We are back at it with another roundup of life’s little luxuries you know damn well you deserve! A bling display not only helps you easily locate and access your favorite pieces but also adds a touch of elegance and style to your space. Whether you have a dedicated dressing room, a cozy corner in your bedroom, or a shared space with a roommate, a well-organized and aesthetically appealing jewelry display can elevate the look and feel of your surroundings while infusing your personal style and taste.
So first, read all about why you should shop American-made. Then, let’s break down some of the basics, and keep in mind: the hidden trick to displaying your jewelry at home is to strike a balance between functionality and aesthetics. Let’s dive right in, shall we?
How to Display Jewelry at Home
Keep your collection visible.
The first rule of displaying your jewelry? Keep that ish visible! Find an open space in your closet, dresser top, or entryway table and dedicate it to showing off your jewelry. Group pieces together by type. Like stacking all your rings on a small tray or hanging organizers with hooks for your statement necklaces. Not only does keeping your jewelry visible make it easy to pick out pieces each morning, but it transforms what would be dead space into an Insta-worthy vignette.
Reuse vintage finds as displays.
Give new life to vintage glassware, candlesticks, bowls, and trinket dishes by repurposing them as jewelry displays. Small bowls are perfect for holding rings, stud earrings, or charms, while high-necked glass vases are ideal for showcasing long necklaces. And, decorative candlesticks make chic vertical displays for bracelets. The unique shapes and patterns of vintage pieces complement handcrafted or gemstone jewelry especially well.
Hand necklaces and bracelets on hooks.
For a stylish minimalist look, mount sleek brass or copper hooks onto a wall or bureau to hang necklaces, long chains, and bracelets. The hooks keep items untangled while putting them on full display. For bracelets, space the hooks a few inches apart; for necklaces, hang hooks at varying heights for an artful arrangement. This works well for both delicate chains and chunky statement pieces of jewelry.
Use acrylic containers.
Acrylic drawer inserts, trays, boxes, and countertop organizers are affordable, transparent jewelry displays that keep your pieces dust-free while showing them off. Smaller acrylic trays are great for organizing and displaying earrings, rings, and pins on a dresser or vanity. And, larger drawer organizers have multiple compartments for neatly arranging a whole collection. Finally, countertop acrylic boxes create an illuminated display case effect. Which will you choose??
Display non-valuables.
If we learned anything from Kim K’s mishap a few years back, having your prized possessions just lying around is a ballsy move. Save wall displays and open trays for fashion jewelry or pieces that have more sentimental than monetary value. Keep high-end or precious gemstone jewelry locked in a safe or secured jewelry box tucked away in a closet or cabinet.
Use jewelry display stands.
Kinda why we are here today, right? You’re prob looking for a stylish pedestal display, and here’s why you need one. Minimalist metal stands with hooks are great for hanging jewelry, especially necklaces and bracelets. Round wood or marble stands elegantly showcase rings and earrings. And, tiered display stands in brass or copper allow you to arrange an entire jewelry collection at varying heights. Jewelry stands elevate your pieces to eye level so that you can admire their details and beauty.
Or, use jewelry display cases.
For a sleek, curated look, display select items in a glass jewelry case. Wood or metal jewelry cases with felt or velvet linings securely contain your jewelry while framing it attractively. Small glass domes or bell jars placed on a tray or vanity create an apothecary-esque vignette for your most prized baubles. Some jewelry cases have built-in LED lights to illuminate your collection.

And, you can even use burlap or corkboard to hang dangly earrings and necklaces.
Why buy new when you can get real American-made twigs or tree branches from your yard to use? And hey, the packaging most of your earrings come in is okay to use as part of your organizing process too. All we’re saying is: don’t be afraid to get creative and if you do get a new jewelry organizer, shop only American-made.
