Jewelry Organizers Blog

Hi everybody! My name is Molly, from Wine Racks Blog and Spice Racks Blog. Michaela asked me to share some of my favorite jewelry organizers - and I’m happy to oblige.  

See this?

This is one of Marie Antoinette’s jewelry boxes. The girl may not have had the best sense for politics, but you cannot deny her sense of style. I know, there’s something to be said for subdued taste - but you know what? Sometimes you’ve just got to go big!

Now, I don’t know about you - but I’m not lucky enough to live in a French chateau. But that doesn’t stop me from mentally decorating my imaginary castle. Here’s a jewelry cabinet that any queen would lose her head over - the Antique Parchment Armoire. This jewelry organizer is hand painted, has a flip top with a mirror, and enough storage space for the crown jewels. 

But of course, if you’re really lacking room but still want a bit of luxury - there’s a jewelry organizer for you. How about this Floral Jewelry Storage Case? This tres charmant case is hand painted and features designs of flowers and birds. What I love about this case is that it has a lift-up tray - so you can stash secret treasures (love letters?) away from prying eyes.

I found these jewelry organizers at StacksAndStacks. Have you found any great organizers lately? Let us know!

Have a Large Jewelry Collection?  Some people have a lot of jewelry, and, therefore, a lot of jewelry organizers around the house.  If you are lucky enough to have a very large assortment of jewelry, you may feel that you are overrun by organizers and you can’t ever seem to even find the piece that you need. 

Here are some ideas about what types of large capacity racks are out there, the pros and cons of each, and some fresh ideas for you to consider. 

• Jewelry Armoires have been around forever.  They are usually very elegant and almost act as their own piece of furniture.   The styles vary greatly and have come along way since their invention.  Traditional oak and elegant cherry armoires are available, but many manufacturers are making models that match more modern styles, including mission oak and even crisp white.  They usually feature a combination of lined drawers with dividers already in place, and sometimes a lift lid with a mirror which is really handy.  I really like the models that have hanging necklace storage on the side, which is really the best way to store necklaces.  They are a little pricier than some jewelry boxes, but the use of veneers instead of 100 % hard woods has made the prices more reasonable.   
• Jewelry Closets are great for large jewelry collections.  They are wall mounted, very space-efficient so you don’t have to worry about using up valuable floor space.  They can even be mounted recessed into a wall if you own your home and are allowed to do that much remodeling.  They are usually pricier than armoires but offer a little bit more storage and are a very permanent solution (not good if you move a lot).  
• Jewelry Bag:  This is by far the cheapest but it still has 80 pockets, so you can pack in a lot of jewelry.  They are actually pretty good for necklaces, too, because when you get the chain in the pocket it really doesn’t move around a lot and get tangled.  This one can be used for travel, and can hang right on the closet rod or on a screw on the wall or door.
