Now I don't know about you but my recent jewellery purchases have been centred around earrings, particularly studs. I've actually got a little over 20 of them now and I've been storing them in a small glass bowl. It gets pretty annoying when your trying to look for a particular pair..
See below.
After a little research I found that there are several ways one can do this. The prettier ideas involved getting cute boxes, adding styrofoam and voila! A cute stud earring storage system. Others talked of buying complex earring holders that left me doubtful of whether I could ever get my hands on them. So eventually I chose to go with the most simple, unflattering but practical and easily doable suggestion - an ice cube tray.
Oh yeeeaaaah.
Cheers to not spending ages looking for my little faux pearl stud earrings in the morning.
*clink*
Now I'm on a mission to find cuter ice cube trays! Either that or I'll need to spray paint this one.. It looks so weird having a plain white ice cube tray sitting on my dresser. Not the most flattering thing to have next to your perfumes or make up I tell you.
So now that the tray can only hold 16 of my studs, I put the little ones in it and leave the bigger ones in the glass bowl along with my rings.

Hope this helps!
So how do you store your jewellery?
I think I need Kim Kardashian's jewellery storage system. Never seen it before but can you imagine how elaborate it would be??
SUCH A good idea! I LOVE organization techniques! Such lovely ideas thanks! <3 Sarah

In case you can't follow that link (since I clicked through from Australian Ikea) it's a square rubber ice cube tray in pink with 'flower' shaped ice cube trays...they have different ones all the time. I have a red heart one that I actually use for ice :-)
Come to Melbourne and I'll take you to Ikea ;-)
The pink one is so cute! And only for $0.99??? You lucky thing, if only Ikea could come to Kenya.. But I'm taking up your offer - if I ever find my way in your side of the world we should defo go :)
