How do you store your jewellery?

A girl I knew had one of these stripped and stood in the corner of her room with all sort of necklaces and little bags and sparkly hangy stuff draped all over it. Plus a set of lights running through it.

It looked awesome.

That would look great. *goes off to find a tree*

My step-mum had one of those china elephants that you could hang your jewelery on, and it had lots of holes in its big elephant ears to put you earrings in. When I was a kid I thought it was the height of sophistication, though now I'm not so sure...:D

One of these type things? I've got one going spare if you want it.. Mine is darker red though, with a gold lurex stripe in the dress. It comes with a cute little beaded purse too, presumably for rings and the like.

Eeeeeeeeeeee!!! I just yelped!
How embarassing- which is weird because there is no one else here!
Yes thank you, if it is still available I would like it very much :) This is me being restrained! I'll hang my lovely posh bits on it. :)
 
I did consider a twig- spray it, hang some pretty ribbon from it. But what do you do with your stub earrings?

Monsoon had a window display recently with a metal rod and stand, and the rod had a gentle 'wave' in it, tere were also 'notches and stops to keep necklaces safe and seperate. Gorgeous, but again what to do with earrings?

You could get one of those green florist block things they stick flower arrangements in, shove the stick in that and then put all of the studs in the block surrounding the stick? You could even cover the block with some pretty fabric first or spray it with sparkley stuff? Would that work? :confused: :)

Ooh that sounds lovely, a really lovely project. It could be beautiful. I might try this at the weekend. Would stud earrings be ok in the foam? I mean would I be ok to put them in my ears after being in the dry foam?
 
My wife stores her jewellery and other valuables in a section one firearms double safe we have hidden in the house. (Three 5 lever deadlocks and bolted to a wall.)
 
I have a ton of vintage costume jewelry. It is all over the place, one large jewelry box, several smaller boxes, some in biscuit tins, some draped over bed posts and the sticking out twirly bits on my dressing table. In my home you're never more than 3 feet away from something sparkly. :)

some of it looks very valuable but none of it is really. if I ever get burgled will have my revenge when the burglar takes all my "ice" to cash converters LOL

Handy.

But tell me honestly, say if you have a messy row just before you are going for a night out and you see her run back to the safe, do you breathe a small sigh of relief each time she comes out with pearls rather than a rifle?

I reckon it'd be ok...:confused: :D

Before I put earrings in I always rub a bit of savalon or antiseptic cream over them anyway to make sure I don't put germs in the holes.

When I was jewellery shopping in India, a lot of the earrings were displayed in some kind of dry foam. :)

I guess you might have to give them a quick rub or clean if they looked contaminated.

We don't have any firearms. (and have not had for some years now.)

In the absence of any smileys how can I deduce it was not yet another attack.

I find it really sad that you view pretty much everything said to you on here as an attack.

I also find it bewildering why you continue to post here if you think almost everything said to you is an attack.

Promise, promise, I was only teasing. :D
I'd have said it to anyone who said they kept their jewellery in a gun safe. :)
Come on- we have no history of handbagging!

Why, we keep all important documents in the safe as well as due to there being a small safe inside the large one it is very fire resistant.

It's called oasis.. I think. Class stuff. :)

I reckon for hanging earrings you could punch little holes around the edges of an old cd and hang them there.. thn you could hang the cd off the tree.

Or somesuch.

:)

Did you ever post on the 'Through the Keyhole' thread in Suburban LLB?
I always think your house must be full of trinkets, sparkle, fabulous gowns and glitter. But also probably panda skulls and tigers teeth.:)

I just sang that out loud!

Hey missus, has your mate got her jewellery design site up yet?
Click to expand...

Nuts, I had totally forgotten about that. No she hasn't, but I am hoping to see her soon (haven't seen her for months :o crap friend I am).
 
Who is that in the photo? She is really lovely- how old is she? Love the top.

Im sorely disappointed in the lack of panda skulls on your walls. Im guesssing no powdered monkey penis in the medicine cabinet either?

Seriously- weren't you looking for dead things to photograph?

she's a friend who's a model :)
she's 20 and she is lovely

the top cost £1.99 in a charidee shop and I'm planning to use my photos to market some of my vintage clothing, of which I have far too much. I will probably be doing something for chariddeee too

I do have a big bag of illegal wildlife items but they are going to form part of an exhibition on wildlife crime

I do have some dead things to photograph but everything has to be just so, the light, etc. you know how it is. Also I have a lot of friends who want me to take their photos. Plus loads of other work that I love.

I'll probably combine some of the photos of my friends with some photos of dead things for an effective multi-tasking experience but i won't include endangered things in those photos. I even have a written policy about it, so no panda skulls for me ;)
