If youhave a drawer...

1 TAKE INVENTORY First, sort your collection— categorizing like with like— to determine how much storage you’ll need.

2 GATHER CONTAINERS Search for items throughout your home thatcan be repurposed as in-drawer dividers, such as egg crates, teacups, or box tops. Use them to supplement store-bought drawer dividers.

3 DIVIDE BY STYLE Place similar jewels together within each container: Set chunky bracelets in a bowl, hang chandelier earrings overthe edge of a cup, and put studs and rings in thesmallest compartments. Limit groupings to nomore than a few pieces to avoid overcrowding, so you can see all your options at a glance.

4 LAYER UP For drawers deeper than the one at left, use multilevel inserts: Stash in-season items on top and lesser-worn pieces toward the bottom. TO BUY: Clear Acrylic small stackable trays, from $6; containerstore.com.

If youhavea vanity...

1 GRAB AND GO Designate a small dish or a ring cone to hold the accessories you reach for every day. Leaving them out means you won’t have to search for them—and you’ll always remember to wear them.

2 DESIGN A DISPLAY To make things look pretty, arrange your collection like one you’d see at a store, putting favorite pieces on sculptural objects or figurines. (Don’t overdo it, though. Too much could lead to clutter.)

3 HANG LOOSE To prevent daintier, fine-chain necklaces from getting tangled or misplaced, drape each one over a separate peg on a clear carousel. TO BUY: Acrylic Necklace Keeper, $22; containerstore.com.

4 PUT A LID ON IT A jewelry box keeps your baubles dust-free. Choose one that complements your decor and has room to accommodate new additions. TO BUY: Faux Shagreen box, from $79; westelm.com.
