Tips for storing your jewelry

my newest designs for 2022 in Palmwood Root.
handmade Jewelry designs by Alene’s Adornments

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.

Designs are wonderful and jewelry is well made.
Naomi Flink

I like the uniqueness of Alene’s jewelry and the quality of her craftsmanship! Made with love!

Mary Slusser

I still have the first pair of earrings I bought from Alene and wear them frequently.  I could  almost open my own store with all the cuffs, earrings, and necklaces I own of Alene’s.  I admire and respect her talent.  It has been  wonderful to watch her jewelry progress over almost 20 years.  What a pleasure  to wear her talent.  Always compliments!!

Peg Doerfler

I was introduced to Alene’s Adornments through a customer from work (grocery industry). I loved the unique pieces that Alene creates. I purchased a ring and received it gift wrapped and very quickly. The ring is one of my favorites and I receive nice comments when I wear it.

Lynn

After I purchased my first piece of jewelry from Alene…I was hooked. Her craftsmanship, detail and creativity is above and beyond. I will always look to her for gift ideas, and of course, treasures for myself too. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

Linda Mangun

Alene’s creations are not only beautiful, but truly unique. A rare find and appreciated for their one of a kind look and feel. Highly recommend!

Sarah Mckinney

Alene has a gift for creating the perfect, unique piece of jewelry. Her ability to combine copper and sterling creates pieces of jewelry that are second to none. Alene then adds pops of color to create a piece that will call your name. Always eagerly await her new designs to see what new amazing piece will call my name.

Robin Meador

I really enjoy wearing my ‘Alene’s Adornments’ spiral earrings. They’re exactly what I want and like in an earring: authentic materials, light weight and beautiful design. I look forward to adding the next item to my collection of Alene’s creations. I highly recommend shopping here if you want beautiful jewelry, along with great service!
