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.

Keep them inside the boxes they came in when you purchased them. Their artisans or vendors have provided those boxes not only for displaying but also for storage storage. You can tell that they help protect your prized possessions when their interiors are lined with felt or any other similarly textured material. To save your items from gathering scratches and dust, always keep them in these 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.

Keeping your fashion accessories in a cool and dry place is always a must. It doesn't matter what metals they are made of or which gems they feature. Do not leave any of your collection near an appliance that produces heat. Because some gemstones may actually change color when exposed to the UV radiation of the sun, never leave your personal ornaments under direct sunlight.

Because your handcrafted fashion accessories are special, you definitely want to take good care of them. It's important to stash them in the right places when not being used. Making it a habit to place them in their respective boxes or pouches saves them from unnecessary cosmetic problems, allowing you to enjoy them for a lifetime.
