[QUOTE="antique85, post: 4217942, member: 7651"]Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I am not knowledgeable about the information below and would like to know your opinion on jewelry storage and how you store your fine jewelry? Thank you. When I looked into jewelry storage, I found out that if I don't store jewelry correctly I could risk damaging it--especially pearls. Some experts said steer clear of plastics and for the lining stay away from chemicals and instead use raw silk or untreated cotton as per this jewelry website: "[URL]https://shimansky.com/pages/10-rules-to-follow-when-storing-your-fine-jewelry[/URL]" Similarly, a woodworking website recommended velveteen made from silk, rayon,or cotton and flannel. "[URL]https://cdn.woodsmith.com/files/issues/197/make-a-ring-holder.pdf[/URL]" When I looked at high-end jewelry boxes and jewelry trays most were made from mdf, fake leather, and the description would not state what the lining was made of-- just that it was soft. Finally, I realized I was completely wrong about pearl storage after reading that pearls should never be stored in a sealed container or plastic bag, according to this website: [URL]https://shimansky.com/pages/10-rules-to-follow-when-storing-your-fine-jewelry[/URL]" Again thank you for your time,[/QUOTE]
