Jewelry storage is so tricky, don’t you think? I have my accessories draped on hooks and dumped in trinket bowls, and the whole effect comes across as sloppy. I think the clear solution is a Bling Box.


You can customize your Bling Box with dozens of backgrounds, but my favorite is this painterly scene by artist Amy Sia. I think it would elevate my jumbled bangles and tangled pedants to a work of art.
Jewelry storage is a huge problem for me. I have an overflowing jewelry box, an overloaded jewelry stand, and several jewelry catch-alls that are at capacity. So you know I’m swooning over this bathroom by Molly Luetkemeyer of M. Design Interiors Inc.

I love the idea of bringing all your baubles out in the open, and turning them into an arresting (and easily accessible) display. I’m also digging the way that a lot of the colors in the beads complement the colors of the bathroom itself. Hesitant about taking over an entire wall? This DIY jewelry organizer is another charming way to show off your charms.
Sometimes I long for the days of glamorous vanities with jewelry boxes organized just so.
Short of being able to turn the clock back to more luxurious times, we can at least attempt to organize our (faux) jewels more beautifully. Liz Stanley of Say Yes to Hoboken made this necklace holder from a thrift store frame and knobs from Anthropologie. Much prettier than my own push-pin-in-the-wall technique.
For the 12 days leading up to Christmas, I’ve been sharing with you my design wish list for Santa. We’re more than half-way there. Now, I know I’m crossing the line and treading into fashion with wish list item #8 – a bracelet from Nervous System – but I think it’s worth it.
Two MIT graduates founded Nervous System. All of their housewares and jewelry designs are grounded in natural forms and geometries. For instance, this bracelet is inspired by radiolaria.
If you’re wishing for jewelry this Christmas, what’s at the top of your list?
