Storage Ideas: Tiered Jewellery Plates

I love jewellery. Be they fashion or of the finer varieties because they just add a special touch to the final look of any outfit and accessorising allow you to portry a style that is uniquely you. 

So throughout the years, I've amassed plenty of earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets - yes, I have an addiction for them as much as I have for beauty.

Now I don't know how most of you store your jewelery but I like mine easily accessible in the mornings after I've dressed so I can coordinate with my outfits.

I used to find trinket boxes and the like to store them in but found it hard to pick up a matching pair of earrings amongst the tangle of other earrings or easily take out that necklace without it interwined with other necklaces. I now only store the larger items like chunky necklaces in these boxes and for smaller items like stud earrings and rings, I was looking for a cute plate to store them in.

I found this three-tiered plate jewellery holder the other day when going shopping for clothing during the boxing day sale. Each plate is decorated with pretty polka-dot and tear-drop designs and becomes smaller each tier up. Look how much of my jewellery I've can put on the plate as it's tiered, I can put more things without taking up too much precious vanity space.

I also loop necklaces and hook dangle earrings on the side of the black handle bars for added storage- bonus!

I haven't really noticed any great deal of tarnishing on my fashion jewellery and I think this has to do with the fact that my vanity is in a dark dry corner of the room (which means I need lights on every morning to put on my makeup), away from the window, sunlight and draughts. I keep them looking shiny by polishing with a silver cloth and and usually by the time the fashion jewellery starts to discolour, I've already moved on to other pieces and ready to retire the incumbent items.

Pretty and functional jewellery stand

There are many jewelery stands and boxes out there but it's sometimes hard to find a pretty jewellery stand that can actually hold more than a few pieces of items, particularly hook earrings as these need their own slots for each earring.

So it was a great find the other day when I stumbled across the prettiest dressmaker's mannequin inspired wire jewellery stand.

It is sturdy and stable and has many holes to hook your earrings around the wire skirt, turning the dress into a pretty kaleidoscope of your favourite earrings while the wire arms allow you to drap necklaces and bracelets over on top.

Don't you think she is a wonderful piece of functional art?
