Many women find that over the years the amount of jewellery that they accumulate is phenomenal and so feel the need to sort out and organise their collection periodically. Jewellery boxes alone do not address the problem of storage as some do not adequately keep necklaces from becoming tangled and do not allow you to view your collection of earrings sufficiently to be able to make a choice.

One of the most useful ways of storing your assortment of necklaces is to have them hanging up either on a rotary unit or on a board attached to the wall. This can be made quite simply by buying a cork display board, covering it with fabric of your choice and using plastic pins to hold the necklaces in place.

Earrings can be difficult to store as they are quite fiddly, but earring holders are an effective way of organising them in such a way as to be able to see your collection at a glance. The earring stem simply pushes through a small hole in the metal holder and the butterfly is attached to the back.

If you have items of jewellery that are particularly precious or expensive it is a good idea to keep them boxed separately as they can become tarnished if stored with other items.
