Good jewellery storage protects pieces from tangling, scratches, dust and accidental damage. A simple organisation system also makes it easier to find the right accessory when getting ready.

Start with the essentials

Separate necklaces from earrings and bracelets. Use individual compartments or soft pouches, and fasten chain clasps before storing so they are less likely to knot. Keep delicate pieces away from sharp hooks and heavy items that can bend lighter components.

Make it practical and comfortable

Store jewellery in a cool, dry place and avoid leaving pieces in bathrooms where humidity can be high. Keep pieces away from perfume, hairspray and cleaning products. If a piece has stones, glued embellishments or a plated finish, follow the care information supplied with it.

Care and buying checks

  • Read material descriptions and dimensions rather than relying on photographs alone.
  • Check fastening, weight and comfort before wearing for a long event.
  • Keep pieces dry and store them separately according to their care instructions.
  • Review delivery, return and exchange terms before ordering a gift.
