Organizing Your Jewelry Collection

Now, you need to go to the market and buy two jewelry boxes, one for precious jewelry and one for cosmetic jewelry. Make sure that the boxes have a fabric lining, to prevent scratching of your jewelry. Remember that, if used to its full potential, a jewelry box can really help you keep all your jewelry sorted out and use it to the maximum possible extent.
Before you place your jewelry inside the box, it is very necessary to clean it thoroughly. Use silver polish or a jeweler's cloth to clean silver jewelry and a solution of warm water and dishwashing liquid, for gold (wipe it dry with lint-free cloth or chamois). As for the cosmetic jewelry, just use a toothbrush and some cleaning liquid to clean them up and wipe dry.
Start with jewelry organization. Keep the necklaces in the biggest section of your jewelry box. While laying them down, be a bit careful, so as not to damage them. At the same time, do not place them haphazardly; otherwise you will get rewarded with unwanted kinks in chains and tangling. Thereafter, place the bracelets in a smaller section.
Now is the time to make use of the smallest compartments of the jewelry box, for the purpose of storing earrings and rings. Though these items do not take much space, make sure not to cram them up in a compartment that is too small. Finally, use a deep, medium-sized compartment for storing miscellaneous items. Your jewelry is now organized properly.
