A Gem of an Idea
Running out of motivation on those New Year’s resolutions? (Us too.) So when we came across this charming solution via A Pair & A Spare on how to conquer that mess of tangled earrings, chains and bracelets that winds up on our nightstands every week, we were thrilled. The best part? It’s DIY!
Think bowls, cake stands, simple corkboard and more. We love the idea of your favorite jewelry serving double duty, not only styling up your favorite outfit, but also your dressing area. Curate your collection for daily enjoyment daily and easy access.
