Another said, "This jewelry holder not only does a great job holding my favorite rings and necklaces, but simply looks super beautiful as it is! The quality is great as well."
Picking the right jewelry box is key to keeping your accessories organized, regardless of how big or small your collection is. When it comes to storing your jewelry, you'll want to prioritize the following features:
✔️ Design: Jewelry organizers come in various styles that cater to different storage and display needs. The best choice generally depends on the size and type of your collection, as well as the level of organization and display you're looking for. Closed storage options like boxes, cases and roll-ups are typically better suited for fine jewelry, especially if they're lined with velvet or felt to protect from scratches. Meanwhile, open storage options like stands, trees and hangers can be better suited to everyday jewelry and costume pieces, and help to prevent tangling.
✔️ Size: When choosing a size, think about where you'll be keeping your jewelry box and how much space you have. "The location needs to be in a place that makes the most sense for your bedroom and where you get dressed," says Phillip. Make sure to double-check the measurements before purchasing any jewelry box or organizer.
✔️ Division of storage space: You want to buy a storage solution with enough compartments and tiers that work for your specific collection. "If you are ring heavy, then you want to make sure you have enough 'rolls' or 'channels,'" says Phillip. "If you are more into necklaces, you may need more cubbies to keep everything separated."
He also suggests thinking about how you tend to search for and wear your jewelry, to make it easier to find certain pieces when you go looking for them. "You want to try to keep similar items together, [like] two different sets of pearl earrings," says Phillip. "[Or] if you only wear a certain pair of earrings with a certain necklace, then maybe they should be grouped together."
✔️ Consider more than one organizer: "Try not to think of your jewelry box as a 'catch-all,'" says Phillip, explaining that you may want to purchase multiple boxes or trays, especially if you have a sizable collection. "For example, a smaller box for the 'good stuff,' a box for the everyday, a box for the party items," he says. "You can buy a solution that appropriately fits each of these needs and store them in a proper place. Not all of your jewelry needs to be front and center every day."
