Not only will displaying your jewelry let you admire all the beautiful pieces you have, but it will keep everything in good condition and organized. Organization ideas can be stylish as well as functional. 

Going through your jewelry will also give you the opportunity to weed out any pieces that you no longer want or need. 

Read on for our top eight ways to keep your accessories arranged.

1. Drawer Compartments 

If you have extra drawer space, storing your jewelry there is a great way to free up any counter space. You can choose from velvet or plastic drawer organizers. Velvet is the best choice for your valuable pieces of jewelry. The soft fabric will keep everything protected. 

Plastic or acrylic drawer compartments will help keep your less expensive jewelry organized. There are many different styles and sizes available. You will be able to easily access any piece you need with this very neat organization tool. 

2. Display on a Wall

Hanging your jewelry on a wall is perfect if you have a lot of long necklaces. Not only will it keep them free of getting tangled, but it will serve as wall art as well. You can use simple hooks that adhere to the wall to hang your necklaces as one way to display them. 

For something a little more involved, get a few pieces of thin wood. Screw the pieces into the wall, then attach the hooks to the wood to hang the necklaces. You can paint the piece of wood any color you like to customize it even more. 

If you'd like to display your earrings, you can purchase a thick chain and attach that to your wall. Loop your earrings through the links and you're good to go!

3. Jewelry Pocket Organizer and Boxes

If you've invested in some quality pieces of jewelry, you will want to take extra care of them. Check out some top of the line jewelry boxes that are lined with soft fabric. Many of them are made of top quality materials and can easily stack.

If you want to protect certain necklaces or earrings even more, you can purchase bags made of velvet or other fabrics. Store your jewelry in a drawstring bag for added protection. 

You can also purchase a hanging organizer to put in your closet. They come equipped with clear pockets so you can see what is in each one. This type of organizing solution is not recommended for more delicate pieces of jewelry. It is a space-efficient way to store all your costume jewelry. 

4. DIY Organizer 

If you have an old picture frame lying around, it can make for the perfect DIY organizer. Get a piece of corkboard that fits the frame and cover it with any type of fabric. Stick push pins into the cork and hang your necklaces and bracelets from the pins. 

You can also get a piece of mesh and put that in a picture frame. Hang your earrings with ease from the metal squares. Paint the picture from the color of your choice to make it pop while it hangs on your wall. 

5. Jewelry Armoire

A jewelry armoire is a classy way to organize jewelry. They come with drawers with built-in compartments to organize your necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings. An armoire is usually lined in velvet so every piece of jewelry you own will be well taken care of. 

You will be able to find that item you're looking for when everything is displayed in an elegant and classy way. A jewelry armoire also makes an excellent heirloom to pass on to future generations. 

6. Pegboard Jewelry Organizer
