Jewelry Organizers Blog

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!

This Jewelry Organizer is just for your little princess!

The Princess Jewelry Cabinet is a very popular item this year.  And why not?  Why shouldn’t every little girl get to pretend she’s all grown up just like mom?  Plus, it might keep her out of your real grown up jewelry, saving you time and money from lost and damaged gems.  Most little girls, at one time or another, go through the imagination play stage.   First they start off playing animals, then family, and then, one day, before you know it, your little girl wants to play with makeup and jewelry!  What better gift is there for a  princess than her very own jewelry organizer?  I love this one because it is of a really high quality wood construction, with lots of drawers and secret storage areas.  The superior quality also allows it to have a great resale value once she grows out of it, although many will keep it into their “tween” years.    This jewelry cabinet is just like a grown up’s jewelry armoire, but sized down and painted just for her.  Side cabinets hold necklaces and bracelets and other long hang items, and the middle features divided drawers so she can practice organizing and taking good care of her jewels.  A large center section with a magnetic door has a hidden jewelry storage drawer within it, and, of course, the whole thing is painted purple and pink, with a crown on top, making your little one feel like a true princess when she p lays dress up!  You will be surprised and thankful when you see how much time your princess can amuse herself with this beautiful armoire.  For an alternate DIY project, cover a shoe box, plastic box or other container in princess wrapping paper so that she has a special place to keep her gems.

This Jewelry Organizer is an all in one primping center, perfect for last minute getting ready in the morning or night!

The Wall Mount Accessory and Jewelry Organizer is an open style jewelry armoire that offers maximum jewelry storage at a great price, and so much more!  Underneath the jewelry rack is a separate bar for hanging scarves, purses, and any other type of hanging accessory you can think of. Now there is no excuse for leaving the house un-accessorized.  One of the things that I like best about this jewelry rack, besides the accessory hanger, which is my favorite, is that it has a separate hook for all of your gems so that they are all laid out in front of you, ready to go.  Seven wire rows are perfect for earrings of all types, from small dangling earrings to large loops and more.  Below that are fifteen pegs for hanging bracelets (or more earrings, if that’s your thing).  And underneath that are nine more pegs for long hanging necklaces.  Hanging necklaces is much better for them than shoving them in a drawer, it reduces tangling, snags and breakage, so that they will be around a lot longer to accessorize you.  A tray with three divided sections is perfect for watches, rings, brooches and more.  And, underneath that is the oh so useful accessory bar, for scarves, belts or headbands.  Made of wood and lined to protect your jewelry for years to come.  Use this jewelry wall rack wherever you are likely to do your primping in the morning, including the bathroom, bedroom, near the closet or even by the front door if you live in a studio!

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!

The Product of the Week this week fits right into your purse, jewelry organizer or suitcase, and comes in multiple forms!

Happy New Year!  Ahead of us we have a whole year of fun.  Fun traveling, fun with jewelry and much more.  Many of us like to polish our jewelry.  What can I say?  It’s just fun to watch it get a little brighter, shinier and more beautiful every time!  And it’s certainly more gratifying than most other types of cleaning.  For travel, there are many options for jewelry cleaners on the go.  Obviously you don’t want to bring a big jar of paste or (worse) liquid and have it spill all over your suitcase or car, so what can you do to make sure that your jewelry looks its best anywhere you go?  Here are some tips and great products for achieving this: 

1.  Polishing Cloths – this is a great one to keep in your purse or in the glove box.  Next time you are in a waiting room, or picking up the kids from school, you can whip out this cloth and shine your rings, for a start.  It’s hard to believe how well these actually work until you give it a try – it is truly phenomenal when you see the tarnish on the cloth after using it on what you thought were your clean rings.  Note:  since these cloths are coated with a cleaner, you will want to put them in a ziplock bag before sticking them in your purse. 

 2.  Gel and Brush Jewelry Cleaner – This one is great for travel, not so much for the purse, though, as it requires rinsing.  You can polish many jewelry pieces with the handy cleaner and brush set, and then rinse to perfection.  The cap screws on tight, but I would recommend putting this in a ziplock bag just in case.

A Jewelry Stand gets a facelift with Victorian Style and convenient Jewelry Storage concepts!

You’ve all heard me rave about Jewelry Trees, I’ve blogged about them at least once before.  This is a new take (actually not new at all, but definitely a come back piece) on the jewelry tree.  Instead of a tree, it is a beautiful Victorian lady. Her name is Cherie, and she is an elegant choice for a jewelry organizer.  These jewelry stands have been around forever, a favorite during Victorian times and ever since.  She looks like a porcelain doll (actually resin) and has your choice of two different colored dresses, pale blue and tan.  Eight metal hooks hold necklaces, bracelets, watches, rings and some hanging earrings - that’s right, pretty much all types of jewelry!  The best thing about a jewelry stand is that is that it’s a great alternative to jewelry boxes and drawer jewelry dividers in some cases.  One benefit to a jewelry stand is that it keeps necklaces and chains from tangling and breaking.  When they are hanging, as opposed to coiled in a little divided box, they simply can’t get tangled with themselves  or other pieces.  But, the reason that I like jewelry stands the most is that you can keep some of your favorite everyday pieces handy and ready to go at a moment’s notice.  If you’re like me, you don’t have time to look through a jewelry box every morning, night, etc.  I’m very busy, so the only hope for me to accessorize myself is to have everything laid out, easy to see and easy to access, tangle free and just enough choices to take me through the week.  So give this beautiful lady, Cherie the Victorian Lady Jewelry Stand a try!  She just might convince you to look your best every day!

