Use A Necklace Tree To Help Prevent Chains From Tangling

Necklaces placed in a jewelry box can quickly become tangled, costing you valuable time to remove the tiny knots that often develop. Pendants can also become scratched from the contact, which can also dislodge small stones. One of the best ways to protect your jewelry is by using a necklace tree.

Jewelry trees can be found that are made from almost every type of material imaginable. Among the least expensive are the acrylic ones. They are generally clear and let the jewelry receive the focus of attention. Some spin to make locating a specific piece easier, but others are fixed in position. You can also find trees made of wood and stained in dark or light finishes. Metal ones are also popular, and range from the more expensive sterling silver ones to pewter, stainless steel, and copper.

There are trees designed to hold only necklaces, but there are also combination trees. Some include holes for mounting pierced earrings, while others allow you to hang bracelets on the lower branches. Still others have a bowl at the base to hold clip earrings or rings. The arms revolve on some styles, are fixed on others, and still others have a base that rotates the entire tree.

Designs range from simple geometric stands to intricate tree of life patterns. Other designs portray trees realistically, with leaves in place and a simulated bark finish. Futuristic or high tech designs can also be found that are twisted in intricate patterns and finished in gleaming metal.

Some trees offer branches that are covered in felt or velvet to protect the chains. These are ideal for necklaces that can be easily damaged such as pearls, fine chains, and heirlooms. If you have only one or two such items, you can apply adhesive felt pads to any tree to protect them. You can find these pads at any craft store or online craft supply dealer. You can also make your own from a piece of felt that you cut to fit and glue into place.

When selecting a tree, you need to evaluate your jewelry storage needs first. If you do not wear pierced earrings, then obviously the arms for hoops will be a waste. However, one aspect that is often overlooked is to make sure that the tree is tall enough to accommodate the length of necklaces you wear. If you buy a tree that is twelve inches high, necklaces over twenty four inches will have to be doubled on the arm. Otherwise, they will come into contact with the surface on which the tree stands, which can cause damage to the pendants.

Some styles have separate hooks or pegs for each individual necklace. Those that only have long arms may hold more, but normally will require you to remove multiple necklaces to reach the one you want. While the chains will be less likely to tangle than in a drawer or box, knotting can still occur.

A necklace tree can make an interesting decorating addition even when it is empty. The glitter of your jewelry will turn it into a unique display of even greater beauty. You can leave it on your dresser or provide it with its own shelf. Either way it can add a touch or art while saving wear and tear on your items at the same time.
