The Art of Storing Jewelry

I love costume jewelry. Pretty necklaces, glamorous earrings, fun bracelets… you name it and I’ve got it. A ton of it. My problem is storing it all. I went a little nuts with Stella and Dot’s new Spring line and now that my shipment has arrived, I have been thinking about where I am going to put it all. I have a large jewelry box on my bathroom counter, a smaller one on the shelf in my bathroom, and several organizers in my linen closet. Generally speaking, I am a very neat and fairly organized person, but I know that many of you are bound to be far more organized than I am! How do you store your jewelry?

I would love to find a small, vintage dresser in which to store and organize my jewelry. Perhaps I would then be able to consolidate it all!

I am open to any ideas you might have. I am sure many of you have clever solutions for jewelry storage, so please share!

 

And while we are on the topic of jewelry, be sure to enter my latest giveaway if you haven’t already. It ends tomorrow at midnight CST!

Stella & Dot S/S 2010 Giveaway

I am still very excited about Stella and Dot’s new Spring / Summer 2010 line! Inspired by travel (right up my alley!), the new line features collections which draw inspiration from various places. The bright colors of the Palm Beach collection really resonate with me right now.

One of my favorite pieces is the chartreuse Palm Necklace, made of glass beads on hand knotted turquoise silk thread. It features a starfish brooch dotted by hand-set pave glass stones. It looks great layered or on its own and is extremely versatile. “Michelle Obama's daytime inaugural dress color. Pantone's color of the season. This is the piece to instantly bring a favorite outfit up to date with a splash of whimsy. Wear as a single strand, doubled, tripled, with the Starfish brooch or without, with another brooch in back or front.” It can be worn seven different ways!

I will be giving away a Palm Necklace to the lucky winner of this giveaway! All you have to do is click here and then leave a comment telling me which piece from the Spring / Summer Collection (St.Tropez, Sayulita, India, Palm Beach) is your favorite.
