Jewelry Storage

Jewelry  Packages

When you receive a jewelry order from LinorStore, you'll find it wrapped in:

  • A plastic jewelry bag
  • Bubble wrap
  • Tissue paper



When at all possible, store your sterling silver jewelry in an airtight container. That can be a ziploc bag, a jewelry box, a tupperware or anything that has a tight seal. 

Keep jewelry dry. Moisture is the main factor that speeds up the tarnishing process.

Do not store your jewelry in your bathroom. Humidity in the air will facilitate the reaction that causes the tarnish.

Found some jewelry boxes and an earrings display I'd like on Amazon. You know, it's like the story of the shoemaker, my storage for earrings is lacking. 


(I'm an associate and get pennies if you purchase an item.)

  

Jewelry Storage

Silver jewelry does best when it’s stored in a jewelry box lined with felt. The felt helps absorb excess moisture and prevent premature tarnishing. For some large pieces, it might be best to keep them stored separately inside a felt pouch or wrapped in a silver polishing cloth to limit exposure to the air. In this case, you’ll have to remember what you have and make a conscious choice to wear it. Even with proper storage, silver jewelry will require regular polishing at least twice a year to remove tarnish. Don’t overpolish silver jewelry because this can also cause damage.

Fine jewelry should be kept in a secure location so that it’s less susceptible to burglary. It’s also essential to store fine jewelry away from direct sunlight because some stones can become damaged by prolonged exposure to UV light. Not all fine jewelry needs to be put away. Have a place on your dresser or nightstand where you can keep jewelry you wear every day like your engagement ring or diamond studs. Get in the habit to always put your jewelry away in the same spot so that it’s less likely to get lost.

Fine jewelry storage tips:

  • Store fine jewelry in a way that the pieces do not touch each other. Diamonds are capable of scratching other stones and metals.
  • Keep pearls inside a wooden box that has a felt lining. Never store pearls inside a plastic bag or box because plastic can interact with the pearls and cause them to deteriorate.
  • Keep fine jewelry inside a safe or another inconspicuous place.
