Jewelry Storage - How do you store your jewelry?

[ouiouilexiaussi]

I pretty much only wear stud earrings now. Since most of them are silver, I decided to store them in closed, clear stacking containers to slow the oxidation process. Today’s DIY was taking them out of the soft, fluffy stuff that they use cardboard jewelry boxes and using a firmer Styrofoam instead to store my studs. My earrings kept getting tangled, or falling over in the fluff, so I much prefer this material.

How do you guys store your jewelries? Any recommendations on a good jewelry box or safe with keypad?
I live alone but I still want to be cautious.

For every day pieces, i am obsessed stackers jewelry box. For more special pieces they are insured and usually in the safe deposit box

So I chose safe because as my fine jewelry collection grows, that is what I am leaning towards more. It just has to be a safe that isn't the kind that someone can just pick up an walk away with haha. But I do have my things covered by insurance, so that's something you may want to look into.

However, currently I have a standard jewelry box for everything because it's not like I have that much jewelry lol.

I have had jewelry stands in the past. Quite a lot actually. A bit of a waste of money, because I would always be buying new ones to fit the collection I had at the time and then eventually give them away.
I find jewelry stands to take up a lot of space, and while it looks pretty, dust collects very easily and that' s a pet peeve of mine.

I do have a few of jewelry trays for my most worn pieces. 1 in the closet, 1 on my nightstand next to my bed, and a tiny one in the bathroom. I wear many of the same pieces over and over again, so it's not like I put much in my trays. And most of the time I never take them off haha. I'll put something in them when I'm too tired or lazy to put them back into the jewelry box. (like taking off statement earrings for the night after going out and all i want to do is take off my makeup and sleep )

Though I do have an LV jewelry trunk on my wishlist sometime in the future, haha, but that may just be for my most worn pieces and if my collection gets substantial enough at that point, the special pieces go in the safe!

None of the above. I have a travel case (well I guess it’s called that, it looks more like a clutch bag!) that I keep my jewellery in.

Like safety deposit boxes in a bank? I havent thought of that. I was thinking of purchasing a security lock box with keypad on Amazon

Yes! I wanted an LV jewelry trunk but thr one I found online is smaller version. But I'm leaning more towards a safe with keypad that I can place inside my closet. Like you, I don't have many jewelries, but it's growing year by year. I'm rather excited that it'll grow but I will look into insuring.
Is there a minimum or max value when insuring jewelry pieces?

This one is from PB Teen. So classy and chic though. But as far as security seems non existent LOL

Insurance should always be part of a jewelry protection plan! A safe makes it harder for someone to steal jewelry you're not wearing. But jewelry can still be lost or stolen when you wear it.

Any piece that would impact your finances to replace should be insured. My 4 diamond Love bracelet is insured, but my 0.5ttcw diamond studs from Blue Nile are not.

The safe feels a little too small in size, as in, the size you can just physically take and walk away with. Thieves won't take the time to crack open a safe at a residence, they'll take it with them and deal with it later.
You'd need to buy one of a substantial size and weight so that it is difficult to move, and one that cannot be plied open by a crowbar.
You could have a safe installed in a wall, but make sure the foundation it's attached to is solid and secure. Drywall is very easy to break around a safe and just take the safe.
(Not that I have experience, I've just done a lot of research and am still working on what I want for my future safe lol )

The jewelry box is cute and elegant. But if you plan on buying more in the future, maybe get something a little bigger?

Yes, for insurance on personal property, specifically jewelry and watches, there is a limit. You can check your homeowner's insurance policy on jewelry and see what the limit is. It may be under "standard personal property".
If that is not enough, you'll need to get "scheduled personal property", it's an add on that can cover more risks and raise the coverage limit. It's good not just for jewelry and watches but also expensive cameras, art pieces, etc.

Thank you for your advice. I will check with my HOI agent as well.

Ok it seems like I need to do more research haha. The attached safe seems more feasible and more secured! Thanks for your advice. I'll keep you guys updated lol

Safety Deposit box is the way to go or safe in house that can’t be moved
