Your jewelry is an investment. Whether it be a family heirloom or a well-deserved splurge, you want to make sure your jewelry is protected. Here are a few tips on how to keep your jewelry safe at home. 

Use a Safe or Lockbox 

If you have valuables at home, chances are you have a safe or lockbox to keep them in. This is one of the best ways to keep your jewelry safe because it is out of sight and inaccessible to anyone but you. If you don't have a safe, consider purchasing one or finding a place to store your jewelry that has a locking mechanism. 

Homeowner's or Renter's Insurance 

Whether you own or rent your home, chances are you have some form of insurance. Most homeowners' or renter's insurance policies cover lost or stolen jewelry. Be sure to read your policy carefully and find out what is covered and what isn't. You may need to purchase additional coverage for very valuable items. 

Store Your Jewelry Carefully 

When you're not wearing your jewelry, be sure to store it in a dry, cool place. A lot of people recommend storing jewelry in airtight containers with anti-tarnish strips. This will help prevent your jewelry from tarnishing over time. You should also avoid storing multiple pieces of jewelry together, as this can cause scratching. 

Jewelry is a valuable investment that should be protected. By following these simple tips, you can rest assured knowing that your jewelry is safe at home.
