The start: before storing jewelry, create order
Have you ever stood in front of the mirror in the morning and just wanted to complete your outfit with a matching necklace, but the jumble of necklaces that have piled up into a single tangle is driving you to despair? Or are you looking for that one beautiful brooch, but all you find instead are tons of loose earrings? Before you can worry about storage, it's important to get an overview of your jewelry collection, sort it and organize it.
Our tip: make yourself a nice cup of coffee or aromatic tea at the weekend and take some time to tidy up your jewelry. You can either sell, give away or dispose of anything you no longer wear. Pieces that are particularly important to you but are damaged can possibly be repaired by a goldsmith.
Ideally, you should sort the jewelry you want to keep into categories and group necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings together. For earrings, it is important to only sort them in pairs. Once you're done, you can start storing them.
How can I store jewelry in general?
As a general rule, the best place to store jewelry is somewhere as dark and cool as possible. Many metals in genuine jewelry are very sensitive to light, oxygen and moisture. But costume jewelry also suffers from these environmental influences. It's a good thing that storing jewelry properly is no longer rocket science and different storage solutions have been established for this purpose. Simply choose a storage solution that meets your requirements in terms of functionality, convenience and design.
This is how you can store jewelry:
Jewelry boxes
A jewelry box is the classic way to store jewelry and also the most sensible solution. There are several reasons for this. Such a jewelry box is specially made to store jewelry. It comes with velvet or fabric padding on the inside, has different inserts, compartments and drawers to keep different types of jewelry separate and has a lid that closes well.
Jewelry drawers
An alternative to the jewelry box is a jewelry drawer as a large compartment in your chest of drawers. Here, too, you can store rings, bracelets or earrings in different compartments and also organize watches separately from each other to save space. Take a look at our drawer organizers and find many ways to organize a wide variety of drawers. These drawers are also very suitable as Closet organizer.
Chain rack
Chain storage in the form of a chain stand is a good choice if you no longer want to be annoyed by knotted chains. At the same time, a so-called chain tree, on which you simply hang your necklaces on the hooks provided, turns jewelry storage into a real eye-catcher. Of course, you can also use it to organize your bracelets.
Jewelry rolls
Individual pieces of jewelry that you want to protect particularly well can be stored in a jewelry roll. Necklaces and bracelets in particular can be ideally stored in the soft fabric without having to worry about knots forming.

How can I store jewelry made of gold or silver?
Real jewelry has special requirements. You can find out what you need to bear in mind below.
Gold jewelry
Ideally, gold jewelry should be stored airtight and protected from light. Set gemstones in particular should be protected from UV light to avoid possible discoloration.
Silver jewelry
Storing silver jewelry correctly is much more essential. The material tends to oxidize due to the sulphur in the air. It tarnishes, turns dark and loses its natural shine. Cleaning is much more time-consuming than if you take care of the correct storage of the jewelry in advance, which means storing it in a place that is as dark, airtight and dry as possible.
Both gold and silver do not like high humidity. Jewelry should therefore preferably be stored in the bedroom or another dry room at room temperature.
