Chains stored in a jewelry drawer or box usually manage to tangle or knot, meaning they must be freed before wearing. Pendants can get scratched by other pieces and settings, especially small ones, can be lost. A necklace tree can save you time while protecting your jewelry from damage.
You can find jewelry trees make from many different materials. Some of the most economical ones are clear and made from acrylic. These let the beauty of the jewelry stand out almost as if floating in the air. Spinner types make it easier to find the piece you are seeking, but fixed position stands are also available. Wooden trees in dark or light stains are also to be found. Trees are also available in metal, including pewter, copper, and sterling silver.
Some trees are made specifically for necklaces, but you can also find trees that will hold a variety of jewelry. Others have spaces for pierced style earrings and others have lower arms for bracelets. There are also styles that include a bowl in the base of the tree from rings or clip on earrings. Arms may spin on certain styles and remain fixed in place on others, while some trees rotate freely on their bases.
You can find many styles of necklace trees on the market. Simple styles are plain with arms that protrude from a center post. Others may be ornate representations of the tree of life. Some are designed to imitate realistic trees and boast bark and leaves that are molded or carved into the design. There are also futuristic or high tech designs that may be twisted into unusual designs and are usually polished metal.
Some designers use felt or even velvet to cover the trees for extra protection. This is most suitable for pieces that can be scratched or tangled easily. They provide an extra safeguard for pearls, heirloom items, or chains that are fine and delicate. If you just need to protect a few such items, you can buy felt pads that are back with adhesive to apply to your tree. You can find these online at craft supply dealers or locally at stores. You can also make your own from a piece of velvet or felt and then glue them where needed.
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 be an attractive decorating touch by itself. When enhanced by your jewelry, they can become a unique work of art. Whether perched on a dresser or on a shelf, you can add charm while protecting your jewelry at the same time.
Have you heard of a jewelry tree? Well, these unique designed stands can help you keep your necklaces safe and knot free. You are one step away from looking at some of the best designs of these necklace tree stands.
