Victoria’s Secrets

Ladies! Is your jewelry box, like most people’s, cluttered and unorganized? Cleaning it up is easier than you might think, and it’s important! Storing your jewelry properly will help it will last for generations to come. Organizing it properly will also allow you to see it all so you can wear it more regularly. Let me share with you some simple ideas for making your jewelry box a worthy home for your precious items:

Don't jumble your jewelry.

Always store your jewelry in a clean, dry place, protected from dust. Keep it in a fabric-lined jewelry case, or a box with several compartments and dividers. If you use ordinary boxes, wrap each piece individually in soft tissue paper. This keeps your jewelry free from tangles and will help keep it from tarnishing. Many jewelry boxes don’t have enough compartments, and your jewelry gets jumbled together. Look for a box with many little compartments instead of a few larger sections.

Separate your everyday jewelry.

Jewelry that is worn often – like your watch, wedding ring set, a favorite pendant and earrings – can be placed apart in an accessible smaller box or tray. Find one you like so it can be left on top of a dresser. Many women don’t wear their beautiful pieces of jewelry because they overlook them or getting to them is difficult. Keeping jewelry in sight will help you find what you need and remind you of what you have. (Keep in mind, however, that a secure safe is still your best bet for your high-value gems and irreplaceable heirlooms.)

Hang it up.

Among the organizers available to buy are hanging clear plastic ones with numerous pouches. These organizers are a great way to keep your earrings separate and visible. Put one pair of earrings in each pouch to ensure that the posts will not scratch the other earrings. Hang it on the back of your closet door or even in your closet, as long as it’s in full view.

Making use of these simple tips will give your jewelry box a makeover and ensure you will be able to enjoy your jewelry for years to come.
