Stackers Jewelry Boxes

More than a few years ago Pandora offered a gorgeous set of jewelry boxes as a gift with purchase. This was a tiered bonus in that the more you spent, the more layers of the set you could earn. The lovely cases were embossed with the Pandora logo and/or name and had little rods to hold charms, as well as compartments and forms for bracelets and extra beads. A few lucky people were able to buy them in one configuration or another after the promotion period ended. I was not one of them....

Since I only recently renewed my interest in Pandora I never paid any attention to promotions or sales. Now that I AM paying attention, and taking advantage of new offers, I realize that it was a sad thing to miss out on the beautiful jewelry boxes. There are only a few floating around the auction sites but the prices are astronomical, the locations are typically Australia or England, and purchase from an unknown source could be highly risky. I needed a more easily obtainable solution to my storage problem!

I heard about Stackers from a Pandora expert but sadly, the company based in England doesn't ship to Canada. After searching US sites and being unable to find a way to access the product I ended up emailing Stackers directly for guidance. A wonderful customer service rep sent me a link for a UK stockist who does indeed accept international orders. While I don't think the choice for components is as broad as availability with the actual Stackers company proper, I was able to customize a jewelry box simply ideal for my needs.

I chose the size, colour & lining, lid, and then trays to stack underneath. It took me a few days to play around with the configuration but in the end I settled on a white Classic lid with 3 charm trays and one 3-section deeper box. Why those items? I chose the Classic size because there was more selection and it was adequate for my collection, and also easier to display and handle.  While I love the blush pink exterior it was not available at the stockist with a neutral interior. I absolutely did not want a lining with a pattern (e.g. polka dots) because I wanted to keep the look clean and plain to showcase the silver jewelry. White was my choice and it came with a grey lining. I was worried it would be bright white but it is actually perfect and stunningly classy. I picked the charm trays so that I could have the long rods for charm storage and styling. I wanted a section for my bracelet and rationalized I could have a tray for each and keep the relevant charms together. The little square sections could be for holding charms while I plan and/or overflow.

The lid can be accessorized with shorter charm bars and will hold up to 4. I added them in because I wanted to make sure I had room to grow without having to reorder and pay all the costs that go with international delivery. They are perfect for specialty charms or items that can work with any of the bracelets (like clips, spacers, or Muranos). The lid also has room for rings and other items like earrings and necklaces.

The deeper 3 section tray is perfect for holding less often worn jewelry or differently shaped bracelets like leather and bangles which don't have a home in the trays. There is also a longer section in each level to hold an unclipped charm bracelet stretched out. I love that there are many storage options!

As the name suggests, each tray stacks upon the next with the lid at the top sealing up the set. I was giddy with anticipation waiting for the box to arrive and couldn't wait to see how it all would work with my jewelry. I was beyond delighted with the look and quality of the Stackers and what I picked works perfectly for what I have. I had a lot of fun organizing and figuring out exactly how I wanted to set things up.

So I can highly recommend Stackers as a jewelry storage and display option. It is wonderful for Pandora or charms/beads specifically but obviously you could select different components (earring tray, watch form, etc.) based on your own jewelry collection. The quality and construction seems excellent, with beautiful stitching (of course I would notice that!!), nice hardware clasp, padded lining and charm rods that fit securely in the notches. I am very, very pleased!

Each piece of Stackers is well priced (imho) and I found shipping to be really reasonable considering how far it had to come! The overall cost can add up if you purchase additional layers or accessories but I feel it's a worthwhile investment to protect the other worthwhile investment, one's lovely jewelry!
