Simple Tips To Make Over Your Jewelry Box

I thought this was some good info for jewelry lovers.

If you are like me, you wish your jewelry box weren't so cluttered and unorganized, there may be good news for you: Getting it organized is easier than you might think. It is also very important. Storing jewelry properly will help ensure it will last for generations to come. The right organization lets you see your jewelry so you can wear it more regularly. Here are some simple tips for getting your jewelry box worthy of the jewels you put in it:

Don't jumble your jewelry-Always store jewelry in a clean, dry place such as a fabric-lined jewelry case or a box with numerous compartments and dividers. The problem with a lot of jewelry boxes is that they don't have enough compartments, causing the jewelry to get jumbled together. If you prefer to use ordinary boxes, wrap each piece individually in soft tissue paper. This keeps your jewelry untangled and will help prevent tarnishing.

Separate your everyday jewelry-Jewelry that's worn often can be placed in a smaller jewelry box or in jewelry trays. Find a box or tray that can be kept accessible and matches your style 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 accessing them is difficult. Keeping jewelry accessible 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 irreplaceable gems.

Hang them up-There is a variety of organizers that have a hangerlike hook with numerous clear pouches. Those styles are a great way to keep your earrings separate and visible. Place one pair of earrings in each pouch to ensure that the posts will not scratch the other earrings. Hang them on the back of your closet door or in your closet.

Implementing these simple tips will make over your jewelry box and help you enjoy your jewelry for years to come. For more information on fine jewelry care, visit Jewelry Information Center at www.jic.org.
