In no time, a jewelry lover's haul can quickly become a tangled, cluttered mess. Although storing your necklaces, bracelets, and earrings inside drawers or jewelry boxes seems like a no-brainer, these throw-and-go spots can cause you to forget about some of your less-worn jewels since they have a tendency to fall to the bottom. Give your treasures — costume jewelry, antique finds, heirloom pieces, and everything in between — the time and attention that they deserve with these clever jewelry storage ideas. Full of hanging options fit for a blank wall, color-coordinated drawer organizers, and pretty surface-top storage, most of these ideas are simple to DIY with budget-friendly materials you may already have on hand. Once you pick the jewelry organizer that's right for your stash and space, get ready to DIY ... and ogle at your sparkly jewels.
Magnetic Jewelry Display
Even though this jewelry organizer is pretty enough to be out on display, it's practical, too. The section that holds stud earrings is magnetic, so it can easily be detached for easy access.
Stud Earring Storage
Instead of throwing your studs in a bowl or trinket tray, keep 'em paired up by storing them in this DIY earring organizer. You can even use it to hold rings, brooches, or other dainty jewels.
Monogram Jewelry Storage
Make the most out of your jewelry storage by turning it into a personalized focal point. Test your woodworking skills by carving your initials or monogram, as well as drilling the perfect amount of spots to hold your earrings, bracelets, and necklaces.
Framed Jewelry Storage
Give your earrings the fine-art treatment they deserve by DIYing an organizer with a painted frame and a decorative aluminum sheet, from which you can hang all earring types.
Hardware Jewelry Organizer
If you think that pulls and knobs only work for drawers and cabinets, then think again. Repurpose hardware — either new or vintage — for an eclectic jewelry display idea that works for necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more.
Bowl Collection Organizer
Bowls, teacups, and small plates keep your jewelry items contained (and tangle free) within a matching set, or a charmingly mismatched collection.
Thread Rack Organizer
While it's typically used to organize spools of thread, this easy-to-hang wall storage is a great way to keep jewelry tidy, too. Attach it to the back of any closet door to help maintain your room's aesthetic.
Recycled Jewelry Display
Here’s a DIY idea that you can feel good about: This environmentally friendly project uses an empty shoe box and paper towel rolls to hold bracelets and watches. Cover any recyclables in fabric or scrapbook paper for a pretty, personalized look
Mounted Tray Display
This idea rethinks the traditional use for flatware trays. Instead of using them for horizontal storage within drawers, try mounting them vertically on a wall and storing your jewelry within.
Mounted Cork Organizer
Store your jewelry while adding visual flair to your space by sticking these patterned cork squares to a blank wall. Scatter push pins and hang your necklaces, bracelets, or headbands.
Framed Pegboard Display
For earring collectors, this idea is as practical as they come: Simply attach metal screening to a framed pegboard, and hang studs, hoops, and dangly earrings in one spot.
Tiered Jewelry Storage
It’s easy, affordable, and downright charming to display your baubles in a tiered dessert presentation. Scour thrift shops for vintage plates and candlesticks, and attach them for a display that’s as pretty as it is functional.
Colorful Drawer Organizers
Your jewelry is likely to end up in a tangled mess if you toss it straight into one drawer. Keep drawers tidy with simple DIY organizers, made colorful with scrapbook paper of your choosing.
Twig Jewelry Holder
Give your jewelry display a rustic look by turning a found branch into a natural jewelry holder. You can easily scale your project with a branch sized to fit your jewelry collection, and available dresser space.
