Storing Your Jewelry
Wednesday, February 3, 2010

Part of proper care for your jewelry is to store them correctly. Nice jewelry is typically unique and one-of-a-kind, so you don’t want to damage the pieces if they are irreplaceable. There are some fairly easy ways around this, though. Here are some quick tips on jewelry storage.
~Isolate each jewel from one another; an easy and effective solution is to wrap each piece in layers of acid-free tissue paper, untreated cotton, or raw silk. If you sew, you might try creating individual, acid-free bags for this purpose, which you can also purchase.
~Getting jewelry boxes or wooden ring boxes is imperative. Separating your pieces will ensure that necklaces won’t get tangled up and you can avoid each item scratching one another.
