and putting on jewelry anywhere – you will never be without a mirror again when you need it most!  A magnetic flip closure keeps everything in place when you are traveling, so you don’t have your favorite jewelry spilling all over your suitcase or in the hotel room.  The red faux leather upholstery on the outside of the box is so fun!  Now you can have safe and stylish travels!

The holidays are creeping up on us, and what better way to show your love and appreciation for friends and family than with a beautiful jewelry organizer!  The Omiska Jewelry Box is the perfect gift idea that will cover all gift giving bases.  Whether you are a husband looking for a gift for your girlfriend or wife, a friend looking for a present for your BFF, or a loving son or daughter shopping for mom, this jewelry storage box fits the bill.  Not too frilly, not too big, this jewelry organizer is just the right size and style.  The unique design includes small gold toned glass all over the piece, giving it a metallic look with modern art flair with large swirls around the side and on the top, and lines and rows around the base and lid.  Open it up to find storage for select jewelry pieces, use it for your most treasured gems, or for every day accessorizing. This jewelry box is elegant yet simple, nice enough to leave out on the dresser top or counter top in the bathroom – wherever you normally get ready for the day (or evening out).  The compact design is perfect for holding just a few pieces of jewelry without taking up a lot of space on your chosen surface, and the combination of classic design and modern materials give it timeless appeal, an organizer that you will have for years to come.

This new line of Jewelry Organizers has a European flair, a fun and effective way to store your jewelry!

The Tuscany Jewelry Organizer looks like a little leather purse, but packs a punch in terms of jewelry storage.  Made of genuine leather with a  beautiful brown finish, this jewelry box has beautiful style.  Natural crackling patterns are visible on each part of the exterior of the box, with the patterns differing in sizes and shapes throughout.  The interior is fully lined to protect your gorgeous gems, keeping tarnish at bay and scratching virtually impossible.   Storage options include a ring tray that can hold your favorite finger decorations or earring studs, holding each one upright for beautiful viewing.  The tray lifts out to reveal a compartment for necklaces, pendants, and any other loose jewelry you have.  On the right side, there is an additional open compartment for jewels, and this organizer comes complete with a bonus travel jewelry box, great for taking on long weekends away or full length summer vacations.  The interior of the lid contains a flap with an oval mirror, great for clasping necklaces, putting on earrings or applying makeup with ease.  The flap folds down to reveal a hidden storage area with hooks for hanging pieces.  This beautiful jewelry organizer is a welcome addition to any woman’s collection, and makes a great gift for holidays, birthdays and Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms out there!

Did you score any jewelry for Valentine’s Day?  I didn’t, but there’s something about this day of celebrating love that makes you want to bring out your best, or at least look at what you’ve collected over the years!  We all have different preferred styles.  Some of us love modern, some of us love traditional, and these preferences carry throughout every aspect of our lives, including fashion, home décor, jewelry and more!  Here are some great choices of jewelry boxes that represent different styles – something for everyone! 

Modern and Contemporary – If you are a gal who loves modern home décor (think black, white, chrome and bold “accent walls”), then there is certainly a jewelry organizer that will suit you.  Look for modern materials including faux leather, and soft, subdued appearances that include lots of right angles (squares and rectangles) as opposed to ornately carved woods, for example.  The Delaney Jewelry Box is a great choice.  It packs a punch in terms of capacity, with a tray for every type of jewelry, and when closed, it looks like an attaché, the perfect complement to your European style furnishings. 

Traditional and Classic – If you are more into the antique style, then you can stick with woods, which can stand out easily on your dresser or counter top.  Choose from a variety of finishes and wooden carvings, and extras that include mirrors, music boxes, velvet interiors, and more.  One of my favorite ways to get this traditional look are with the jewelry boxes that look like tiny pieces of furniture.  For example, a little dresser style box, complete with metal drawer pulls, or the adorable armoire style jewelry boxes that look like a little closet, such as the Layla Jewelry Box.  Whatever your preferred style is, don’t settle - keep looking until you find the right box to match your home décor!

An All Purpose Box or Container makes a great jewelry organizer!

A jewelry organizer doesn’t have to be fancy!  In fact, most of us find that while we go through life we are accumulating so much jewelry that, by the time we are adults, we probably have more than one jewelry organizer anyway!  It’s nice to have a really nice jewelry box for special items.  This is the kind of investment piece jewelry organizer that you will spend a good amount of money on probably.  Some people like an ornate, hardwood box with carved details.  Some like the little armoire type glass jewelry boxes for with lights for displaying jewelry on the dresser top.  But, for everyday jewelry, a great place to start is with a simple box on the counter of the bathroom.  Keeping a small selection of jewelry in the bathroom where you get ready is a great way to remember to accessorize your outfits properly.  I know that if I don’t see the jewelry staring me in the face, (by that I mean reminding me that it’s there), I simply will forget or feel to lazy to put any on.  My life is so busy that I’ve found that keeping two or three pairs of earrings, two necklaces and a bracelet or anklet right on the counter, with the box open, is easy enough for me to accomplish a finished look when I leave the house.  Every couple of months, I switch up the selection of what is in there to so that I’m not over wearing the same pieces.  Any type of box can serve this purpose.  These Faux Leather Boxes make a great jewelry organizer.  I actually have a folding box that I got at Christmas with an array of Victoria’s Secret perfumes – I simply put a square piece of cotton in there to protect the jewelry.  But, I’m thinking of upgrading…
