Now that you own several jewelry designs.. how do you store them ?
Take note of the tips below. They are designed to keep your designs like new and ready to wear when you need them.
- Use a jewelry box or case! It is not recommended to keep your designs exposed to the atmosphere. (even treated ones)
- Wrap your copper designs in a soft cloth. this additional coverage keeps the jewelry clean and inhibits oxidation)
- Keep Cuff bracelets in a box if possible. It helps retain the shape. My cuff designs are all packaged in a recycled box and I encourage my customers to keep the box and use it!
- Keep Designs with gemstones or pearls in a separate compartment. Metals tend to scratch or mar the gems if they are clustered together.
- Keep Ring designs on some type of cone or glass dowel. They can be stacked but take care if they have larger gemstones. Those styles should be store alone. My ring designs are all gift boxed, making the perfect way to store your new ring! Many jewelry boxes have built in inserts that let you add the rings to your case.
- Do NOT store in a wooden container or on a wooden surface. Woods frequently contain acids that react to the metal, causing discoloration.
Use some of these suggestions and wear your designs for many years.
Note” for cleaning your designs, follow the guidelines given with your purchase. Sonic cleaners are great, but not for many gemstone pieces. A soft cloth works well for everything.
