How to Store Jewelry: Helpful Storage Tips & Tricks

Personal preferences aside, some specific jewelry storage recommendations are universal. 

Whether you’re looking for the best way to store jewelry you don’t wear, want to prevent tarnish proactively, or just need some guidance on how to organize your collection, here are some helpful jewelry storage tips to help get you started.

Separate jewelry by metal

Taking inventory of all of the different jewelry types you own can be a helpful first step in figuring out how to store it all. Make a few piles that separate fine jewelry, costume jewelry, and silver jewelry. Regardless of your chosen jewelry storage method, you’ll want to keep your jewelry separated by type, as this helps prevent the metals from tarnishing when they interact with one another.

Keep jewelry clean and dry

Before any jewelry is stored, make sure that it is clean and dry. Moisture of any kind can cause the metal to tarnish or degrade much more quickly. For instance, if you got caught in the rain while wearing your favorite silver necklace, be sure to thoroughly dry it off before putting it back.

If you’ve got jewelry that’s already tarnished, you may think it’s already beyond the point of cleaning. However, you should still try to remove tarnish from jewelry stored for more than a week. Storing dirty jewelry of any kind for a prolonged period can cause issues with premature and excessive tarnishing. Plus, storing tarnished jewelry with untarnished jewelry can cause both pieces to tarnish faster.

How to Clean Jewelry for Storage

Whether you’ll be storing jewelry together or separately, it’s a good idea to thoroughly clean and polish your pieces before tucking them away. 

Most jewelry can be cleaned using the following method:

• Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to buff away dirt and debris.

• Pat jewelry dry with a lint-free cloth.

• Remove tarnish with a silver polishing cloth.

Consider storage temperature (Most important if you are in humid area)

Did you know: High humidity is the main culprit that speeds up the tarnishing process of jewelry. If you live somewhere with a particularly humid climate, maybe you’ve noticed that your jewelry tarnishes faster in the summer months. 

Consider putting a moisture absorbing silicon pack next to the jewelry container/box 

What is the best way to store silver jewelry?

Silver jewelry typically does best when stored in a box lined with felt. That’s because the felt helps absorb excess moisture and prevent premature tarnishing. For larger silver pieces, it might be best to keep them stored separately inside their own dedicated felt pouch or wrapped in a silver polishing cloth to limit exposure to the air. In this case, you’ll have to remember what you have in your collection and make a conscious choice to wear it since it won’t be visually on display.

Even with proper storage, silver jewelry requires regular polishing at least twice a year to remove tarnish. Don’t over-polish silver jewelry, as this can also cause damage.

What is the best way to store fine jewelry? 

Above all, fine jewelry should be kept in a secure location so it’s less susceptible to burglary. Consider keeping it inside a safe or another inconspicuous place in your home.

It’s also essential to store fine jewelry away from direct sunlight because some stones can become damaged by prolonged exposure to UV light. A high-quality jewelry box works great for pieces you don’t wear daily, but not all fine jewelry needs to be put away. Have a place on your dresser or nightstand where you can keep jewelry you wear daily, like your engagement ring or diamond studs. 

Get in the habit of always putting your jewelry away in the same spot, so it’s less likely to get lost.

Other fine jewelry storage tips:

How to Store Diamonds: Store fine jewelry in a way that the pieces do not touch each other. Diamonds are capable of scratching other stones and metals.

How to Store Pearls: Keep pearls inside a wooden box with a felt lining. Never store pearls inside a plastic bag or box because plastic can interact with the pearls and cause them to deteriorate.

What is the best way to store costume jewelry?

Costume jewelry is generally safe to keep out in the open, so you can store these pieces on a jewelry display stand. Keeping costume jewelry in plain sight can be helpful so you don’t forget what you have, and you’re more inclined to wear it on a daily basis. After all, It’s unlikely you’ll want to dig through a jewelry box in the morning when you’re getting ready for work.

If you want to store costume jewelry for a more extended period of time, apply the same rules you would with fine jewelry. Keep this jewelry from touching inside the jewelry box, and maintain low humidity and consistent temperature.

Costume jewelry storage ideas:

• Keep necklaces from getting tangled using twist ties.

• Make a jewelry holder from an old frame.

• Use an old metal rake to store necklaces.

• Organize earrings in egg cartons if you don't have a compartment storage box.

Consider jewelry insurance

No one wants to think about bad things happening. But if you have an extensive collection of fine jewelry, it’s important to properly protect it before tucking it away in storage.
