There are lots of good ideas here. I have my jewellery stored in boxes in the upper shelf of my closet, in a jewellery armoire that I bought at Walmart, and in 3 jewellery boxes. I love jewellery and have been collecting it since I was in public school. I inherited my mother's jewellery and her jewellery box.
I love beautiful boxes and have a collection stored away—long story.
I keep the jewellery that I am wearing in my jewellery boxes on my dresser. I like the look of the boxes. I have a big wooden one that my boyfriend bought me in the 70s, a blue leather one that was my mother's, and a wooden one that my mother bought me when I was about eleven years old.
