jewelry: storage, display + your chance to win!

jewelry1 jewelry: storage, display + your chance to win!
Jewelry storage can be a challenge. If you don’t have jewelry boxes at the ready, your pretty baubles can end up in an unsightly heap on your dresser. Stray earrings can lose their partners and necklaces can end up in a tangled mess. I love this idea from Pottery Barn (pictured above). These hardwood jewelry display frames turn your precious pieces into works of art, displayed for your enjoyment rather than hidden away in boxes. It’s a great way to keep things organized and tangle-free. We’ve got lots of other jewelry storage ideas. Check them out!

What do Steven Sabados, Peter Fallico and Samantha Pynn all have in common?

Well, apart from being style-savvy celebs with top TV shows, they all got their start in the hallowed halls of Style At Home magazine.

The latest of the S@H alumnus to make a name for herself is our former Design Department intern Alison Dawson, who you may recognize if you’ve ever dropped in at Mokuba, Toronto’s famed go-to gallery for luxe ribbon. (If you’ve never been, make it a point to stop by. We’re talking 27,000 high-end ribbons, trims and lace, here.)

Through her own business, Chapeau de Gateau, Alison takes gorgeous, Japanese ribbon from Mokuba, and elevates it to spectacular heights as one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry, in a collection called “C’est Joli”. I’m nuts for these necklaces… The fluid shapes are simply stunning. It really looks like a flowing ribbon, frozen in time.

And check out these laced-up bracelets… So pretty! They’ve totally got an Anthropologie vibe going on.

Alison also transforms ordinary ribbon into extraordinary custom cake-toppers (incredible inedibles, anyone?) for special events, hence “Chapeau de Gateau”. So delicate and unique, and a great way to make a style statement at a summer wedding…
