Women's Jewellery Storage Buying Guide

Keeping your jewellery  stored right is important for several reasons. For one, it keeps all your diamonds and pearls safe from vacuums, dark corners, and theft. Jewellery storage  can also keep your jewellery organized, easy to find, and less likely to get in one of those impossible tangles. There are several options for storing your jewellery and keeping it safe. There is not, however, one option that is overall better than another. Every person has different jewellery and different needs, so the perfect jewellery storage device differs from person to person. So how do you know which method is best for you? No worries, we're here to give you all the information you need to decide which one you should choose.

Jewellery Boxes

The standard and most popular type of jewellery storage out there, jewellery boxes  are a great option for many people.

Pros:

  • Variety! There is no doubt that you'll be able to find a jewellery box that matches your style. From small pink musical ones for girls to cherry wood, large ones for women, you will be able to find one in the perfect size and style for your tastes.
  • Most come with an organizer system of sorts. You'll find a spot for your earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets.
  • Many have a built-in mirror so you can put on your earrings and examine your necklaces without needing to walk to the other side of the house.

Cons:

  • If your jewellery collection grows, you'll need to buy a new box. Most do not offer any method of expanding their capacity.

Organizer Trays

Organizer trays  are an easy way to keep your jewellery safe. Most organizer trays can be stacked to save space.

Pros:

  • Easy to expand. Did you get a lot of jewellery for your birthday? Not a problem. Simply buy another tray and stack it on top!
  • Easy to hide in a drawer for optimum safety.
  • You can customize the type of storage you need. Sick of having a million hooks for necklaces and only one drawer for rings? Not a problem. Simply buy more of what you need and less of what you don't.

Cons:

  • Organizer trays come in some varieties, but they are generally plain and not as pretty as jewellery boxes.

Travel Organizer

Travel organizers  come in two different styles. One option is a zipper bag that has different pockets for your different types of jewellery. Another version is like a miniture jewellery box that only holds a few pieces that you need when traveling. Obviously the zipper type is better for those who travel with tons of jewellery.

Pros:

  • Compact, easy to travel with.
  • Jewellery is safe and won't fall out. Some prefer the zipper pocket method even if they don't travel because it ensures that nothing will fall out if knocked over by the family cat.

Cons:

  • Usually not a great variety in styles and colours.
  • The zipper pockets are great, but putting multiple necklaces in one pocket means tangles and knots!

Pearl Storage

Pearls need their own special methods of storage and care. While pearls can be kept in a regular jewellery box so long as it is lined with velvet and doesn't come in contact with other pieces of jewellery, it is best to keep them in their own separate storage container.

  • Wrap the pearls in a soft cloth or put them in a cloth pouch
  • Allow them to lie horizontally; never hang a pearl necklace from a hook.
  • Pearls are soft, porous, and delicate; keep them away from hard metal jewelry.
  • Don't put on your pearls until after you've applied makeup, hairspray, and perfume.
  • After wearing your pearls, give them a wipe with a soft microfiber cloth before putting them away again.
