Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and other types of jewelry can be easily tangled. If you aren’t careful, it can also deteriorate depending on what type of organizer or material you store it in. Read on to find out how More Space Place can help you safely store jewelry to protect your belongings. 

What Kind Of Damage Can Occur?

To decide the best method for storing your jewelry, we have to first discuss why jewelry tarnishes when stored improperly. The best way to store jewelry depends on a few factors, like the materials used, the type of jewelry, and how much the jewelry is worth. Jewelry tarnish is caused when the surface of the metal comes into contact with body oils, makeup, sulfur, sweat, perfumes, deodorants, lotions, and other external substances. It’s important to make sure to clean jewelry before you put it away, regardless of how you store it. 

Make An Inventory:

Before you decide what style of organizer to use, you should make an inventory of the type of jewelry you have. For example, you’ll want to separate your expensive, cheap, and vintage jewelry by occasion. 

Decide What Material You Want:

To avoid tarnishing, we recommend storing jewelry in a cold, low-humidity environment. This means don’t store your jewelry on bathroom countertops or close to windows. Exposure to heat and light can make tarnishing occur faster and more frequently. A jewelry box is specifically constructed to serve this purpose. They are usually felt-lined and designed to be closed so that they remain cold and dark. 

How Can More Space Place Help? 

While jewelry boxes are great options to store your jewelry, they are generally deep and can easily tangle your jewelry. With our custom velvet-lined jewelry drawers, you will keep precious items safer. No more untangling knotted necklaces or only finding half a pair of earrings.
