Most women love to collect jewelry – fine jewelry, costume jewelry, you name it – but it’s equally important to consider the proper storage of your jewelry as it is to enhance your collection. My personal favorites are bangle bracelets; I swear I have them in just about every color, but my absolute favorite set is the turquoise bangles.

I keep my bangles in a unique jewelry box that I found at a garage sale, what a find! It’s a handcrafted maple wood box that opens with a hinged lid. Inside you’d find a plum-tinted velvet lining and on top of the box is the outline of a butterfly that has been carved into the wood. I have other jewelry boxes for the rest of my collection, but I reserve the best box for my favorite pieces.
