How To Store Your Handcrafted Gemstone Jewelry To Make Them Last

By Leslie Ball


Premium handmade fashion accessories do not come cheap. It's important for you to take good care of them so that you can make the most out of your investment. Luckily, keeping your handcrafted gemstone jewelry pieces looking gorgeous is not that difficult. They can make you sparkle for a really long time provided that you store them in the right way.

Do not throw out the boxes they came in originally. Commonly, they serve as proper storage spaces for your glittering accessories. You know that they make for really excellent storage spaces if their interiors are lined with felt or any other material similar to it. When not being used, your prized possessions can be kept from collecting dust and scratches if they are stashed in their boxes.

Buying a jewelry organizer is a smart move in case you no longer have the box around. The best item to get is something that features several compartments. Especially if you are fond of collecting an assortment of fashion accessories, an organizer with multiple compartments makes it possible for you to organize your accessories while at the same time keeping them out of harm's way.

Go for a jewelry box whose compartments are lined. Without lining, gemstones attached to your fashion accessories may only get tiny scratches due to constant friction with the bare surface of the organizer. Since you really treasure your personal ornaments, it's just fitting for them to be kept inside a premium organizer, such as something out of hardwood and with elegant carvings.

When you travel a lot and you love taking some of your prized possessions with you, purchase small pouches. Every single personal ornament you wish to bring with you should be placed in its own pouch. Doing this helps prevent common issues such as scratches, chips and tangles from happening. The best pouches to get are those that are out of soft fabrics like cotton, velvet and polyester.

If some of your treasured personal ornaments are out of silver, it's a good idea for you to purchase anti-tarnish paper. This is something that can slow down the process of tarnishing brought about by oxidation. Cut a large sheet of anti-tarnish paper into small strips. Place some of them inside pouches, organizer compartments or boxes to make your jewelry items shine for a long time.

Regardless of the fashion accessory type, it's important for you to keep it in a cool, dry spot. Too much moisture in the air can ruin the appearance of your prized possessions. Refrain from leaving your items next to home appliances that give off excessive amounts of heat. Because some gemstones change color upon being exposed to UV, do not leave your accessories under direct sunlight.

Take good care of your handcrafted personal ornaments because they are one of a kind. Make sure that you keep them in the right way when not being worn. You can enjoy them for a really long time by shielding them from unnecessary damage. For their longevity, always remember to stash them in their own boxes or pouches.
