On display


A few weeks ago I shared with you all how I use my jewelry as decoration in my bedroom. If you missed it, check it out - I’m somewhat obsessed with statement necklaces, as you’ll see below. I also featured Stylist Rachel Zoe’s jewelry closet, which had me wondering how other people keep their jewelry - which brings us to today’s post. Some very impressive ladies, with some very amazing jewelry collections.


Above you see Kara Paslay’s display of necklaces, on knobs. Very unique. And below, as you will remember, is how I store my necklaces - on a tie rack.


Check out the office space for the Charlotte jewelry company, Towne & Reese, featured on Young House Love. Christi (one of the owners) bought these linen canvases in different shapes and sizes to display their jewelry collection. It’s definitely an easy and inexpensive way to showcase your jewels.


As always, I’m a sucker for Me Oh My’s Nicole Davis’ design aesthetic. Her jewelry collection, seen below, was featured on MadeByGirl and I’m obviously drooling over it. It looks so sophisticated and posh. Jealous.


The jewelry tree and bulletin board seen below belongs to Bex of Bex…a style diary. She made all of this herself with a frame, a piece of ply wood, leftover burlap, and some branches from outside. A very impressive DIY if you ask me.


And finally, you can’t go wrong with some tips from Martha Stewart. She pulled together these teacups to keep jewelry in. It looks so great in this drawer! I love the different sizes and patterns. After all, none of your jewelry is the same so why does what you store them in have to be?


I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling inspired to find new ways to display my jewelry. How about you?

The storing of the jewels


I admit it, I have a jewelry fetish. Necklaces are my drug. And I certainly don’t have a shortage of bracelets, earrings, and rings either. I’ve never been a huge fan of a traditional jewelry box, I like my jewelry to be out on display. Check out how I’ve made my jewelry a piece of art in my bedroom.

I use these colorful dishes for my earrings and rings. The purple bowl stores my thinner silver bracelets.


When I saw this funky orange dish at The Nest Egg in Fairfax, Virginia I knew that I had to have it. Even then orange was the dark horse and I didn’t even realize it! I love the color, the polka dots, and the gold trim. It’s just so fun.


I think that this tiny blue dish with a floral print contrasts perfectly with the orange dish. They work really well together and I love the flow on my dresser.

And for the piece de resistance, my necklaces.


The necklaces on the bottom are actually hanging on a tie rack that I bought at Bed Bath and Beyond. They keep all of my necklaces from getting all tangled up, and they’re really easy to see when I’m figuring out which necklaces will top off my outfit.


These necklaces are hanging on fancier hooks that I also bought from Bed Bath and Beyond. They were necessary as my necklace collection continued to grow. I’m getting a little worried, because we’re almost at capacity!
