Jewelry Storage & Organization

Hi everyone and Happy Friday! I hope you all had a great week. I know we did and enjoyed my hubbies two days off. He is back to work today (if you can call an organizational day work..ha) but should be home early so I just wanted to do a quick post since I slacked yesterday. I mentioned last week I had planned to post my jewelry storage and organization so here are a few pics of my jewelry collection and how I store it.



This is the Lori Greiner Gold & Silver Safekeeper Wall Jewelry Cabinet. You can purchase one on QVC or I've also seen them on eBay as well. She also has a stand version which is exactly the same it just comes with a stand instead of wall mountable. It's a little expensive but if you have quite a bit of jewelry it's a great investment to keep all of your stuff safe and in one place. I also find that I wear my jewelry 10x as much now that I have this cabinet because I can see everything and I don't have to dig through boxes or containers like I use to have it stored. I also use to store it in 3 drawers of our dresser and it took up way to much valuable clothes space.



Remember me saying I wasn't a huge fan of rings? I never realized my ring collection was so small until I stored it in this. haha! These are just my fashion rings though.

The picture below is a little top drawer in a nightstand cabinet that I keep in my closet. I keep some larger bangles that don't fit in the above cabinet well, a couple broaches, and a watch. This is where I use to store my rings, and some earrings that I wore often. Anyone spy little 4 year old toesies?? ;)


I managed to free up two dresser drawers but I still needed one to keep some boxes, a few larger necklace pieces that were too chunky for the wall cabinet, some holiday jewelry, travel jewelry cases, and my old jewelry box that I've had for years and years. I keep keepsake jewelry pieces in that box, mainly pieces from my grandmother and my mom as well as rings/necklace pendants that my husband has bought me over the years. I don't usually wear these pieces anymore but it's definitely not something I would ever get rid of because they mean more than anything in the other cabinet combined.  



This is the two travel jewelry cases I own. I use the smaller one all the time. It is great for weekend trips or if you are a light packer for even longer trips as well. These two bags are by a brand called PreZerve.


So that is pretty much the gist of my jewelry and how I store/organize it. There are lots of cute ideas online to organize your jewelry especially with display items but with my 4 year old I just prefer to keep stuff out of reach.

How do you store and organize your jewelry?

  7. Wow, this is awesome! Great place to keep and organize all your jewelery in one place and it's all hidden.

    1. Yep, I think that is probably my fave part because i'm not much of a clutter person so I like it behind clothes doors. It also has a lock so it keeps my 4 year olds hands out.

  8. Oh my goodness, you have so much jewelry!! Such a good way to store it, mine is all in a drawer and I can never find what I need...

    1. Mine used to be the same way and I would rarely wear anything except the few pieces I had out and easily accessible. I felt like I wasn't getting the most use out of my jewelry.

  9. I love all of your jewelry and I love the way you store it. I have the same issue that you said you did with never being able to find the piece you're looking for.

    1. I have worn so many different pieces since i've gotten this setup. It has really helped with that issue of not being able to find anything.

  11. My friend's husband made her something like this and everyone always oohs and aahs over it. It sure does make you realize how much jewelry you have. Love that you can just see everything at a glance. Hope you'll stop over and visit at Quirky Vistas.

    1. Thanks so much for stopping by. Yeah, I would have loved for my hubby to build me a custom one, because I really didn't need that many ring spaces but his "to build" list is already a mile long. haha

  13. Okay, that cabinet is amazing and it would totally inspire to purchase more jewelry!

    I have an old medicine cabinet we aren't using - I wonder if I could make a smaller version of this?! I think I'll try!

    1. You definitely could!! I'm all about repurposing what you have to. :) My hubby could have built one of these cabinets but we have a ever growing list so maybe if I run out of room (which is already happened nearly) I will have him build me another one.

  14. OMG! This is awesome! This inspires me to collect my own sets of jewelry! :D But, are you collecting gold or silver jewelry as well? Those will perfectly look good on you, too. :)

    1. I have more silver than gold but I do love gold pieces and have a few of them. I don't really collect one or the other, just pieces that I love.

  15. I’m overly attached to jewelries, in fact, it’s a bit of an obsession for me. Hehe . If I saw something like this, I would totally be eager to collect more jewelry and organize it as well as this! It really looks beautiful!

    1. Thanks Kimmy! :)

      I have been really loving it and it has made me want to fill it up. I could actually use a second one now. haha! The only thing that isn't completely full is the rings but I'm not a huge ring person so i'm not sure i'll ever fill that part up.

  16. I have my jewelry in one of those hanging things that you hang in your closet and the ones I use most are scattered across my sink. I need that!!
