The treasure chest
Keep your precious jewellery safe and looking new, by storing them properly.
- Store jewellery in sturdy cases with soft, lined interiors to avoid rubbing against hard surfaces and scratching, or preserve in soft fabric pouches.
- Store individual pieces separately to avoid tangles and scratches.
- Use tarnish-resistant cloth and cases to store silver.
- Keep your jewellery boxes away from high heat and excessive moisture, which can damage some stones.
- Consider purchasing a jewellery box with a lock and key for extra security.
Caution
- Examine your jewellery carefully, check for loose settings, prongs and clasps.
- Have your jewellery professionally cleaned, about once a year.
- While travelling, carry jewellery on your person rather than packing it in your suitcase.