Yay!  A Jewelry Tree for purchase, finally!

If you remember I blogged before about the benefits of a jewelry tree, a great idea but something that seems hard to find.  I even suggested making one, or using a mug tree instead.  Well now I’ve found a jewelry tree for purchase, as beautiful as its name, the Bijou Jewelry Organizer.  It’s not very expensive either.  A Jewelry Tree is a great choice for hanging necklaces, as it keeps them from getting tangled and broken.  These jewelry trees are great for beading enthusiasts, especially if you like to sell your jewelry at crafts fairs and flea markets.  At home, they are also a great choice for many reasons. First of all, they are pretty – by far the nicest way to display colorful jewelry.  You can really see what you have, making it impossible to “waste” jewelry that you have sitting around in drawers.  Second, they are practical.  The unique shape of the hooks means that you can hang necklaces, bracelets, and even hanging earrings on the pretty little hooks that are provided.  And, a tray at the bottom can hold other pieces, including rings, studs and watches.  This is a great way to keep a healthy selection of jewelry on hand, ready to go so that you aren’t ever tempted to lazily skip this important step of primping.  I think this would be great on the dresser, on the bathroom vanity (where there is a mirror to aid in dressing), or even on a hall or entryway table.  This one is made of stainless steel, a great complement to most jewelry pieces, and very affordable, a great all in one jewelry organizer!  Little girls would love this item too, perfect for playing dress up and starting their own little collections of gems.  Give her a few of your old pieces to start with to cherish forever.

Find Jewelry Organizers that match your style and Jewelry Storage needs!

I found the cutest new Jewelry Organizer, the Swing Away Jewelry Armoire, and I just had to share!  I love the design of this jewelry organizer.  It reminds me of many smaller versions of this that I have seen, usually wooden jewelry boxes or acrylic models, where it’s a tall cylinder, and each level swings out to the side to open, revealing jewelry storage and dividers inside. This is basically the same concept as those, just a lot bigger, which means it can hold a lot more (big is good, right?) 

My thoughts on jewelry armoires are this:  If you have a lot of jewelry, a jewelry armoire is an investment.  It may seem like an expensive purchase, like buying a new couch or something, but it’s not like you will ever need to buy another one.  And, even if you are just getting started on a jewelry collection early in life, you are sure to fill a jewelry armoire in the years to come.  Another thing I like about them is that they are almost like a piece of furniture in themselves, a great accent piece, if you will.  Place a jewelry armoire in your bedroom, next to a walk in closet, or near the vanity (if you are lucky enough to have one). 

This jewelry organizer has a very cool design – the white painted wood and the round body almost have a retro feel to them, but work just as well in modern styled homes, as well as country chic.  This armoire has a storage space for everything, and a mirror on the upper portion for applying makeup and trying out your favorite gems.  The felt lined interior is a great, affordable way to keep jewelry safe and clean, free of tarnish, scratches and the dividers keep your longer pieces tangle free!

Different Jewelry Boxes for Different Types – and trust me, there’s something for everyone!

When choosing a jewelry box or jewelry organizer, the wealth of choices can be welcomed, but also a tad overwhelming!  How to choose depends on what you need, where you are going to put it, what your style is, how much jewelry you have, and on and on.  Check out my tips and reviews of different types of jewelry organizers below to find out which one will work best for you (or your significant other, if you are gift shopping).  Wooden Jewelry Boxes – These are the more traditional form of jewelry organizing, been around for centuries and centuries, keeping jewelry safe, neat and tidy.  Choose a hardwood box for long term jewelry storage.  A wooden jewelry box can come in any shape or form, from traditional square and rectangular models to round and half moons.  A box that incorporates glass doors or see through tops gives the most visual appeal.  A box with a mirror is nice, both storing your gems and helping you put them on!  And, for girls from 5 to 85, a musical jewelry box simply can’t be beat.  Choose a theme song that represents your life, or simply puts a smile on your face!  Fabric and Leather Jewelry Boxes – These are a great alternative to wood, perfect for the bathroom counter or dresser top for your most frequently used jewelry!  And the possibilities are endless with these, including pinks, blacks, greens and more.  Choose from large chocolate brown leather boxes and small open boxes.   Travel Jewelry Organizers – on the go, keep your most precious gems safe from loss and tangles with a great travel jewelry organizers.  These are available in every size and material, from small leather wallet size jewelry cases to full size organizers for most of your collection!
