Jewelry is quite an investment. Unfortunately, most pieces end up neglected at the bottom of a drawer or in a box. Storing and organizing jewelry with the right displays can help keep this from happening. In fact, keeping bracelets, necklaces, and rings in sight on a stand or in a velvet lined jewelry tray makes selecting pieces more efficient.

Bracelet Stands
Many people are used to seeing these plastic display stands on the counter in a store, but hardly think of one for the dresser. The bracelet stand makes a perfect way to display and organize bracelets and necklaces. After all, a tie rack is considered essential for men's ties. Why should a woman go without a bracelet stand for her jewelry? These stands make it easy to organize bracelets, so women can see exactly what they own.

Velvet Lined Jewelry Trays
Other items, such as rings and broaches, are better protected in velvet lined jewelry trays. These trays fit neatly into a woman's jewelry box to keep small pieces safe when not needed. The velvet lining also protects soft metals, glass, and precious gemstones from getting scratches. Some velvet jewelry trays are divided into sections to keep like items organized. Soft, padded ring inserts included in some trays keep rings upright and securely in place. This further prevents damage from pieces rubbing against one another in the tray.

Ring Holders
A ring holder is intended to keep rings on display, making it simple to grab a ring and go. Often resembling upright fingers or conical projections, these plastic displays may or may not be lined with velvet material. Women who own a lot of rings, but are limited in tabletop space can use these ring holders instead. Holders with one or two "fingers" handle a three to six rings. Larger holders with more projections can hold a large collection.

Velvet Jewelry Bags
Women without a lot of space on their dressers may prefer velvet jewelry bags. Decorative pouches with drawstring closures, these bags hold a small amount of jewelry for safe keeping. Highly decorated jewelry bags make excellent purses to carry on an evening out. Also, small velvet bags are small enough to slip into a larger purse, if a woman plans on changing her look halfway through the day.

Properly storing and organizing jewelry only requires a few stands and trays. These tools keep jewelry secure and protect it from damage. Women may even find it easier to wear all of their jewelry when it is easy to see and use.
