I was asked recently to tackle the task of properly organizing earrings. There are a few things for us to consider, for even this seemingly small item.
How many pairs are there to store?
Are they dangly or studs?
Do you want them hidden away or out in plain sight?
Answers:
Gather all your earrings into one spot... look near the shower, the coffee table, your purse, where ever they may be hiding. Match up the pairs. If there are singles leftover, what is the likelihood of finding the match? If it's not likely, then toss or donate the loose earring.
Now, categorize your earrings - studs, dangly pairs, rhinestones, hoops, however it makes sense for how you wear your jewelry.
If there are some that you wear only for special occasions, those may be better tucked away with formal gowns, while the everyday pairs are visible on the dresser top. How often do you wear earrings? How many do you wear at a time (one hole or three in your ear)? How often do you change them? For example, you have three holes in each ear, but rarely change the studs in the second and third holes.
Now to the actual putting them away. Some hidden away ideas include:
Jewelry trays for inside a drawer, like these from Etsy
Hanging bags for inside a closet, like this travel one from Away
Even egg cartons, like this blogger used
For earrings that will stay visible, try any of the variety of counter top storage:
Be aware, that if earrings have backs to them, like with studs, use an organizer where both sides can easily be reached.
Personally, I have also kept my earrings in a jewelry box in the past. It's put away and just the right size for all my jewelry. But, with the clear lid, I can quickly glance inside to view the things I wear most often. The one I have is very similar to this Pottery Barn option.
