Storing jewellery

 

Customers often come into the shop with tangled chains, broken clasps and missing earrings! I think the problem is that most of us simply don't know how to store our treasures and we all too often make the mistake of throwing everything into our dressing table drawer.

I have mountains upon mountains of jewellery ranging from precious rings to costume brooches and I thought I would share with you just a few little ideas that I use to keep everything in order.

Ice cube trays are fantastic for keeping earrings in because they all have their own little space and you can see everything so easily which saves massive amounts of time when getting ready to go out!

Find large, clear, round, stacking bead containers that screw together. These are fantastic for rings, beaded bracelets, etc., as you can see exactly what you want - and if you don't wear something for a while it doesn't get dusty. Nothing gets tangled either!

Store each piece of gemstone jewellery separately so that harder stones don't scratch softer ones. A lot of gemstones are much harder than the metal they are set in. Diamonds and gemstones can scratch the finish on your platinum, gold or silver if you just throw your jewellery together in a heap.

I hope I've inspired you to sort out your dressing table and maybe helped save a few precious things also. Have a look through our past blogs as Harriet has written some great advice on how to care for and clean jewellery. And of course please feel free to ask when buying jewellery the best way to store and look after it, as each piece is different.

Best Wishes,

Jodie Newman
