7 Creative Ways to Store Your Necklaces to Keep Them From Tangling

Our jewelry collection is an all-important part of our individual style and personality, completing a fashionable look, or wearing pieces that have a deep sentimental value. So, if anything happens to our necklaces, we won't be pleased!

Tangled-up necklaces can be incredibly frustrating, never mind how time-consuming it is to de-tangle them every time they get knotted up (which can also begin to weaken the chain). Tangling usually occurs when they've moved around with other accessories or been bunched up with other necklaces in the same jewelry box or container.

To keep our necklaces tidy and tangle-free, it's important to store them in a way that will keep them in perfect condition. So, we've gathered seven nifty and creative ideas to store your necklaces so you never have to worry about de-tangling them again!

1. Hang Your Necklaces on Decorative Hooks



Hanging your necklaces is a quick and easy way to ensure your chains with charms or pendants don't tangle up or get scratched or dented and keep their original shape. Decorative hooks can work great, from wall-mounted key holders to small wooden door knobs. You can choose whatever fits the color scheme and décor of your room! You can mount these on your bedroom or bathroom wall, or your closet, if there's enough space.

An important factor to take into consideration here is making sure that if you're using hooks, you avoid metals such as zinc, copper, brass, and aluminum, as these could cause stains or damage to your jewelry.

Another neat idea is to use tree branches, but you have to make sure you sand them down to avoid splinters and treat them with a wood sealer. This will protect your delicate, meaningful pieces such as birthstone necklaces.

2. Use a Jewelry Box



A sure way to keep your necklaces from getting tangled up with one another is to use a jewelry box. MYKA's lovely jewelry box in a stylish baby pink tone comes with different compartments to store various kinds of jewelry. This way, you'll be sure all your necklaces are in their designated spot, which is very convenient in addition to protecting your jewelry from tangling.

3. Use a Small Dish or Tray



If you're going to use a small dish or tray for your necklaces, make sure it's compartmentalized so you can keep each piece separately. Your tray can be whatever you like, even a dish you haven't used before and tucked away, waiting for an appropriate function. It can suit the style of your room, or be something completely different and off-beat. You can separate your rings, earrings, and necklaces into different sections. You can even separate according to type—for instance, you can designate different sections for your initial necklaces or modern name necklaces like the Paperclip Script Name Necklace so they don't get tangled together.

4. Designate a Jewelry Drawer



Sometimes, it's easy to get into the habit of tossing our jewelry into our drawers or dressing tables, not giving it a second thought. However, this habit can cause damage to our necklaces, tangling them up with other necklaces or anything else that's on the table or in the drawer. That's where a designated jewelry drawer comes in! A creative project can be to use an old cutlery drawer, which you can paint and decorate in different ways, and even hang it afterward. You can also incorporate old door knobs in it to hold your necklaces.

If hanging the drawer isn't your style, or you have limited wall space, you can stack a few cutlery drawers and place them in an empty drawer in your dresser. A stackable drawer can keep your rings, necklaces, earrings, and any other piece of jewelry separated and in a designated space. This approach will definitely prevent anything from harming your precious pieces like your classy pearl necklaces.

Apart from physically separating your necklaces for easier storage, what also helps ensure your necklaces won't get tangled up is regularly treating them with a jewelry care kit. In addition to protecting your necklaces from tangling, treating your jewelry with MYKA'S Jewelry Care Kit will make sure your jewelry stays shiny and in top condition.

6. Make a Rake Necklace Holder



A rake as a necklace holder? Yes! It might sound like a weird idea, but it's a fabulous DIY option that works great for keeping your necklaces tangle-free! All you need to do is find an old rake no one will miss, cut off the rake handle, and sand it down so it's smooth and won't give you any pesky splinters. Grab some anti-rust paint and give it a few coats to ensure your jewelry won't get damaged, and choose a pretty paint color. Finally, simply hang it on your wall to hold your necklaces.

Using a rake as a holder is a perfect approach for supporting your bolder, heavier necklaces like the Totem 3D Bar Necklace, keeping them in excellent condition for future use.

7. Use a Hanger Jewelry Display



A jewelry hanger display is an ideal way for storing your more delicate, elegant pieces like gold necklaces that can tangle up quite easily, especially when stored together. This type of hanger display can hold up quite a few of your favorite pieces, including earrings and bracelets. It can be displayed anywhere you like—wall-mounted or placed on your dressing table, making it easily accessible and safe from harm. This way, your necklaces will be within reach whenever you want them to refresh your outfit or make it feel more elegant.
