Its not going to be ruined, just tarnished, which can be easily cleaned and polished. There is a product you can buy made by a company named Hagarty's (which specializes in silver cleaning stuff) that is an anti tarnish strip. It absorbs the sulfur before the chemical reaction that causes tarnish to occur. They come in strips, and all you do is place them in a bag with the silver <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a>. Every six months or so, replace them. Also try some small independent jewelers who carry silver, they may carry them or be able to order them from their suppliers (i know several supplier who carry them, but dont deal with the public). Also, many silver polishing cloths leave a protective film that inhibits tarnish. Connoisseurs is one good brand that is easy to find. Make sure its for silver, not just an all purpose cloth. As for all other home remedies like toothpaste, baking soda, sealed bag, etc. They dont work. A sealed plastic bag with little air left inside is better than nothing though.</p><p><b>2.

Reader L wondered: You recently posted about traveling with <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a>, which is really helpful as I am traveling more for business. However, storing my <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a> at home is another beast altogether. <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a> boxes do not do it for me (too many funky/chunky costume bracelets and cuffs to fit), and I hate the formal, old fashioned look of <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a> armoires. My <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a> collection is comprised mostly of cheaper costume pieces, though I have some legit antiques and also quite a few mid-price (for me) bracelets/earrings/watches from Kate Spade/Tory Burch and the like, so I do not want to throw everything haphazardly into a drawer just to get tangled/scuffed/scratched/ lost/forgotten. Please help? Thank you! I've been rethinking my own <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a> organization, so this is a great time to discuss.</p><p>As Reader L notes, the easiest solution here is the <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a> armoire, and you can find freestanding pieces of furniture as well as mirror armoires (both freestanding and over-the-door). These look like they would be great for someone who is starting totally from scratch... but I kind of like some of my older solutions better, and I do not necessarily have the space/need for another piece of furniture or another mirror, so fortunately for Reader L, I have some other ideas... Some of my older solutions have been working for me, and some of them have not , so I can not wait to hear what readers say. (Pictured at top: the Acme 16000 Teresa <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a> Armoire, Java Finish, for $122 at Amazon.) Here are my latest favorite ways to store <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a>... Hunting for great <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a> for the office? As of 2021, we are long been fans of affordable brands like Kendra Scott and Gorjana, as well as mid-tier brands like Monica Vinader, David Yurman, and Stephen Dweck. For our $.02: spend money on things like a good watch (or watch strap), gold or diamond earrings, a pearl necklace, and more. For long-term necklace storage, these hanging <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a> bags are great. I feel like they keep my necklaces where I can see them, untangled, and I have not noticed any ill effects on my fine <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a>. (I do keep my very-silvery <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a> in a special bag, and obviously I keep my good pearls in their original velvet case.) I like to wrap delicate necklaces around cut-up old business cards - I always smile when I pull out a friend's old card. For recently worn or often-worn necklaces, I love these acrylic hooks from the Container Store - I have two sets of them and put delicate, short necklaces on the top, and longer necklaces on the bottom.</p><p>I can see everything, and if I am doing a good job of moving necklaces from short-term to long-term storage, nothing gets tangled or lost. For really recently-worn necklaces, I've gotten in the habit of hanging day-of necklaces on towel rings or looping them over the knobs on my bedroom furniture. BAD! I feel like this is a growing problem since I am wearing more delicate necklaces. I think my first two systems should work if I am using them properly, but I have been eyeing this cute glass bottle necklace holder at Uncommon Goods for a possible solution to keep on the bathroom counter. This more traditional necklace stand at Container Store is also very nice, or there's this fun <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a> case for the Doctor Who fans among you.</p><p>I tend to keep both of these in one of two places: a velvet-lined <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a> drawer that came with one of my bedroom pieces, or these little plastic containers from the Container Store. (I would definitely get these Tarnish Inhibitor cases today, though. Hmmn, maybe I need these.) The pros to the plastic containers: they are cheap, they keep everything separate, and all I have to do is hold them up to the light and look at the container from the bottom to see what is in there. The cons: they are not the sleekest things, are they? I've also been thinking about leveling up to this nice black velvet tray at Amazon. I also tend to keep a little tray on my bedside table for earrings and the like. I just got a little geode tray from Bauble Bar (now sold out, apparently), but almost anything would work here.</p><p>They also make ring holders, both fancy and simple - Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's both have some blingy crystal ones - but of course the iconic little cat ring holders still exist too. My system has not been working at all, here, which may explain why I rarely wear bracelets: I've been throwing all of them into a square makeup case that I got years ago (this LeSportsac Train Case is similar to what I've been using). I like the look of this possible solution: a three-tiered organizer for bracelets and watches. My main concern with rarely worn bracelets is that the whole system would gather dust - but I can not seem to find a covered one. Note that they also make separate watch cases that might be great if you have a lot of watches or fluid bracelets (i.e., not bangles). I've also kept some of my more fluid bracelets (tennis bracelets, charms, etc.) in the same <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a>-hanging case with my necklaces; I am not sure if that's working or not. Organizing Your Brooches, Barrettes, and More I am always a fan of brooches, both for workwear and weekend wear - so I am happy that they are trending again.</p><p>Most of my brooches have been thrifted (and were costume <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a> to start, I think), so I keep them in the same <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a>-hanging thing with everything else. Finally, I almost never wear them anymore, but I still have a lot of headbands and barrettes that at one point at least, I paid a lot for and really liked. Again, I keep barrettes in the same hanging <a href="https://www.meetujewelry.com/a-what-s-good-jewelry.html">Jewelry</a> organizers that I keep the other stuff in, and I keep the headbands in a separate bin. (It's actually just one of the Ikea Skubb bins - I am apparently incapable of leaving Ikea without buying at least one pack. Oooh, and they are also on Amazon.)
