If you're a fan of upcycling old stuff and DIY like me, these ideas are for you...
Let's get your jewellery sorted and stashed!
CHECKLIST FOR ACTION
Start by taking everything out and spread it out on a big table.
- Pair up studs and replace missing butterfly backs
- Untangle necklaces and bracelets
- Check clasps work and jump rings are fully closed.
- Check brooch pin clasps are tight.
- Check stone settings in rings are secure.
- Sort into four piles - decide what you want to keep, what needs repair, what you would like to upcycle and what to give away.
- Give everything a good clean and store away carefully as per this general Jewellery Care Guide.
- Hang or store separately from one another
TIP: I like to group things in 'stories' that I would wear together or that have an element in common, such as a material, colour or style
Two Jewellery Display Ideas from the Bird of Prey Playbook.
Repurpose louvre shutters
Old wooden shutters are great for hanging earrings with hooks, and you can easily drape necklaces through the slats.
Then mix it up with some art, dried flowers or whatever takes your fancy.
Upcycle an old suitcase
I found this one on the roadside! As jewellery stash holders, these work best when turned up on their ends, so they open like a book. If you sit it flat, the traditional way, jewellery can fall off or tangle with pieces in the bottom half when opening and closing.
Customise the lining with old map paper or vintage fabric to suit your vibe.
