[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4218195, member: 5833"]My fine jewellery is almost entirely rings, earrings, brooches & pendants, so small things not bracelets or tiaras. My first concern with how they are kept is with preventing them from getting scratched. A lot of my earrings are in those little velveteen bags. Some of them are designed for earrings & have a satiny divider that keeps the 2 pieces apart. With other pairs I use 2 bags, putting one inside the other. Some are in little hard shell boxes with the insert that holds earring in place. Many of my smaller earrings are in the drawer of a jewellery chest that is really meant for rings. I put the posts down into the slots. Most of my rings are in a box meant for a seller, with 4 or 5 rows of fuzzy furrows to hold the rings & a see-through lid. This is a way to hold quite a number of rings (don't ask) without having a pile of separate little boxes & still keep them protected. The brooches & pendants are largely in individual boxes of various types. I'll spare you the special needs of shell cameos.[/QUOTE]
