My Gemstones and Precious Metals -can I Store Them Together?
Gemstones are surely one of the most precious forms of jewels, shimmering in all their opulence and finesse, so are the exquisite metals, gold, platinum and silver. Those with a passion for jewelry will surely have both of these categories of valuables in their jewelry box. However, easy as it might sound, it is important to learn how to store each one of these trinkets so that none of them lose their sheen and long lifespan of beauty.
To begin with, it helps to know that gems and precious stones are hardest of the lot, extremely difficult to scratch, yet they can easily scratch the other items, if stored together. Diamonds are known to be the hardest, followed by sapphires, rubies, going up to pearls and finally metals like gold, silver and platinum, being at the end of the list. Such a contrast in qualities of both the kinds of jewels clearly explains why gemstones and metals should be stored separately, at least in their own containers and pouches.
Start by selecting the right packaging material for your jewels, which will be different for each one of these. For gemstones, traditional jewelry boxes with a simple velvet lining suffice to quite an extent. However, for drops and earrings, it is better to have boxes that have hooks and pegs for keeping these in the right order. Placing these gemstones together with the metals can irreparably damage the latter, especially the delicate ones like the sterling silver.
In fact, one of the most interesting facts about gemstones is that if crammed into a single jewelry box or even kept in close proximity of each other, gemstones could actually end up damaging and scratching each other. Here, it also helps to know that the surface of the natural gemstones is comparatively quite fragile in its initial stages. Necklaces need to be stored flat in order to avoid tangling, Refrain keeping gemstone jewelry in jumbled heaps in boxes, drawers and closets at all costs.
For storing gold or metal jewelry, it is always preferable to use separate Ziploc pouches which are then further stored in jewelry boxes, especially designed for the purpose. The airtight Ziplock pouches ensure that metals such as silver do not tarnish with exposure to air, at the same time helping you to look for the jewelry you want to. Besides, when storing silver, it is always safer to use tarnish-resistant fabric for the lining to avoid any discoloration of the metal.
Precious as they both are, careful storing regimen needs to be followed for gemstones and metals, in their own individual cases and boxes to avoid any damage, scratching or discoloration of your invaluable possessions.
