You’ll be so glad you did—and wonder why on earth you didn’t do it sooner.
Best necklace jewelry organizer
Umbra Gold Tribeca Necklace Stand
This gold-hued necklace organizer makes displaying all your best necklaces a breeze—and it’s ideal for bracelets, too. Three graduated tiers—the tallest measuring 18.5 inches—work for even the longest pendants, and it’s sturdy enough for statement necklaces, too. This stand works well on a vanity or dresser top because its 9-inch-by-4-inch base doesn’t take up a lot of room.
Best bracelet holder
7th Velvet Bracelet Stand
Delicate tennis bracelets and chunky bangles can be tricky to store, with smaller pieces getting lost under oversize ones and charms potentially bending and breaking off. Secure your pieces on the bars of this luxurious-looking three-layer velvet organizer. There’s space for up to 30 of your favorites, with each bar able to hold up to 10 bracelets and watches. Here are more organizing ideas you’ll wish you knew all along.
