Nothing could be more annoying than tangled necklaces or a lost earring when you're rushing to an important meeting. Unfortunately, modernity has brought storage solutions for everything else but very few people focus on creating solutions for jewelry storage. This is why you have to get creative, especially if you own valuable pieces that would cost an arm and a leg if damaged. Jewelry looks stunning when worn and it can look similarly beautiful when stored. These 4 easy storage ideas will transform your bangles and earrings from a tangled mess to a beautiful display of colors, textures and designs;

Frame them

Do you have an old frame that you're not using, It could be a dysfunctional photo frame with broken glass or a new frame you've never used. What you need to do is get rid of the frontal glass, if any and then cut out a colored piece of fabric according to the frame's inner measurements. Glue this piece of cloth inside the frame and pin your earrings on it. You can then hang the frame on your wall, to display the masterpiece you just created. Alternatively, ask your local carpenter to piece together a large wall frame. You may instruct him to fill the inner part of the frame with soft materials such as polyester fiber and then cover it up with a beautiful fabric.

Tip: use dark fabric colors such as black and maroon as they provide a beautiful contrast with most jewelry colors. 

Use a jewelry box

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a jewelry box was as valuable as a bank account. Women stored their most valuable pieces in specially designed jewelry boxes that had lockers. That is how precious jewelry can be. If you're into vintage decor, you could invest in a jewelry box. Most of them are structured to contain different types of jewelry with compartments for necklaces, bangles and earrings. Such a tool is especially convenient for people who travel often. You cannot possibly carry your jewelry frame to a foreign country.

Kitchen hooks also work

Hanging necklaces is one of the best ways to preserve their beauty and life span compared to placing them on a surface. Hanging also prevents contact with surfaces which might scratch or diminish the sheen on jewelry. Kitchen hooks are multi-functional and they can do an excellent job of holding your jewelry. If you glue them to your bedroom wall or closet door, they'll hold necklaces and bangles, as well as provide an appealing display of your jewelry. From pearls to wooden beads and metallic chains, the combination of textures and colors on your wall plays an aesthetic role in your room. The good news is, you don't need an individual hook for every piece of jewelry. One hook can serve multiple pieces.

Put them in a pretty bowl or a piece pottery

If your creative juices dried up a long time ago, you don't have to wrack your brains trying to execute all these creative ideas. Simply look for the most beautiful glass or wooden bowl in your kitchen or buy an embellished piece of pottery and put your jewelry in them. A glass bowl will create an elegant feel in your space while a piece of pottery or a wooden bowl will bring in a rustic and unique feel. It all boils down to your taste.
