Tips For Storing Jewelry

A Strong and Sturdy Jewelry Box

Jewelry is closest to every woman and it also represents their culture. Jewelry works as a beauty enhancing catalyst, but just buying jewelry is not enough - you would agree that storing them is equally important. Proper storage prolongs the life of your ornaments. With proper storage you can also maintain its brightness and shine. If your jewelry is not stored properly, it will lose the shine. Also, its worth becomes much less than its original value. Here are few tips that can help you to store jewelry in the right way.

1. Your jewelry box must be sturdy with a soft interior. The tough exterior of your jewelry box will defend the damage that can be caused due to external pressure; whereas the soft interior will help in maintaining the luster. In case if you do not have a box then you can always place your jewelry in a soft fabric pouch.
2. Soft plastic zip-lock bags are also good for storing jewelry. These pouches are perfect while you travel as they are less space occupying. Nowadays you can find different size pouches for storing different types of jewelry.
3. Storing jewelry in drawer is just a perfect choice. Drawers, available specially for storing jewelry have defined spaces for keeping different type of jewelry like earrings, necklace, finger rings etc.
4. You must ensure that your jewelry is stored individually. When jewelry is kept together, there is a high chance that they would get entangled and cause damage to each other. Possibility of scratch is also high when you store your jewelry together.
5. Always wipe the jewelry with soft cloth, after you use these. This will keep the jewelry safe from sweat and dirt.
6. All the jewelry requires care but silver jewelry needs special attention. You must store them in a tarnish-resistant cloth and case so that the shine of silver is protected.
7. Pearl being the softest, needs to be stored carefully. Keep pearl jewelry in pouches that are very soft from inside.
8. Your jewelry must be stored in dry place because humidity can damage them.

I hope all these tips help you to store your jewelry and enjoy its brilliance forever.
