She says, “I would keep everything in its original packaging and put it in my closet.” It was so messy and difficult to find things! Paola isn’t talking about just four or five boxes. She has been collecting jewelry since she a teenager. It was time to declutter. Find Paola’s top jewelry storage tips below. Paola assures us that it doesn’t look complicated if you have pre-organizing nerves.
1. Any drawer will do, pick a drawer
Paola knew that her jewelry should be kept out of the public eye no matter where it was stored. She explains that she does have some jewelry on a tabletop but would not store all her jewelry there. She reorganized her dresser to make space for her new jewelry set. She moved the clothes from the top drawer into a lower drawer.

There is no reason to keep everything. You can live a more organized life and keep your jewelry pieces in different storage containers. You can use trays, dishes or acrylic makeup storage containers to organize your large jewelry collection.

Paola looked into storage compartments that she could fit Tetris-style in the drawer.

Most of my favorites pieces are stored so I can easily access them.
