The history of the appearance of ear pendants, as earrings were called in ancient Rus', goes back several thousand years. In ancient Egypt, wearing earrings meant a high position in society, and in ancient Rome, on the contrary, they were worn by slaves.
Archaeologists who examined Egyptian tombs note that the vast majority of them found earrings made of gold. Gold and silver jewelry were popular in the countries of the Ancient East. It is noted that the imagination of jewelers of those years knew no bounds. Craftsmen used sapphires, rubies and emeralds to decorate their products.
To this day, earrings are an integral part of the image of most women. Over the years, jewelry becomes more and more, and with them, memories dear to the heart. Surely every owner wondered, how to keep a product in its original form and increase its service life. This is exactly what will be discussed in the next article.
How to store earrings?
Today there are many options for storing earrings. Of course, you can do it the old fashioned way - put everything in a drawer, but you must admit, this is not very convenient.
Casket
Women have used jewelry boxes for decades. Over time they have been modernized. Now the voluminous drawers have compartments for different types of jewelry.
Organizer
Another option for storing earrings is an organizer. Practical to use and looks quite unusual. You can easily make it yourself, and put earrings and other jewelry in the pockets. The organizer, for example, can be made of fabric, dividers for cutlery and other available materials.
Boxes
Many girls prefer boxes when it comes to storage. The advantage is that they are quite small in size, have many compartments, departments, and also a mirror.
Other options
Earrings can decorate not only their owner, but also breathe life into the interior of an apartment if you use the following options for storing items. The highlight of the interior can be a decorated grater, a frame with stretched threads, mesh, lace ribbon or fabric, as well as compositions made of copper wire, hangers, homemade shelf boxes or painted tree branches.
Some people store jewelry in a dressing table in saucers, but a modern solution can be glued dishes in a drawer. This means they are stored in a place protected from light without excessive dust or moisture.
If you decide to make your own earring storage, remember not only beauty, but also functionality. Consider the materials and how the finished product will fit into the interior of the room.
How to sort earrings
Once you have decided on the storage location of the products, you need to group them by materials and purpose. It is necessary to remember that the place where jewelry is stored should be cool, dark and dry.
Based on materials
To protect your jewelry, it is better to store each piece separately. This will help avoid scratches.
One simple rule will help you avoid discoloration of gold jewelry and platinum items: You should not keep such earrings in cardboard boxes so that the metal does not react to the sulfur contained in the cardboard. Products made from precious metals are best placed in wooden boxes.
When storing silver, keep in mind that it does not tolerate moisture. You can avoid unpleasant consequences - darkening of the product, for example, by putting activated carbon in an organizer with decoration.
Professionals recommend storing each piece of jewelry in zip bags, although this does not look very aesthetically pleasing. Such measures will certainly help to avoid oxidation, scratches and other problems with metal products.
Treat gold-plated jewelry in a special way: remove jewelry at night, minimize contact with detergents. They, like other products, are recommended to be stored in separate packages.
By purpose
You can sort earrings not only by material, but also by purpose. For convenience, it is best to put items that you wear quite often into one box, and into another those that you wear only to significant events or to work.
How to store “memorable” earrings
Such is life that many women still have jewelry given, for example, by their ex-husband. It is worth noting that they do not need to be stored in any special way. All rules are described above.
If the breakup was serious and there is no desire to leave such a “reminder”, in this case the earrings can be given to relatives or left for the future - to children. A pawnshop may be a way out of the situation. After handing over the product and receiving money, you can purchase something you need or buy new jewelry. In addition, now in many jewelry stores you can exchange your old jewelry for a new one.
