I don’t have a lot of jewellery. My thing is watches!

So I really just use a couple of hooks on the inside of my wardrobe door. The problem happens when I just keep throwing necklaces onto the hooks and eventually, it drives me crazy.

Like this – now I know it doesn’t look that bad but that’s because a hook fell off and I put those necklaces on some of the other hooks.

What did I do? I

• removed everything from the door
• decluttered stuff I never wear
• separated them into categories - earrings, pink and white set (only pink stuff I have), work necklaces, bracelets and weekend necklaces
• decided where to put new hooks (somewhat limited by the shelves when you close the door)
• hung everything up again, this time in an organised fashion

P.S. So they’re not the prettiest pictures in the world but they are organised – just keeping it real

Look at this clever idea for organising jewellery. A friend of mine received this as a gift and I, of course, immediately took some pics with my phone.

Those little pockets on the inside could be used for rings or earrings (studs) and bigger items could be placed right in the middle.

And then when you pull the cords shut, it looks like this: Beautiful and functional – what more could you want?!

If only I were crafty I’d make myself one of these for when I travel. I currently use a plastic container with cotton wool to cushion my jewellery. Maybe some of you crafty people can make some of these for gifts?

Don’t you love it? How do you store your jewellery?

P.S. This is how I store my watches and this is how I store my necklaces and bracelets (look at the picture).
