What’s the Best Way to Store Jewelry?

Storing jewelry correctly is essential to prevent tarnish, scratches, and damage. Whether you have a cherished sterling silver collection or a mix of precious metals, here's how to keep your pieces in pristine condition:

1. Keep It Dry: Moisture is a leading cause of tarnish. Store your jewelry in a dry place, away from humidity. Including silica gel packets in your storage can help absorb moisture.

2. Separate Pieces: Store jewelry separately to prevent scratching. Use individual soft pouches or a jewelry box with compartments for each piece.

3. Avoid Exposure: Keep your jewelry away from direct sunlight, heat, and exposure to chemicals. This includes lotions, perfumes, and cleaning products which can harm the metals and gemstones.

4. Use Anti-Tarnish Strips: Place anti-tarnish strips in your jewelry storage to help prevent silver pieces from tarnishing. These strips absorb the pollutants that cause tarnish.

5. Regular Cleaning: Before storing your jewelry, give it a gentle clean to remove oils and dirt. This will help maintain its shine and prevent buildup.
