Storing jewelry properly extends its lifespan and reduces the risk of damage and loss (just like when you store photographs<\/a>). When you’re thinking about how to store jewelry effectively, consider these three things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What type of jewelry are you storing?<\/li>\n
  2. How long are you storing the jewelry?<\/li>\n
  3. What environment are you storing it in?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Jewelry Storage Solutions for Different Types of Jewelry<\/h2>\n

    In this article, we’ll discuss three main types of jewelry storage: how to store antique jewelry, how to store fine jewelry, and how to store fashion jewelry.<\/p>\n

    How Should I Store My Antique Jewelry?<\/h3>\n

    Antique jewelry, as opposed to vintage or estate jewelry, includes any item that is over one hundred years old.  Due to its age, history, and relative scarcity, antique pieces are valuable in more ways than one. Also, because they’re precious, they must be stored with extra care.<\/p>\n

    Use individual boxes<\/h4>\n

    Because these items tend to have claw settings, delicate links, and other features that easily tangle or break,  each piece should be stored in an individual box. Since sunlight and the elements can quickly tarnish metals, keep those lids on tightly. Do you have a lot of jewelry to organize? Buy boxes wholesale! That ensures you have enough boxes on hand for each piece.<\/p>\n

    Choose racks, not stacks<\/h4>\n

    Vintage jewelry pieces, once nestled in their own individual boxes, should be stored on racks,  not stacked one atop the other. When you stack jewelry in drawers, on shelves, or in plastic containers, you need to do a lot of searching just to retrieve one piece.<\/p>\n

    What’s more, stacks can lead to damage. They can topple over and spill the pieces, or a heavy stack can slowly crush the boxes toward the bottom. Instead of stacking individual boxes, invest in display racks. Each box will be within easy reach, and the risk of damage will be significantly lower.<\/p>\n
