Jewelry plays an essential role in anyone's wardrobe. You want necklaces that can show off your cleavage and draw attention to your eyes. People also want bracelets that add a touch of bling to their wrists and a wedding ring to remind them of their beloved. Many people have large and meaningful collections of items they love having on hand. Well organized collections have many advantages. The owner can find exactly what they want whether they're having fun at a night out on the town or preparing for travel overseas. Organization gives you the chance to grab what you need and go.

An Overall Plan

Before doing anything else, it's vitally important to come up with a plan. You might want to organize your items by color, how often you use them or by who gave you the pieces. It's a good idea to think about how you've been storing your jewelry in the past. Think about what is working and what can be changed. Making changes will help you stay on top of things and enjoy your collection even more.

 Pick a Place

Picking a place to keep your items is the next step. You might have a part of your closet that you're not using. That is a good way to use all the spaces in your home. Another way to do so is to find a space that is relatively safe and secure. You might have a hidden cupboard that is not immediately evident when people see the room or a space like the area under your bed. These make good places to keep your collection. Make sure you can get into those spaces with ease. You don't want pieces getting stuck as you handle them.

An Organizer

Savvy shoppers can find all kinds of organizers on the market. Think about the items you use and how you use them. For example, earrings need to be in pairs. You want to have a place where you can store all the earrings when they are not in use. Many people choose to have more than one kind of organizer on hand. This is a good way to keep things separate. One box might be ideal for longer pieces while a second serves to keep your favorite pins in order. That allows you to find storage for each piece.

Valuable Items

Some items are relatively inexpensive. Costume pieces can be purchased for a small sum. Other items have more value. You might want to keep these pieces in a separate place. The gorgeous ruby necklace your spouse bought you as an anniversary present deserves a special place. You don't want these pieces to get chipped or broken by accident. Set them aside. You can keep pieces that you wear more often in another part of your organizer or buy a specific box for them entirely. That is a good way to keep your best pieces in easy reach.

Special Circumstances

There may be times when you'll need to find a specific piece or you just want to keep a few pieces on hand. If you are going to travel, you might only want to bring a few things that you can use to add a splash of color when you're at the opera or ballet. Storing and organizing these items should be done with great care. These are items that will need protecting as you head to a new place. Buy a portable but secure space where you can keep them. Many hotels also have safes where you can store your valuable things.

Leaving Room

As people go through life, they often buy new things. Many people add to their collections over time. A spouse may give their partner an item such as a lovely new diamond ring as a token of their affection. Bear in mind your collection is likely to grow over time. You'll want to leave room to add entirely new things. Buy a larger storage unit than you think you need right now. Additional drawers will come in handy as will extra pegs. This way you'll always have the space you need to keep your jewelry well organized.
