Jewelry Storage

I travel a ton. Whether it be going back and forth from home to school or spring break, or ski trips or heading down to our lake house in Georgia, I seem to always be on the go for extended periods of time. With this said, I have jewelry separation issues... This is very weird for me too, because when wearing jewelry I stick to the basics: pearls, pearls, and more pearls.. a girl can never have too many pearls.. right?For my 15th birthday, from my grandparents, I got a stunning diamond ring... I mean jaw dropping-ly gorgeous; sadly, I don't wear it enough because it is set in gold, and I am a big silver person for everyday wear. Well, because I got the said diamond ring, my grandparents also got me a beautiful, large, velvet lined jewelry box. I love it and used it all throughout high school to store all of "good" jewelry.Going to college, it just wasn't practical or safe for me to bring my entire jewelry box. For one, it was too large and would take up too much space, and secondly, you take one look at it and know it is a jewelry box.. Needless to say I would have been devastated if someone were to have somehow stolen that jewelry box. So I needed to find a more practical way of storing my jewelry and toting it from destination to destination.

Enter the make up trunk. I got one as a gift junior year and I never really cared for the make up that came with it, but the case seemed practical so I kept it around. A light bulb came on and now my make up trunk is my jewelry box.This is the faux-croc case. Bad picture because of my BB.This is when you open it. I love that as soon as I open it, I can see all of my options and everything is very easily accessible.

These are little ring holders that I've removed from small travel cases. They fit perfectly in the top tray and give some organization for some of my rings. I also have way too many pearls. I keep my real pearls at home though so they are not in this jewelry box.

Bracelets and necklaces. I use two small tiffany boxes to hold yurman cuffs, tiffany silver, and other silver jewelry. I use all of the little dust cases to hold necklaces, and in the back, the silver case holds fun dangle earrings.

This is just an insert that came in one of my jewelry boxes. I removed it, poked holes in it with a thumb tack and added stud earrings. This makes them all laid out for me to see what I have and also lets me easily keep track of them and keep them together.For the bottom I added earrings that were just too large to fit anywhere else, underneath them are some random necklaces that I don't wear often that I put in a plastic medicine case to keep them separate so they don't tangle. Then I have some of my watches that I love the best so I always have my pick!

When I finally settle down in my own place at some point, I hope to get something like this. It's a jewelry armoire and it's actually not very pricey either! But unfortunately, that just doesn't make too much sense for me at the moment. What are your favorite ways to store your jewelry? Do you have any neat tips to store your jewelry.. I'd love to know; I'm always looking for ways to improve my storage spaces! Have a fabulous day!
