Go Ask Gab: Unique Ways to Store Jewelry
January 26, 2010 at 10:12 am , by Gabrielle Porcaro
Gab, my jewelry box is not big enough for my bigger pieces… do you have any any unique suggestions for how to store jewelry? – Krista
I have struggled with the same thing in the past and finally came up with a system. I treat my jewelry (and sometimes my bags and shoes) as decoration and display them around my room. I found different ways to keep my pieces neat but also allow me to see everything. Here are some ideas
:
Hang your necklaces on interesting hooks. I bought two of these door knob hooks from Urban Outfitters. Anthropologie is my all time favorite place for home shopping. You can find all types of cute things like this squirrel hook and inside out bowl. 
I use unique dishes and plates to store my rings, bracelets and small necklaces. I like to line them up on my window sill or stage them around the room. I love these Warhol themed dishes my friend Tina got me from CB2. Trays or plates also can come in handy. Loving this decorative tray from Target (which is where I found my alphabet plate on the top right picture).
If you don’t have space in your bedroom (maybe you share a room with someone who doesn’t want to be reminded of how many necklaces you own!) try using a strip of hooks from The Container Store in your bathroom or closet.
So what’s your system? (Shoving your jewelry in a drawer is not the right answer!)

Love the idea of hanging them from pretty hooks! I have a lot of boring, white wall space in my bedroom and my necklaces are so pretty they’d make great decorations.

I love hand made pins and have a collection of beautiful pins that I could not bear to leave in a drawer or box so I had little metal frames made with a velvet mat. They cut a hole in the mat to fit the pin back and I use a piece of card stock to lock the pin in place. I arrange them on a narrow shelve in my dressing area . They make me smile every day when I see them. It gives me the added benefit of reminding me to wear them

I use fish tackle boxes to hold earrings and small pieces, necklaces tangle easily, so they go on strips of hooks like the ones you mentioned.
