How To Organise Jewellery and Handbags

Hey everyone. I finally got my jewellery and handbags organised in a way that I like. It’s tidy and shows me everything at a glance which makes it really easy to choose what to wear. Take a look below.

All you need to do this is :

A long hollow pole

String or Twine

Shower curtain hooks

All you need to do is thread the string through the hollow pole and then tie the ends to make a loop. I then placed the looped poles over some shelves in my room but if you don’t have shelves then you could hang them any way you want, maybe on a nail like hanging a picture.

After you have hung the poles just hook the shower curtain hooks to the pole and then hang your jewellery or your handbags from the hooks. Easy 🙂

I also used the poles to hang some random things that are difficult to find places for such as sunglasses and earphones.

Not only is this a good way to organise your things but it also looks really pretty and decorative.

For me, it was best to hang my longest necklaces and my rigidly round necklaces from the poles. For my other shorter necklaces I use the stand below which I bought a few years ago from Ebay.

For my earrings I use a matching stand which I also bought a few years ago from Ebay.

If you like you could hang bracelets and bangles from the poles but I liked to only put bracelets on the poles which matched necklaces already on the poles. For all other bracelets I use a black T-bar display which you can see at the top of the first image in this post.

 So let me know what you think. Would you do this? Or do you already organise your things in a cool way? 

Thanks for checking out my blog 🙂

Want some new jewellery? Want something a little bit different?

Then you should check out http://fashionpond.com

Fashion Pond is relatively new to the online jewellery scene having only been around for a year and a half so you may not have heard of it before. The jewellery on the website is imported from all over the world and they support small brands and emerging artists. Fashion Pond stock mostly handmade jewellery but they do also showcase other types of jewellery on occassion. The type of jewellery Fashion Pond  favours is mostly made from sterling silver and semi-precious stones.

At the moment Fashion Pond only ship in the USA but they are planning to expand globally soon.

I have had a rummage through the Fashion Pond website and here are my favourite pieces. It was very hard to choose my favourites as Fashion Pond stock collections from 13 different designers who all have very different styles.

pearl-and-glass-leaves-bracelet
This ‘Pearl Bracelet with Leaves’ is by Artan, a Polish designer, and it is on sale for $35.
I think that this would look particular lovely in springtime worn with a white dress. How would you wear it?
salsa-pendant
This ‘Salsa Pendant’ is by Paula Bolton, a British designer, and is on sale for $116.25.
I really like this since it is quite unusual looking. I  like the colours and think that they make the necklace wearable anywhere, at work, casually, going out or even at salsa classes 😉
lady-with-flowers-pin-pendant
This ‘Sterling Fairy Pendant’ is by Boutique Scandinavia and is on sale for $126.00.
Isn’t this lovely? Definitely a statement piece.
Now I would like to introduce you to my favourite designer : Caredan.
Caredan designs jewellery using gemstones from Brazil and natural products from the Brazilian countryside. The Caredan Collection is all handmade using a goldsmith process.
The collection is absolutely lovely. Here are my 2 favourite Caredan pieces :
pearl-and-gems-gold-earrings
These ‘Pearl and Gems Gold Earrings’ by Caredan are on sale for $93.
I love these, I think they look so elegant. Definitely special occassion earrings. 
flower-and-jade-earrings
These ‘Pink Jade Flower Earrings’ by Caredan are on sale for $142.75.
How gorgeous are these? I love the intricate looking gold flowers at the top and the gold and light pink just goes so well together.Want.Want. Want.

If you sign up for the Fashion Pond newsletter then you will have the chance of winning a pair of sterling silver Swarovski crystal earrings like the pair shown below.
