Ideas for Organizing Earrings

There are many different ideas for organizing earrings that will help to keep them free from damage and stop them from getting lost.

Earrings can be difficult to look after. Everyone has experienced the frustration of finding a single earring at the bottom of a drawer or of discovering an earring tangled within a chain, causing damage to both the chain and the earring. Keeping earrings well stored is an important part of looking after jewelry.

Organizing earrings isn’t simply a case of hanging them on an earring tree or other organizer. When you own several pairs, organizing them so that they are easy to find is also important. Ideas for organizing earrings includes:

These are perhaps one of the most difficult types of earring to look after. Tiny studs, such as emerald stud earrings can get caught up with other earrings or pieces of jewelry and are easy to lose. The posts on stud earrings can get bent or twisted out of shape and the butterfly clips on the back can also get lost. Organizing stud earrings by placing them in a special organizer and storing them in size order from the largest to smallest will help to make finding the perfect earrings for an occasion simple and straightforward.

Long dangling earrings such as long silver earrings should be stored so that they are hung up or laid down carefully. If they are left loose in a jewelry box they risk damage. Very expensive dangling earrings should be placed in a small box within a jewelry organizer to keep them safe from damage. Twists may cause the earrings to snap or pull apart.

Hoop earrings or hoop earring sets can be difficult to store as they are large and often take up a lot of room. One idea for organizing earrings such as these is to store them lying flat in a jewelry drawer or inside a separate box. Fragile hoop earrings, for instance those that are made from hollow gold or silver may get dented and therefore need special care.

There are many benefits to correctly storing earrings. These include:

• Hygiene – earrings that are worn in pierced ears need special care. The ear wire or post goes through the ear and as such can introduce dirt that may irritate or cause an infection. To avoid this, the earrings should be stored correctly. Check earrings before wearing them to ensure that the posts or ear wires look clean and are free from damage.

• Free from damage – finding that one of a pair of earrings is damaged is very frustrating, particularly when they are an old favorite. Keeping earrings well stored will reduce the risk of damage and will help to ensure that earrings are kept in great condition for many years to come.

• Easy to find – many earrings are very small and sometimes when they are kept loose amongst other jewelry items can be difficult to find. Storing earrings so that they are easy to find means that the perfect earring will always be on hand. This reduces the frustration of not being able to find the right pair of earrings for an occasion and can also help to save money as new earrings will not need to be purchased.

Keeping earrings safe and well organized may seem a time consuming task. However, the benefit of being able to place your hands on the right pair of earrings quickly and easily is not to be underestimated and helps to make the organization of earrings worthwhile.
