Thus, your precious jewelry will be more to put in a velvet jewelry box.

To avoid scratches on your metal but also on your precious stones, avoid overlapping them or rubbing them on other jewellery. Therefore, opt instead for a jewelry box with enough compartments to avoid storing them on top of each other. The best solution is to always ensure that a few centimeters of space are present between the jewels. Never forget that it is essential to clean your jewelry before storing it in its box or case.

Also, be sure to store your jewelry by gender. In other words, store necklaces with necklaces, rings with rings, bracelets with bracelets and earrings in pairs.

The jewels are therefore to be kept alone, in their original case or in a jewelry box (preferably velvet), and in a place that you will remember and for which you will become accustomed to storing them.
