Repurposed Vintage Plates
Why not scour your local thrift store for some vintage plates? These charming finds can be the perfect base for a unique jewelry tray. I once found a gorgeous floral plate that now holds my rings and looks like a mini art display on my dresser.

I made one last summer, and it’s become a conversation starter! It pairs perfectly with other clever necklace storage ideas to keep your collection organized.
Geometric Wooden Trays
Cut some wooden pieces into geometric shapes and stain them in your favorite color. These wooden trays are perfect for adding a touch of nature to your decor. I love how mine complements my wooden furniture. You can even incorporate them into your Easter tiered tray decor for a festive touch.
Glass and Gold Elegance
Combine a glass base with golden edges for an elegant touch. This glass and gold jewelry tray is perfect for showing off your most precious pieces. I use mine to display my grandmother’s vintage brooches.
Marble Magic
A slice of marble can make a luxurious and sturdy jewelry tray. It feels high-end and is perfect for placing your go-to pieces. My marble tray sits elegantly on my nightstand, always ready for my daily wear. It also doubles as a chic loose change holder when I empty my pockets.
Seashell Surprise
For a beachy vibe, use large seashells as jewelry trays. These natural beauties are perfect for small items like rings and earrings. I collected a few during my last beach trip, and they bring back sunny memories every time I see them. If you have extras, displaying them in decorative seashell jars is another great way to show off your collection.
Cork Board Creativity
Transform a cork board into a hanging jewelry display with pins and hooks. It’s a fantastic way to keep your necklaces untangled and easy to grab. My cork board hangs proudly in my closet, organizing all my statement pieces. If you prefer a more modular setup, a pegboard jewelry display is another excellent organization option.
Mirror Tray Glam
Use a mirrored tray for a touch of glamour and to reflect the sparkle of your jewels. This mirror tray doubles as a decor piece and enhances the shine of your accessories. Mine catches the light beautifully on my vanity! If you love this reflective look in the living room, explore these mirror coffee table decor ideas.

Acrylic Allure
Clear acrylic trays offer a chic, minimalist look and let your jewelry be the star. They’re great for showing off colorful pieces. I use an acrylic tray for my colorful bracelets, and they look like a candy display!
Ceramic Bowl Beauties
Use small ceramic bowls for holding rings and earrings. With their handcrafted charm, they add an artisanal touch to your decor. I’ve collected a few over the years, and they look lovely scattered across my vanity. They pair beautifully with other vibrant, handcrafted pieces like colorful alebrijes.
Book Box Secret
For a hidden storage option, hollow out an old book to create a secret jewelry box. This book box is perfect for keeping your treasures out of sight. I love the mystery it adds to my bookshelf! Once it’s hollowed out, you can customize the interior with some easy jewelry box painting ideas.
Velvet Lining Luxe
Line a simple tray with velvet fabric for an opulent touch. This soft lining protects your jewelry and feels luxurious to the touch. My velvet-lined tray is where I keep my most delicate pieces.
Shell Dish Display
Use a polished shell dish for a natural and elegant look. It’s a subtle way to add some seaside charm to your decor. I adore the one I have on my vanity; it reminds me of vacations by the sea. This simple project is a perfect addition to any collection of handmade DIY ocean decor ideas.
