You can also store your jewels in anti-tarnish papers that you get with silver articles or ornaments. They help in maintaining the shine of the jewelry. While it is advised to store jewelry and ornaments in gold-storing boxes with a well-defined section for bangles, rings, necklaces, and others, you can use any other airtight boxes as an alternative. Airtight boxes avoid the contact of the metal with oxygen, the main element responsible for blackening. Oxygen reacts with gold, and hence the gold ornament loses its shine with frequent or daily use. Storing jewelry in the boxes they come in is also considered one of the best methods. The intention here is not to keep two or three pieces overlapping with each other creating friction. Frictions and overstuffing ornaments in a box will cause scratches and damage the jewel piece.

While all these gold jewellery care tips and methods are not possible for daily use of jewels, one way that we recommend can save you is to remove your ornaments safely in a place, each time you are washing utensils or in contact with daily chemicals such as hairspray, perfume, cosmetics and more. Chemicals discolor precious metals, such as gold, silver, and platinum, and damage other items such as pearls.
