HOW TO STORE JEWELRY: (post no.2)

Many of us like to keep jewelry in the original gift package,

which is sometime as beautiful as the jewel itself...

Here are some beautiful gift packages,
I would keep at home, with the jewels:

Others store them in a special closed jewelry box.

Here are my favorites, found at ETSY shops:

on a special hanging device or on the wall.  

Here are some nice options, found in ETSY shops:

as well as custom jewelry or accessories.
 

There are some “do’s and don’ts” concerning the materials of the jewels about which I will talk in my next posts:

HOW TO STORE JEWELRY? (post no.1)

We are collectors by nature.  

In the distant past we collected food,
and now we collect objects…

 

                 As the years go by, we have “tons“
 of clothes and jewelry,
 piling in our closet…
 which are waiting for their ” Last Day”.

 

The day of the “Last  Judgment”
 usually comes when we have to move
to another place.
That is what happened to me  twice.
 I was amazed at the quantities of...
you know what. No need to go into details… 
I was glad to get rid of the clothes
(I even gave away my “aged” wedding dress
 as well as my dresses for my children’s weddings).

But– I did not give away any of my jewelry!
 I still have jewelry from my “Bat-Mitzvah”
 (Imagine – I am a Grandma now…)
I guess we get very sentimental concerning our jewelry.

 

What are we doing with this huge and old

                                             collection???

 We usually store our jewelry
 in one of the 3 main options:

- Many of us like to keep the jewels
   in its original gift box,
   which is sometime as beautiful
   as the jewel itself.

- Others store them in a special closed
   jewelry box
   (maybe a safe…) or in a closet  drawer.

 - There are some of us who prefer
    hanging them in the open air
    on a special hanging device or on the wall
   (as I did when I was young and looked for
   originality…).

 

 

This is my favorite jewelry box,
 which I found in the interesting retro
 style Etsy shop
http://www.etsy.com/shop/miloblukiki

 

 

 

And this is another solution ,
also one of my favorite,
which I found in the vintage style
 Etsy shop 
http://www.etsy.com/shop/BlackForestCottage .

 

Sometimes it feels good and up-dated

 to wear our Retro jewelry, and to cling

 to the  dear and sweet memories attached to them,
 

 but alas, they are  worn-out and  impossible to wear!

In my next posts, I am going to give

you several tips about the best ways

to store your jewelry, that will keep them

 in their best shape:

 shiny, clean and almost new.

 

 Until then, think about your way  of storing

 and look at your old jewelry.

 Do they need to be refreshed? 

Bye now,

Vita
