How to Store Gold & Diamond Jewellery Safely at Home
By Dhirsons Jewellers, Karol Bagh | Trusted Since 1965
You’ve bought beautiful jewellery — now make sure it lasts a lifetime! At Dhirsons Jewellers Karol Bagh, we don’t just sell 22kt Gold, Diamond, Polki, and Kundan jewellery — we also help our customers preserve it. Here's our expert guide to storing your jewellery safely at home.
1. Store Each Piece Separately
Gold and diamond pieces should not be stored together to avoid scratches. Use soft cloth pouches or separate compartments to keep chains from tangling and gemstones from rubbing.
2. Use Anti-Tarnish Cloth
Gold may not tarnish easily, but silver and mixed metal jewellery can. Wrapping your jewellery in anti-tarnish cloth slows down oxidation and keeps shine intact.
3. Avoid Plastic & Humidity
Never store jewellery in plastic bags, as they trap moisture. Keep your collection in a dry, cool place — preferably with silica gel packs to control humidity.
4. Clean Before Storing
Wipe down jewellery after each wear using a soft lint-free cloth. This removes sweat, perfumes, or oils that can weaken delicate components over time.
5. Invest in a Lockable Jewellery Box
Security is just as important as preservation. Choose a velvet-lined, lockable jewellery box or drawer insert. If you're storing extremely valuable pieces, consider a home safe or bank locker.
6. Don’t Store for Too Long — Rotate!
Wearing your jewellery regularly helps maintain its condition. Items that stay untouched for months are more likely to develop issues like loose settings or stiff clasps.
“Beautiful jewellery deserves beautiful care. A little attention goes a long way in preserving your heirlooms.”
