From earrings to necklaces: 5 tips for storing jewelry in style

October 06, 2025

Who hasn't known, as a teenager or even afterwards, the famous jewelry box in which bracelets, rings and necklaces were stored in bulk without any logic? It was a real mess, making it hard to find your way around.

To remedy the situation, follow these tips for organizing your jewelry. A good idea to save time and avoid spending precious minutes looking for the right piece to match your outfit for the day. It's also the ideal way to look after your jewelry and get a clear view of the pieces you own so you can match them to your best advantage... without necessarily breaking the bank.

1. Organize jewelry by theme

Before thinking about where to store your jewelry, it's a good idea to think about how to organize it, to make your life easier when selecting it. Here are a few ideas to help you sort your jewellery by theme:

  • by material: gold, silver, stainless steel, or even by type of stone, etc.

  • by color: especially if you like colorful costume jewelry with pearls or rhinestones,

  • by frequency of use: you can group together the pieces you wear every day and separate them from those you reserve for special occasions,

  • by type: you can also arrange them by type: rings with rings, necklaces with necklaces, bracelets together, etc.

2. How to store your necklaces? A hanging display

Anyone who owns many pendants has wondered how to store necklaces without tangling them. No matter how long they are, chains have a tendency to get tangled up in each other - and even more so if your jewels are all jumbled up in a box. So it's essential to think about how to organize your necklaces so they don't get tangled up.

The best way to store jewelry of this type is to hang it up. There are a number of necklace organizers on the market today. Among them, we particularly recommend necklace holders and other displays, which come in all shapes and sizes, to suit all tastes and budgets.

These displays will also make it easier for you to locate your various pieces. A must-have for saving time, while adding an original decorative touch to your home.

3. Arrange earrings in pairs

When it comes to storing earrings, the most important thing is always to arrange them in pairs, to prevent one from getting lost. Most dedicated storage units will allow you to organize them in pairs. Then it's up to you to decide how you'd like to store your earrings. And if you feel like wearing them mismatched, or asymmetrically - this is a trend, see our article on the subject.

First of all, there are display stands, which hang and display your earrings, making them easier to visualize when choosing them. Boxes are also available to store your jewels: they are more designed to protect them. You won't be able to admire them, but rather keep them safe and ensure they last longer.

4. Store rings in boxes or organizers

Where to store them depends on the number of rings you have. When you buy them in a jewelry store, they're usually sold with an elegant case - as at MATY. In themselves, these little boxes are perfect for storing and protecting your jewels. However, if you like to collect rings, it goes without saying that these cases will quickly become cumbersome. You'll also find it hard to tell them apart and find your different jewels.

Here again, there are ring holders and organizers to arrange them as you wish, according to your taste and sense of detail. If you're not interested in visualization, you can opt for a tray that slips into a drawer to keep your rings neatly organized. Alternatively, there are ring holders in all shapes and sizes, modern or retro, classic or baroque, to suit your every whim!

5. Opt for a wristwatch holder: the right storage solution to avoid tangles

Bracelets often pose the same kind of problems as necklaces: if you don't take care of them, they tend to get tangled. Here again, the best way to store them is with a bracelet holder. It's an ingenious way to store your jewelry efficiently and easily. And if you're short of space or have few bracelets, you can mount them on the same support as your necklaces.

Plenty of storage space for your jewelry

A number of practical accessories are available to keep your necklaces, rings, earrings and bracelets in order, without damaging them.

However, if you don't feel like investing in jewelry organizers, you can create your own using coat hooks, hangers, cardboard rolls or key rings! DIY (Do it Yourself) solutions are also plentiful and inexpensive.

And don't forget to put your watches away!

Watches, like jewelry, deserve special attention when it comes to storage, to preserve their beauty and functionality. By organizing them correctly, you'll avoid scratches and damage, and make their daily selection easier. MATY offers an elegant imitation leather watch storage box, ideal for protecting your precious timepieces. This type of storage not only offers optimum protection but also adds a sophisticated touch to your storage space. You can also opt for individual cases for each watch, or specially designed boxes to hold several watches, enabling orderly and practical organization. Caring for your watches in this way ensures that they remain in perfect condition, ready to be worn on any occasion.
