Tropical Earring Tree
From LoveToKnow Jewelry
When you are looking for a way to keep earrings stored safely, a tropical earring tree may be just the solution!
Whether you have just come back from a special holiday or simply wish to create a tropical theme in your room, earring organizers with a tropical feel can bring a touch of glamor as well as being practical jewelry storage.
Storing Earrings
All jewelry benefits from proper storage and this includes earrings of all types. Earrings are notoriously difficult to keep safely stored. Tiny earrings can get caught with other items of jewelry and large, dangly earrings can get twisted or bent out of shape. Therefore a dedicated earring organizer such as an earring box or earring organizer is often the best way to ensure that earrings are kept together in their sets and safe from damage. Another reason why storing earrings safely is important is that earrings for pierced ears in particular must be kept clean to avoid causing infections.
Tropical Earring Tree Organizers
Earring organizers with lots of branches to hold earrings are known as earring trees. These can be the perfect way to store earrings of all types and in addition to being a practical jewelry organizer, they can also make great room accessories. Earring trees can be found in many shapes and sizes, and created from a variety of different materials. One popular type of earring tree is the tropical earring tree and this can help create a little piece of tropical paradise in your own home!
Tropical earring organizers are often shaped as palm trees, with the long and distinctive palm leaf creating the ideal home for long and dangling earrings as well as small and delicate stud earrings.
Features of a Tropical Themed Earring Tree
Here are some of the features that are found in tropical earring trees:
Material – Earring trees shaped as palm trees are often created from wood. This gives a natural feel to the organizer and looks great when combined with many different room themes. In addition to natural wood, however, bright colors also conjure up the feel of the tropics. Brightly colored plastic and acrylic earring trees can look great and be just the thing to bring a bit of fun into a room décor.
Branches – All earring trees have 'branches' and these are what holds the earrings together. Some branches allow the earrings to be looped over them, others have small holes so the earrings can be poked through and fastened. For an earring tree to have a tropical feel, the branches are likely to be similar to a palm tree – perhaps even with an added coconut!
Style – The style of an earring tree with a tropical theme needn't just be palm tree related. Other types of earring organizer could include a design based on a desert island or perhaps something beach related.
Where to Buy
- Oragnize.com sells a colorful palm tree and surfboard earring tree.
- Tropic Zone (an Etsy shop) sells a unique tropical bamboo screen earring organizer.
- EarringHolders.com sells cute earring screen holders with beach and tropical scenes.
- With their wood construction, the earring trees at Porter House Crafts lend a tropical feel.
- Toucan Unlimited sells tropical dark wood earring trees for the ultimate organization and style.
Tropical themed earring holders can be difficult to find, so another consideration is to dress up a standard earring tree or organizer with small craft items like palm trees, tropical flowers, birds, or other enhancements to create the theme.
Using an Earring Tree
Here are some tips to help you get the most from your tropical earring tree:
- Earring trees are simple to use, the hardest thing about using one is getting into the habit of storing earrings safely. This is why it is useful to get children used to putting their jewelry away in a children's jewelry box and their earrings on a children's earring tree holder.
- Before putting earrings away on a tropical earring tree it is a good idea to clean them following any specific instructions from the manufacturer and also to check that the earrings are free from damage. The parts of the earring to check are the earring posts to ensure that they are not working loose and the jump rings at the top of pendant earrings to make sure that these have not pulled open which might result in the earring getting lost.
- Care should also be taken when dusting earring trees to ensure that the earrings do not get caught on the duster. Simply blowing the dust away may be a better way of keeping the earrings dust free.
A tropical themed earring tree is a lovely way to keep earrings safe and sound while also giving an exotic touch to a dressing table. These will complement many room styles and will give many years of good service.
