Customer Question – How Do I Organize Lots of Costume Jewelry?

May 14, 2009

I received an inquiry from a valued Organized A to Z customer asking about sorting and organizing jewelry. She was inheriting a large amount of costume jewelry and wanted to know the best way to categorize and sort without damaging anything.

That’s a great question! Having your jewelry properly organized not only helps you find what you need when you want to wear it, but it also helps you inventory it, track its value, and keep it safe, clean, and in good condition.

There are several ways to sort jewelry:

• Most valuable to least valuable (I know you said it was all costume jewelry, but some might be of more value than others. You may have to consult a dealer to get advice in this area)
• Sort by type (earrings, bracelets, necklaces, rings, pendants) – this makes the most sense and is easiest to store based o the products on the market today.
• Sort by color (if you choose to color coordinated with your outfits, this is the easiest way to find your accessories fast
