How to Organize Jewellery
“Every piece of jewellery tells a story.” Or does it? I think it does, but I am not sure if all stories are as significant as others. Sometimes the stories have more value than the jewellery. This is why we keep the items we don’t need or even like to wear, because we want to hang on to that story and its memory. And that’s ok, if an item brings you joy, keep it! Here are some tips on how to organize jewellery so that you can get the best out of your pieces.
5 Easy Quick Tips
Tip 1: Hold each piece and listen to your heartIf you feel joy, keep it. If you do not feel joy, it is time to sell or gift it. There are many people who would value the gift, and it makes it easier to get rid of something by giving it to someone you know will enjoy it.
Tip 2: Sort by colour or significancePut similar metals together like gold or silver. Categorizing by look or colour is another way to sort for example putting stud earrings together and hanging earrings together. (I keep my grandmother’s jewellery in a box separate from the rest as it is so special to me.)
Tip 3: Use velvet liners or stylish containersJewellery always looks better on velvet or in pretty containers. Cleaning your jewellery will make a huge difference, making some items look brand new. You can get jewellery cleaner in most large supermarkets. Treat the jewellery with love, it will shine straight back at you.
Tip 4: Contain in small pots, bowls, plates or on hooksYou do not have to go and buy new storage items for your jewellery. Look around your home for little pots or dishes that can be used. Hooks are great for hanging necklaces on which could create an attractive piece on the wall. Once you have organized your jewellery so you can see it all, you will actually start to wear more of it. If you are looking for a new jewellery case, Homesmiths have a great selection. Maisons Du Monde have beautiful fabric covered boxes.
Tip 5: Display a few special pieces to bring joy to your spaceHaving a display dish or a hanging piece to show off your gorgeous pieces. I have a handmade ceramic dish I use to keep my wedding rings in, on my dresser counter. It makes me happy every time I see it. Once you have organized your jewellery so you can see it all, you actually start to wear more of it as you know what is there immediately.
