Storing jewelry the proper way is critical to ensure that your favorite pieces last longer and shine like new! Also, storing them in a certain fashion can make it easier for you to find your jewelry instead of hastily looking through a pile of tangled chains or rummaging through a dish full of rings and earrings. Here are a few jewelry storage tips that will help make your life easier and your pieces happy, healthy and shiny! 

We can’t think of a better way to store your birthstone rings than with an actual hand - that is a fake hand. You can get a wooden, brass or plastic hand or hand sculpture and put your rings onto each of the fingers. You can store it somewhere close to your jewelry box or onto the place where you keep all your jewelry! It can be pretty handy!   

If you’re not into the whole fake hand thing, then take a look around your house to see if you have any little ceramic dishes or bowls that you aren’t using. Those items are usually perfect to store small jewelry like rings on. If not, there are many places where you can order cute, little jewelry dishes that can totally match the theme of your decor or your personality!

 
You do not need to be one of those people who owns a fancy dressing table and mirror in order to devote a drawer to your jewelry! You can use any drawer, either in your bedroom, bathroom, or closet! All you have to do is make sure that it is the right size to hold all or at least most of your jewelry and that you can access it easily. You can update the drawer with an organizer that is divided into several compartments or get a velvet in drawer jewelry organizer to add some extra padding and support.

If you want to be able to spot your jewelry right away or display it, you can always hang it. You can DIY one with an actual clothes hanger and attach some hooks to the bottom of it and hang it on the wall. Or you can purchase a hanging jewelry holder online or in store. They come in a variety of styles, shapes and sizes and can be utilized for necklaces, earrings, bracelets or whatever you want.

As always you can use the handy, dandy jewelry box. They can protect your jewelry from damage, are usually lightweight/easy to carry, and they can reduce the risk of losing your jewelry. It can be really easy to remember to take your jewelry off and place it in the box. However, over time, they can get small and can gear toward a younger audience...at least on the design side. 

Storing your jewelry the right way is not only going to help your jewelry stay shiny and neat, but it is also going to help  maintain the integrity of your gems, stones and jewels. It will also help you find the specific jewelry piece you are looking for more easily than searching all over the place for it, just to find it tangled up with other chains and charms.
