Jewelry storage question - boxes ?

Julie_23 — Fri, 28 Jul 2017 20:27:28 GMT

Any recommendations for a good way to store jewelry? I'm looking for something that will protect from tarnish and provide easy to use/access storage. Looking more for a large box (all jewelry types) vs. stand-up.

I know Colleen Lopez has a line and so does Lori Grenier, I think.

Any suggestions on which one you think is good? And, where you found it if not from one of the shopping channels?

Thanks!

The best ones I've found, although more expensive, are the Wolf boxes on Evine. The prestige boxes on HSN are cardboard; I haven't seen Lori Grenier sell any jewelry boxes lately.

I also recommend Wolf. It has a glass top instead of the plastic tops that Prestige boxes have. I do have four of those for rings, one has a cracked top and needs replacing. Another one was so bad that I scrapped it early on. I wish Wolf would come out with the smaller size Prestige has.

Thank you, @Kachina624 and @depglass! I'd never heard of Wolf. Great to know!

Are they anti-tarnish?

It depends on how much you're willing to spend. I bought a Colleen Lopez jewelry box almost 15 years ago even though I had some nice wood jewelry boxes. I've since bought a few more of Colleen's jewelry boxes because they fit my needs and I've had no problems with them. I don't have priceless gems, so Colleen's jewelry boxes work well for me - what I need to do is get rid of some of my jewelry!

@Julie_23 Yes, the ones I've gotten have been. I won't buy a jewelry box unless it's anti-tarnish.

@Kachina624 ~ I think you have me confused with the OP @Julie_23. No worries ~ I just wanted you to know. (Lord knows I don't need to jump on the jewelry bandwagon along with everything else, lol)!

@Julie_23. I purchase the treated velvet-type cloth that prevents tarnishing. Then I glue it inside any size box or tray or bowl that fits nicely in my drawers. I've even lined silverware/utensil divided racks (great for bracelets and necklaces. The fabric can be purchased from jewelry stores, jewelry supply catalogs, etc. I use RioGrande.com.

Note: Since I make jewelry and wear many silver or silver w/ turquoise cuffs or bracelets every day, I lined a low sided basket with the tarnish free fabric (just loosely stitched it along top edge of basket). I keep it on top of my dresser w/ all my bracelets as a display, but also easy to choose which 5 or 7 (😜) to wear that day. Jewelry is fun to look at. Try to keep it out where you can see it and remember to wear it. If something tarnishes, a Sunshine Cloth cleans it up in seconds.

Thanks so much, everybody!!

(And thanks, @Kachina624, for the anti-tarnish info. I was definitely wondering that.)

Many years ago QVC sold pouches that were tarnish resistant, had leaves that turned like pages in a book and each leaf had various size pouches in it that were clear plastic & zip closed.I have 3 of those pouches - one for gold jewelry , one for silver and one for Lee Sands / Jay King type natural stone jewelry. I have a jewelry armoire where the pouches perfectly fit in a drawer.The other 2 drawers on my armoire have "fashion" jewelry in them.The pouches have worked beautifully to prevent tarnish on my pieces.

I like Lori Greiners Silver Safekeepers. I have a small travel roll-up bag and a hanging one. I don't think she makes those anymore. Also have one of her small jewelry boxes which is lined with that material. I really like them. You have to make sure you polish your sterling silver first before putting in the box.
