Even though some pieces of vintage jewelry are extremely appealing, the downside of being a collector is not being able to wear them all at once. Although you might be able to turn heads at a party when you’re wearing them, did you know you can also display all your beautiful jewels by integrating them in your home décor? Regardless of whether you plan to exhibit your full sets, place them conveniently so they are ready to wear or convert them into permanent accessories, here are the best ways to put your vintage jewels in the spotlight.

• Velvet necklace stands

In case you’re passionate about collecting necklaces, then you should consider purchasing jewelry store velvet stands for them. If the jewelry is made of white metal or it incorporates white stones, then opt for black velvet so the facets will stand out against the background. As far as necklace stands are concerned, you can place the most exquisite necklace from your collection on display on a pedestal. Alternatively, you can add several pieces and place to a vanity or dresser.

• Bowl of brooches

If you count several brooches into your collection, then you can use them to create unique accessories to compliment your home décor. Therefore, find a suitable bowl – preferably one that has a similar tone or pattern with your brooches – and decorate it with some stuffing and satin or silk. Place the brooches on top of the piece of satin/silk and you will achieve an exclusive accessory and an elegant way to display your vintage jewels.

• Clip-on earrings curtain holders

If you have incorporated a stationary curtain panel in your home, then you can create holdbacks for them using antique clip-on earrings. Take note that vintage earrings are not long or strong enough to keep the curtains – including those made from light materials – back on their own. Therefore, you will have to set them in place using monofilament bands that you wrap around them; ideally, add some C-hooks so that the bands attach better. Once they are fastened, simply clip on the earrings in place.

On a side note, if your curtains are made of heavier fabric, then it’s recommended to utilize metal or plastic holdbacks. Since it will be hard to attach the earrings onto these materials, it’s best to opt for those that come in with a small front hook. In this case, you can attach the earrings directly on the hooks.

• Mannequins

In the event you opted for a bohemian inspired interior décor, it means you can add a mannequin without it looking out of place in your home. Depending on what you collect, you can dress up the mannequin in your most prized rings, anklets, bracers and necklaces. If you’re into necklaces and tiaras, then you can use the head and bust to display your impressive trinkets.

• Glove molds

An old glove mold constitutes the ideal item to store your winter and evening gloves. In addition, you can place one or more of these molds on your dresser or vanity and start stacking clasp, stretchy or clamper bracelets on it. Don’t forget to slide your beautiful and unique antique rings onto the fingers.
