The Importance of Proper Jewel Storage

Keeping Your Valuable Diamond Jewelry Safe

It is recommended that your genuine diamonds and jewelry be stored in a way that keeps them secure. Although the diamond is virtually indestructible some elements of your setting can be subject to damage. Gold is especially one of the softer metals and can easily be ruined – and as professional jewelers will tell you this can seriously affect the value of otherwise beautiful pieces.

Certified diamonds that have been analyzed and evaluated by a gemology lab find their way into a wide variety of settings in engagement and wedding rings. Jewelry storage solutions vary according to the value of the piece. For example, jewelers may recommend a ring case lined with fine velvet. These boxes can contain numerous slots into which your diamond rings can be securely placed away from each other.

Keeping it Safe
When it comes to valuable necklaces and/or bracelets, you should buy a revolving jewelry stand so they don't become entangled. Don't lay them down; keep them hanging so they don't bang one another and wrap around each other. Not only will this save you from the hassle of dis-entangling them, but the settings will stay secure and your jewelry won't get scratched.

Insuring Your Diamonds & Jewelry
It may seem obvious, but it bears mentioning that quality diamond jewelry is an attractive target for thieves and burglars. We all understand the need for security; this is even more important for individuals with valuable pieces of jewelry.

It's important to purchase jewelry insurance and your jeweler may be able to recommend security solutions for your finer pieces. You may want some type of built-in safe if you have an extensive collection of valuable jewelry. In fact, your insurance company may require it. If in doubt, ask a person who has extensive experience in the safekeeping of such merchandise.
