How do you store your jewellery so that it doesn't get damaged?

Jewellery boxes, pouches or jewellery holders: what should you choose?

Despite what you may think, buying a single jewellery box is a bad idea. Why? Simply because some pieces need more attention than others. For perfect storage organisation, you will need several jewellery boxes (with or without compartments), but also other more specific items from Storage furniture . For example, you can buy a wall-mounted jewellery holder, a jewellery tree or a baguier, to enjoy both functional and decorative storage. For added security, don't hesitate to invest in boxes that can be locked. Finally, remember to always keep the fabric pouches that come with the most precious pieces you buy online or in jewellery stores, as they are great storage allies.

In addition to storage solutions, jewellery care also requires regular maintenance. Read on to discover our cleaning tips for jewellery.

Organise your jewellery according to its material

It is essential to know the material of your jewellery if you want to store it properly. Here are some tips for storing your jewellery according to its composition:

• Store your gold jewellery in individual pouches to prevent it from being scratched by other jewellery.
• Keep your silver jewellery in a dry place (forget about Bathroom). As with gold coins, we recommend that you use individual pockets and avoid contact with rubber, which could tarnish the metal.
• When you are not wearing them, leave your gemstone jewellery in the boxes that were provided when you purchased it. Stones can wear out when in contact with other stones, so it would be unfortunate to accidentally damage your favourite solitaire.
