Ten Ideas for Storing and Displaying Your Jewelry (13 comments)

View Slideshow
Tangled bracelets, knots in necklaces, and lone earrings that are missing their partners plague even the most dedicated of jewelry lovers. On the flip side, when jewelry is stored away in drawers, it can be forgotten. What's someone with a jewelry collection to do?

You use jewelry to decorate your neck, wrists, and ears, why not use it to decorate your home when it's not on your body? A recent feature in House Beautiful featured an Albert Hadley-designed home. This particular home owner had an entire room dedicated to her jewelry. Necklaces were literally lounging on their own human-sized daybed! While most of us don't have this luxury (O.K., so my extra room is a pursery, I know, I know...), there are plenty of tricks for displaying your favorite trinkets and keeping them organized. Below are just a few of the ones I've found on Houzz. If you have a favorite Houzz jewelry shot or know of another great trick, please share with us in the comments section below!
1. Group pieces together to form a luxurious assemblage. Ah, black and white, petals and pearls - so very Chanel!

2. Add it to a Tablescape. The casually draped turquoise necklace is the perfect finishing touch here.

3. Bedeck a gourd lamp. I stole this trick from that House Beautiful Albert Hadley feature I spoke of above.

4. Dedicate an entire wall! Nails or simple hooks are all you need to achieve this look.

5. Of course, you can do better than nails. Choose special hooks for your jewelry. Don't you just love these double butterflies? They go perfectly with beautiful beads!

6. Use an elegant bulletin board to your baubles.

7. Along those lines, let your baubles inspire you right alongside those tear sheets and fabric swatches!

8. Take some cues from your favorite boutiques and use a display case. The turquoise frame here really adds some punch and makes it feel like a piece of art on the wall.

9. Think about investing in a serious display system. This one is fit for a museum, and the collector can see her pieces without even opening her drawer.

10. Open your mind to unusual display pieces. These hand molds are the perfect for holding onto strands.

Fabulous ideas- my favorite one is number six. Now I need to start using my jewelry to decorate the house. Thanks!
I've always love "open" display when it comes to jewelry...because I forget it when it's tucked into a "box"...got rid of mine when we moved last time...and now it's all out in the open on my "busts" and architectual sculptures :}

Inspiring ideas! I have my "everyday" earrings hooked over a wine glass, but the rest is stashed away in drawers. I'm going to start bringing a lot more of it out in the open!
I think you read my mind - these are some great ideas. I've been trying to find something "just right" for my house for a month or so now.

As much as I love open display, I have cats who are vandals and thieves. I must remember to keep these things out of their reach.
Great ideas!

They are all beautiful but my favorite is number one.
rlphilbr13- love your display! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the inspiration. I converted a plate holder to display my jewelry. It works great, looks good, and best of all, my jewelry is easy to see and wear on a daily basis. (OK, it's in my bathroom so I do end up polishing the silver on a regular basis but it only takes a minute with a polishing cloth.)
Wonderful displays!

Great ideabook!
rlphilbr13 - LOVE your display!
I hang my jewelry on my favorite candleabra. It's functional, organized, and cute!

These are such awesome ideas. I noticed myself ogling all the clever ways they had jewelry displayed in a boutique today.
I love number 5. I do this with some of my necklaces but on cheap hooks that aren't too nice to look at. I need to upgrade.
