How to store your jewelry properly
Not all jewelry is the same. But many people don't know that. Or were you aware that you can't store gold jewelry like silver jewelry?
We often can't have enough jewelry. This makes it all the more important to store jewelry correctly in order to maintain the shine and beauty of the accessory for as long as possible.
There are differences between storing silver and gold jewelry, but there are basic rules that apply to both silver and gold jewelry storage:
- Rule number one: sort your jewelry
- Jewelry should be sorted. Pieces of jewelry that are damaged do not need to find a place in your jewelry storage box, nor do accessories that you hardly or never wear. The pieces you want to keep should be sorted according to the type of jewelry; this means necklace to necklace and earrings to earrings. Create subcategories within these categories: Silver jewelry and gold jewelry. Once you have made an initial sorting, you can follow further rules.
- Rule number two: Store your jewelry in an airtight container
- It is important that your jewelry is not permanently exposed to the air. If your jewelry is always in the fresh air, it will oxidize and discolour. Jewelry storage from BINS AND BOXES ensures less air circulation so that your jewelry is protected and retains its shine for longer.
- Rule number three: Protect your jewelry from moisture
- Moisture is also a natural enemy of your jewelry. Therefore, do not store your jewelry in the bathroom or in rooms where the humidity is particularly high, even if it is in BINS AND BOXES jewelry storage.
- Rule number four: Avoid absorbent cotton
- There is a superstition that jewelry should be wrapped in absorbent cotton. However, this is a misconception. If you store your jewelry in a storage box from BINS AND BOXES, you should definitely do without additional absorbent cotton. The reason for this is that absorbent cotton can lead to unsightly discoloration of your jewelry. Therefore, do without absorbent cotton and, if you want to give your jewelry extra protection when storing it, use velvet instead.
- Rule number five: Don't stack your jewelry
- Another mistake that is often made when storing jewelry is stacking it. Stacking your jewelry can quickly lead to unsightly scratches. If you have a lot of jewelry, our large jewelry boxes.
Differences in jewelry storage for silver and gold jewelry
Silver and gold jewelry differ to some extent in the way they should be stored. Even if the differences appear marginal at first glance, the differences can make a big difference. If you store your jewelry correctly, you will enjoy your necklaces, earrings and bracelets for longer.
Silver jewelry is one of the most popular types of jewelry. Unfortunately, it is also one of the more susceptible types and often discolors after a short time. The discoloration is caused by the reaction with oxygen, which leads to oxidation of the silver. This oxidation makes your jewelry appear greenish.
When storing silver jewelry, this means that it should be stored as airtight as possible. The best way to do this is to store your jewelry in our jewelry storage boxes in small plastic bags. Another tip is to add chalk or aluminum foil to the bag. Both chalk and aluminum foil prevent the jewelry from discoloring.
Gold jewelry is also in vogue at the moment, especially among young adults. Gold chains are the IT piece for men, gold rings and inviting hoop earrings are booming among young women. Elegance and style are attributed to gold jewelry in particular.
Like silver, gold jewelry is prone to discoloration. Over time, gold pieces also tarnish and form a dark patina. To avoid this, it is essential to store your jewelry correctly. Store your gold jewelry away from silver jewelry and other precious metals. Titanium or copper can also be harmful to gold jewelry.
Jewelry with gemstones is special jewelry, and not just because it is expensive. Unfortunately, the filigree stones are particularly susceptible to scratches. To avoid scratches, special boxes are suitable for storing jewelry. You should also protect your gemstone jewelry from light.
