Life is often a flowing stream of appointments, social events, trips to the grocery shops, and daily activities that have you up and on the go. When life is busy, the last thing you need in your rush to get ready is to open your jewellery box and not be able to find that jewellery piece you were looking for. Keep your Memi personalised jewellery organised, accessible, and on show with these easy and affordable DIY jewellery displays.

Memi Personalised Jewellery: Display 1: Gem-Stone Wooden Plank Necklace Display.

Moments, memories, and life-shaping events have all resulted in the beautiful blend which is you! You are unique and special and therefore deserve jewellery that emulates that. Memi is dedicated to celebrating you and helping you create personalised jewellery which honours your individuality. Personalised jewellery means jewellery which no one else in the world will own, making it as one-of-a-kind as you are.

You can easily find any piece of jewellery online or in a store but finding jewellery that specifically demonstrates an aspect of your identity, style, or where you are in your life journey is a little trickier. Luckily for you, Memi is committed to actualising your design and style dreams. With a dedicated and skilled team, your jewellery can be personalised with a variety of options at Memi. Listed below is how Memi will help you to personalise your jewellery.

Materials: Memi jewellery is made with the best available materials to create pieces of jewellery that will last you a lifetime. The genuine metals used by Memi are available in yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, and sterling silver. You can personalise each piece of jewellery by choosing which metal will best suit you and your jewellery item. If you are uncertain of which metal to choose, click each metal option and view the jewellery piece in the metal colouring. We are loving the Gemstone Heart bracelet in sterling silver, but the choice is yours!


Accents: Memi offers the addition of accents to most of their jewellery pieces. The accents available are dependent on which type of jewellery you have chosen to personalise. We are loving the Swarovski crystal accents which come in a range of dazzling colours to add a fun note to your personalised jewellery. For a luxurious personalisation, Memi offers the addition of a diamond to certain pieces. See how the Pebble Initial necklace goes from wow to show-stopping with the diamond accent.

Engravings: Many of the jewellery items available at Memi can be engraved with an initial, name, word, or important date. This allows you to create a religious, sentimental, or symbolic base for your jewellery making it more meaningful and truly personal.


Length: The Memi necklaces and bracelets are made with an adjustable clasp, meaning that the length of each jewellery piece can be adjusted to fit you perfectly. This ensures that each piece of jewellery is customisable, making it a personalised piece. This is advantageous as it allows you to change the length of each jewellery item per your daily outfit or mood.


Display Your Jewellery:

Have you ever found yourself in a rush and quickly needing to sprues up your outfit with a piece of jewellery, but open your jewellery box to find your necklaces knotted together, bracelets in a tangle, and your earring missing its matching pair? This often results in a shrug of the shoulders and you marching out the door while thinking “my outfit will be fine without my necklace, bracelets, or earrings”. All the while, your beautiful jewellery sits uselessly in a heap of disregard.

You have put in the time, effort, and creativity into curating a collection of Memi personalised jewellery. By displaying your jewellery, you will ensure that your personalised jewellery becomes a part of your everyday life. Displaying your personalised jewellery has many other benefits:

Accessible: When your personalised jewellery is visibly displayed it makes the jewellery more accessible to use. Accessibility is an excellent way to ensure that you can easily incorporate your personalised jewellery into any outfit whilst in a rush.

Organised: Keeping your personalised jewellery on a display is a great way to keep your jewellery organised. Gone are the days of spending your precious time trying to untie minuscule knots in your necklace chains or scratching around to find a butterfly for the back of an earring. Choose a display that ensures that your personalised jewellery stays organised and easy to use. You can take being organised a step further by choosing personalised jewellery to display which suits certain themes or seasons. If you more jewellery than space on your display, rotate your jewellery every month to make sure each piece is used.

Show it off: Your jewellery is an extension of your design taste and personal style. Keeping your personalised jewellery on display is a way to show off your creativity and who you are. Keeping your jewellery on display and out of a box also means that you will avoid forgetting what jewellery you own and buying similar pieces.


Why DIY Jewellery Displays?

Personalising your jewellery offers you a sense of satisfaction, excitement, and an affirmation of your creative skills. Like your jewellery, you want your jewellery display to emulate your individuality and creativity. Taking the time to make your jewellery display, as opposed to a store-bought display, will allow you to appreciate your personalised jewellery and creativity even more.

DIY Jewellery Displays:

Whether you are a necklace lover, a bracelet babe, or all about those statement earrings, there is a display to suit any (or all) of these personalised jewellery items. Take these display guides as an outline and make them as creative and personal as possible. If DIY is new to you then keep these tips in mind.

• Ensure that the display you chose suits your needs and is functional.

• Make sure the display you design is reflective of your personality.

• Do not go in (glue) guns blazing. Read the instructions fully and have all the necessary materials ready before you start.

• Position your jewellery display in a space where it will be accessible and easy to use. Whether this is on a shelf, on your dresser, next to your bathroom sink, or next to the door as you leave the house, the position of your display is important towards making it worth your time and effort.
