I keep mine in stacked boxes and have the same problem. I was thinking of having little labels made for each.

I had to store my boxes in the attic. They were taking up too much space. Plse share if you find labels. I do have a label maker but I don’t like that look. Was even think about hand stitching the name of the earrings on the pouches but they are too thick.

Yes I will. I need a new solution also. I currently have my boxes stacked in rows and on top of each other in shelves of an open cabinent, so it is not very convenient. I think a better idea than labels is to change to an enclosed display system where the items can be displayed on Hermès or other painted porcelain trays so it is pretty to look at, but will not be exposed to the elements.

I purchased a Hermès ashtray and it arrived a few days ago. I got the chain d’ancre in blue. It’s so pretty.

I have been through different storage stages .

1). In the beginning I kept everything in its box but that took up too much room and it was too difficult to search for pieces. And of course I quickly ran out of room in my safe for boxes.

2) A lovely sales associate suggested that I store everything in its pouch and use a labeler to label each pouch. That worked for a while, but I found it very annoying to have to take multiple pouches out to find the piece I was looking for.

3). A dear friend with a jewelry collection much larger than mine recommended a Lori Grenier jewelry storage piece (from QVC). I adore it because everything is in one place, The compartments are see-through ( so easy to find what you’re looking for) and it fits in my safe. I don’t keep any necklaces in it, only my earrings and bracelets. I keep my necklaces in pouches and label the pouches with my labeler.

Sbelle- maybe it would help if you show us a picture of your jewelry in actual storage (she said hoping sbelle would fall for the ruse and treat us with some eye candy)


Hahahah haha Hahahah

So a different SA assisted me yesterday and mentioned that there will be a white gold frivole coming out in April - sort of similar to the 3-frivole mini that came out last year. First time I heard of it and because she’s not my usual, not sure how much to trust her intel. Anyone heard the same?

I haven’t been on in a while....tried to catch up reading all the posts that I forgot to ask my question.

I have two pottery barn McKenna jewelry box. Large and the vertical armoire.

I was wondering how everyone keeps their earrings. My armoire has a deep drawer and I keep my earrings in there in their pouches. But when I’m searching for a specific pair, it takes a while to go through each pouch. I was thinking about writing on the outside of the pouches with a pen or a sharpie lol. I haven’t yet so I’m wondering if I should just take them out of the pouches. But I have so many earrings from other designers I just don’t know how I should store my vca earrings. My other earrings are laying where the rings should go.

I keep all mine in clear plastic baggies which I bought at a jewelry supply. One earring in a small baggie, inside a slightly larger baggie with the other earring. A necklace will have its own baggie. I generally put these inside a VCA pouch, with like items together or what I wear together. For instance, my byzantine will all be in baggies, then placed together in one pouch. My WMOP Alhambra and Onyx alhambra (b/c I wear them together) will be separately bagged and in another pouch, etc.

Although all the green pouches look alike, once I find one, at least that "collection," is together, but things are often in different places. I'm afraid to put everything in one chest or one box . . . take the chest and it's all gone.

As far as the boxes are concerned, they're stored separately, but it's getting a little crazy-critical shelf space is taken up by empty boxes. Marie Kondo would have a fit . . .

This is a great question and I'd love to hear how others keep their jewelry.



I'm always afraid to put my jewelry
