How to Store Earrings? Tips and Tricks To Know

Statement earrings are a great way to add flair and personality to your outfits or to make your hairstyle pop. However, their bold and intricate designs can be tricky to store and organize. If you have trouble finding or organizing your statement earrings, it's time to learn how to store them properly. In this blog, we’ll go over our favorite tips and tricks on how to store your earrings while learning the importance of properly storing them.

How to Organize Earrings? Tips for an Organized Statement Earrings Collection

You can use various methods to store and organize your statement earrings. You can choose one method or a combination of them, depending on your space and the number of earrings you own.

Using an Earring Organizer 

One of the easiest ways to keep your statement earrings in order is by using an earring organizer or jewelry boxes. This can be a stand, tray, or box for earrings. These organizers come with different compartments and slots to separate your earrings. Some even have special hooks for hanging your dangly earrings with clip-ons or omega backs.

Utilizing Ice Cube Trays 

Believe it or not, ice cube trays are not just for making ice! They can also be a great way to store and organize your statement earrings. The compartments are the perfect size for most earrings, and you can easily stack the trays in a drawer or on a shelf. Plus, they're inexpensive and easy to find at any dollar store.

Using Pill Boxes 

A pill box can be a perfect solution if you have smaller statement earrings that tend to get lost in bigger compartments. These small boxes have multiple compartments that are great for storing stud or hoop earrings. You can even label each compartment with the type of earrings you store there.

Using Vintage Plates 

If you're a fan of vintage decor, why not incorporate it into your earring storage? Vintage plates can be a beautiful and unique store of statement earrings. Attach some hooks or wires to the back of the plate and hang it on your wall. 

You can also stack plates on top of each other to create a tiered display. Not only is this a functional storage solution, but it also adds a charming touch to your room's decor while displaying your earrings.

DIY Earring Holder 

You don't necessarily need to buy a pre-made earring organizer; you can easily make one yourself using materials you probably already have at home. For example, you can use a piece of fabric and an embroidery hoop to create a hanging earring holder. Or, use a cork board and pushpins to create an earring display on your wall.

Factors to Consider in Earring Storage

 

When organizing your statement earrings, consider the following factors:

Protection

Choose a storage method that safeguards your earrings from damage. Avoid storing them in a way that causes bending or tangling with other jewelry pieces.

Accessibility 

Ensure easy access to your earrings. Don't spend excessive time searching for them.

Organization

Keep your earrings well-organized, making finding and matching them with your outfits easier.

Display

Showcase your statement earrings in a visually appealing way, such as using a jewelry stand or display case.

Maintenance

Regularly clean and maintain your earrings to preserve their quality and shine.

Remember these factors to keep your statement earrings in top condition and easily accessible. Also, even though you store them properly, proper cleaning and maintenance is necessary to keep them shiny and as good as new!

How to Store Hoop Earrings

Hoop earrings, especially larger ones, can easily tangle or get bent out of shape if not stored properly. Here are some tips to keep them organized:

• Use a hanging earring organizer with small hooks to prevent tangling.

• Store smaller hoops in a pill box or sectioned jewelry box.

• Use straws or small tubes to thread hoops through, keeping pairs together.

• Keep them in individual pouches to prevent scratching and tangling.

How to Store Big Earrings

Big statement earrings require extra care to prevent damage. Here’s how to store them effectively:

• Lay them flat in a jewelry tray with individual compartments.

• Hang them on a jewelry stand to keep them visible and untangled.

• Store them in a fabric-lined jewelry box with dividers.

• Use small ziplock bags to store each pair separately.

How to Store Hanging Earrings

Hanging earrings, such as chandelier or drop earrings, need a method that prevents tangling and maintains their shape:

• Use a jewelry stand with hooks to hang them neatly.

• Store them in a hanging earring organizer with clear pockets.

• Keep them in a jewelry box with designated earring slots.

• Clip them onto a ribbon or fabric strip and mount it inside a frame for an elegant display.

How to Store a Lot of Earrings

If you have an extensive earring collection, organization is key. Here are some strategies:

• Use a multi-tiered jewelry organizer to maximize space.

• Categorize earrings by type (studs, hoops, dangles) and store them separately.

• Utilize a pegboard with hooks to create a wall-mounted display.

• Invest in a stackable jewelry box with labeled compartments.
