The Wonderful Folding Earring Screen

Earring Holder - Folding Screen Holds 128 Pairs of Earrings

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.

reg-1307568273-18974A dresser drawer, or, for that matter, any drawer around the home, from the bathroom to office, kitchen and beyond, is a great place to organize your jewelry. All you need is a little time and a few tools. First I recommend emptying out whatever drawer you are going to use. It can really be any size, it doesn’t matter if it’s a former silverware drawer in the kitchen or a junk drawer in the office. So, go ahead and empty that drawer, and while you are doing so, you can take the time to throw out old rubber bands, dust or even vacuum out crumbs and cobwebs. Next, you will want to measure your drawer - this will help you determine which jewelry organizer to buy. For the most versatile jewelry storage options, an Expandable Jewelry Drawer Organizer is the way to go. This one has a fixed height and depth, but the width is variable, allowing you to slide two pieces together and apart to fit your drawer. Once you have the jewelry drawer organizer set into place in your drawer, you can get to work putting your jewelry away in your new organizer - and that’s the best part! I would recommend to make things easy on you that you put your most used pieces towards the front, with the less frequently worn jewels near the back, especially if the drawer doesn’t open all the way. Remember, anything precious should be kept in a safe or safe deposit box - you don’t want to leave grandma’s genuine pearls in the top drawer of your dresser because that’s probably the first place a thief will be looking! If you prefer a different look for your organizer, there are also beautiful velvet lined modular trays that fit together for a custom jewelry organizer.

Jewelry Organizer of the Week

A new find: The Hanging Jewelry Organizer does just that Hangs instantly, easily and space efficiently from the closet rod!

What better way to inspire yourself to accessorize every morning than by keeping your jewelry right there with your clothes! This is very important for someone like me. I am so busy that often, I leave the house without putting on any of the beautiful jewelry that I have just because it’s too hard to find it or pick it out. Keeping it right by my clothes makes it so much easier, so that there really is no excuse! This jewelry organizer is one of the most space efficient around, taking up just a few inches in the closet to organize 100 pieces of jewelry of all types! The sturdy construction includes a beautiful wood design with a rich mahogany finish, elegant enough to be placed next to your finest clothes. This hanging jewelry rack has five levels of storage. On the very top of the hanger there is a ring tray, complete with ring rolls for safe keeping of your favorite rings. Beneath, two pivoting bars swing in and out, and are padded for security, able to hold bracelets and watches. A large earring bar has dividers for added organization, and with the additional purpose of keeping the earrings on the hanging rack, so you don’t have to dig around on the floor of your closet for them. Two additional padded bars hold more earrings and hooked pieces, with prongs at the bottom for hanging pieces, including necklaces, bracelets and more! Overall this is a great choice for everyday jewelry. It helps to keep your most frequently used jewelry (the every day stuff) handy, which is very important for someone as busy as me!

Jewelry Organizer for Little Princesses

This Jewelry Organizer is just for your little princess!

princess-jewelry-cabinet
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.

All In One Primping Center Jewelry Organizer

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!

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!

All Purpose Jewelry Organizer

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…

Bijou Jewelry Organizer

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.

Jewelry Organizer and Linen Storage Trunk

A Linen Storage Trunk with Built In Jewelry Organizers does Double Duty as the Product of the Week

cedar-chest

I don’t own this storage trunk, but I simply had to showcase it as this week’s product of the week.  What a phenomenal piece this is.  It is a storage trunk for linens and clothes, and has two jewelry organizers, perfect for almost an entire collection.  Check out this item and more jewelry organizers at Stacks & Stacks. 

Here are some of the great features of this chest and some different ideas for using it: 

  • Cedar – this chest is cedar lined.  As we know, cedar has some natural properties that make it great for storing linens and clothes.  Cedar is a natural insect repellent, useful for everything including those pesky moths.  So, storing wool sweaters and other linens is not a problem in this chest.  Cedar also has a wonderful aroma to it, which can be renewed as often as you’d like with sand paper.  Cedar is also naturally moisture and weather resistant, great for extreme climates. 
  • Removable jewelry trays – with two removable jewelry organizer trays, this chest is a cinch to use on a daily basis, or for long term storage.  This would be a very nice hope chest for the kids.  You can store their treasured childhood clothes in the large chest and jewelry and other collectibles in the lined jewelry drawers. 
  • Locking drawers – the drawers all feature working locks, nice for semi precious jewelry and other keepsakes.  Cherry finish – the beautiful cherry wood veneer gives a very classic, elegant look to any room 
  • Self rising jewelry tray – this is both fun and functional.  When you open the lid, the upper jewelry tray lifts with it, making storage underneath a cinch! 

Give it a try and let me know if you like it!
