Proper storage is key to maintaining your jewellery's beauty. Learn the do's and don'ts of jewellery storage.
How you store your jewellery is just as important as how you clean it. Poor storage can lead to scratches, tarnishing, and damage.
Separate Your Pieces
Never throw all your jewellery in one box. Different metals and gemstones can scratch each other. Use a jewellery box with compartments or individual pouches.
Keep It Dry
Moisture is the enemy of many metals, causing tarnishing and corrosion. Store your jewellery in a dry place and consider adding silica gel packets to absorb moisture.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Some gemstones, like amethyst and citrine, can fade with prolonged sun exposure. Keep your jewellery box away from windows.
Special Considerations
- Pearls: Store in a soft cloth bag to prevent scratching
- Silver: Use anti-tarnish strips or bags
- Costume jewellery: Keep away from humidity
