Organizational Skills (or Lack Thereof)




Like many other fashionistas, I have a home for my jewelry. After a while, and a growing collection, things just get piled on top of each other causing what I like to call an "organized mess!" I try to keep things organized, I have a jewelry armoire with a drawer of bracelets, rings, earrings, two compartments with pegs for necklaces and a drawer filled with even more necklaces. It's my way of trying to keep things sane! 
Recently I was introduced to this product that is supposed to maintain an accessory addict's headache to a minimum, it's called the Necklace Saver. The product is a pretty colored bag of organza fabric with a slot to insert the necklace in and keep it untangled. You also have the choice to pick from 3 colors (aqua, orchid, or light pink) and 2 lengths and 3 widths. 

Necklace: Anthropologie

I made sure to utilize an abstract shaped necklace to test it out! 



To my surprise the necklace fit in the organza pouch really easily. As a side note, the transparent purple compliments the green of the necklace really well too, seems like the perfect holiday color combination! Just imagine a drawer filled with these pouches and necklaces neatly tied in, an "organized mess" no more!

Necklace: Anthropologie

Tried it again with a different necklace, no success. The widest width the Necklace Saver offers is 3 inches, which doesn't work with a lot of my big "bib" necklaces. 
All in all, I'd give this product a 4 out of 5, I didn't give it a full five because it doesn't offer wider widths to fit the growing trend of non traditional necklace shapes. It's still a great product to maintain your necklaces, keep your jewelry area organized, and save yourself some time by not having to untangle knots, which I need! Plus every purchase of the Necklace Saver donates a portion of every sale to help support children in need, around the world. Christmas is just around the corner,  this would make great stocking stuffers! 
Dear readers, what do you think of this product? Would you buy it?

  1. After seeing this I realized I really need to step up my jewelry collection. You have so many great pieces! Right now all my jewelry just sits in this one white paper bag, haha. It really needs a home.

  2. Ah the Necklace Saver seems like a great invention, and I love their community-service component as well:) I cannot *tell* you how much time I spend arranging, sorting, and untangling necklaces here at Aoki haha. Usually I don't store them for too long though before they hit the floor so I prob wouldn't need something like this here, but I could see it being really useful for a home collection!

  3. Love your collection. I am soo bad with organizing my jewelry especially my necklaces, and I am an absolute organizational freak. Need to find a solution because I am too lazy to untangle my necklaces in the morning.

  4. I'm a huge jewelry fiend and have been keeping my necklaces organized on my wall with thumbnails. I really want to invest in a frame or tack board of some sort to keep my walls safe, so I'll probably head to Etsy. I like the idea of these Necklace Savers, but probably wouldn't buy them since most of my necklaces aren't that expensive (hello F21 and eBay!).

  5. Dear Jacqui,
    Thank you for your positive assessment of the Necklace Saver and especially the suggestion that it should be available in wider widths to accomodate bib necklaces. I will get started on this and hope to make these available to women who have many elegant yet tangled necklaces in the near future. Keep the good suggestions coming http://www.necklacesaver.com.
