Jewelry Boxes

By Irene Mathews


Pearl jewelry is still the classic accessory piece for the timeless fashionista. These lovely stones look exquisite whether they are strung in a necklace or worn solo in earrings. To ensure your pearls continue to look their best through years of wear, it is important to store them properly when they are not in use. Check out these tips for safe jewelry box storage for your precious pearls. Pearls are a soft stone that are highly prone to scratching. For this reason, they should be kept separate from the other pieces in your jewelry box. Other gemstones and metals can easily damage pearls inside your jewelry box by rubbing up against them. It is best to store these pieces inside their own pouch or box, so that even individual pearl pieces are separate from one another.

Avoid Plastic at All Costs

Whatever design themes you choose to highlight must be applied consistently and consciously, leaving no detail to chance. Exceptional care must always be taken to make sure that the beauty of each individual piece of wood is displayed to its utmost advantage.

It is important to apply the same level of detail to the functionality of each piece. Years of experimentation and problem solving have yielded the most efficient and easy-to-use space use that we have seen anywhere. Design features like removable trays and customizable dividers are standard because no collection is exactly like anyone else's. Efficient space use can and should be beautiful, as well.

Pearls need to be kept clean if they are to continue to look their best. Never put your pearls inside an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner for this purpose. While these cleaners are effective in buffing up harder stones like diamonds and sapphires, they can be very damaging to more vulnerable pearls. By the same token, avoid harsh chemicals or cleaners that can harm your precious stones. Instead, roll your pearls gently in a soft chamois cloth until they sparkle.

Think about how you felt the first time your new husband or fianc, got down on one knee and opened a small jewelry case containing something symbolizing the love that you share for one another. Look at the wedding band, symbolizing the strength and bond you made on your wedding day.

Even makeup, perfume and hairspray can damage pearls if they come in contact with these substances during your primping routine. Leave your pearl jewellery safely inside your jewelry box until you are completely ready to walk out the door, to ensure they don't become harmed in any way by chemicals inside your personal products. That is the time to quickly don those lovely beads and get ready to face the world.

Pearls are a necessary accessory for every woman's wardrobe. With proper care and storage of your pearl jewelry, you can rest assured you will be able to enjoy these exquisite jewelry box pieces for many years to come.
