Get a Vault

Jewelry theft results in an annual stolen value of up to $100 million. Do not fall victim to such a crime! Whether they are made of natural or artificial gems, protect your precious collection from thieves.

Even if the cost of lab grown diamonds is lower than traditional diamonds, they still need proper handling. It is easy to stay organized when you have a vault. When I say vault, I do not mean one of the large ones that look like a cabinet! Instead, you can find small ones that look like a mini drawer.

It can sit neatly on the top of a table or dresser. Some are small enough to fit even in a cabinet if you want the storage to be more discreet.

Invest in a Full-Body Mirror Cabinet

Speaking of being multipurpose, a full-body mirror is a great addition to your room. Do not pick just any mirror. Find one with built-in storage at the back, so you can use it to keep your jewelry spotless!

When you open the full-body mirror, it can reveal your jewelry collection. Find one with a tiered design, so you can easily separate your jewelry. Those that you often use should go on the top, so they are easy to access.

One thing that makes a full-body mirror armoire great is that it has a door. This will protect your investment from dirt and dust, among other things that can speed up wear.

Use an Ice Tray

Ice trays go to the fridge. That is probably what you are thinking right now! With a little creativity, however, there are many ingenious ways to use an ice tray. One great example is using it as a jewelry organizer. It is lightweight and compact, making it a space-efficient solution for jewels. To save space, you can even stack ice trays.

Because of the size of ice trays, however, they can accommodate only small jewelry pieces. It won’t fit items with large materials.

Repurpose a Tea Tray

Love hosting tea parties at home? Or do you like feeling fancy when enjoying a hot cup? Then you probably have a tea tray, which you can convert into a jewelry organizer! A three-tier tray works best for this hack. It is tall enough to have enough space for your jewelry. Best of all, it is an aesthetically pleasing addition to any room.

Keep larger and heavier pieces at the bottom, including watches, as well as bracelets and necklaces with large stones. The upper trays, meanwhile, are for smaller items like rings and earrings.

Use a Grater

Do you have a cheese or vegetable grater that you are no longer using? Bring it back to life and give it new meaning by repurposing it into a jewelry organizer.

Graters have holes in them, which is where you will be hooking your dangling earrings. Put the grater on top of a fancy plate to make it pretty! You can also paint the grater so that it looks better.

Turn a Shoebox into a Jewelry Box

There are tons of clever things to do with an old shoebox. It does not have to end up in the bin! Get a little creative and you can turn it into something useful, such as a jewelry organizer.

Get crafty and decorate a shoebox to match the look of the jewelry organizer that you like. Paint it with your choice of colors or hues that will complement your room. Inside the shoebox, add organizers, so your jewelry will not tangle. You can put layers of ice trays to keep the pieces separate.

Turn Driftwood into a Work of Art

Go eco-friendly and artsy by creating a jewelry organizer using driftwood. Cut the driftwood into a size suitable for the space you have or the jewelry you would like to keep.

Position the driftwood horizontally on the wall. Use twines and ropes to hold the driftwood in place. Add nails or hooks, which is where you will be hanging your jewelry.

Keep your room clean and protect your jewelry from theft or damage by organizing them! Get creative with jewelry storage solutions. You can repurpose a shoebox, driftwood, grater, and tea tray, among others.
