Most of us couldn't recount the number of hours we’ve spent untangling jewellery. It always occurs in those flustered final moments before leaving the house; you reach for that perfect accessory to complete your outfit only to find it lost in a nightmare tangle of metal.

Your delicate charm bracelet is locked in an embrace with your chunky hoops, and your pearl choker is flirting with your favourite gold chain. Only this kind of flirtation doesn't make one blush, but rather turn rouge in frustration.

If this strikes a relatable chord, it’s time to invest in some jewellery storage.

Though the term may feel like a millennial's answer to a first-world problem, offering little more than what a small pouch or conveniently-sized box already serves, think again. Storing your jewellery with care gives it a longer shelf life, not to mention protects precious pieces from tarnishing and getting lost or damaged.

From jewellery stackers and stands, to hidden compartments that fit inside drawers, your options for keeping your favourite gems safe and organised are endless.

Whether you're after a simple solution on a budget or looking to invest in a top-of-the-line jewellery box, we've rounded up our favourites for separating your beads from your bangles.

Three Arm Gold & Marble Base Jewellery Stand

This minimalist marble and gold iron stand not only separates your jewellery but serves as a sculptural feature on any countertop. A sturdy marble base bears the weight of any hanging pieces, with three arms to distinguish your longer necklaces from smaller bracelets and earrings.
