I like the Stackers cases from The Container Store:
I have an assortment of the classic and supersize trays. You can pair the “deep 3-section” tray with their watch rolls and it’s perfect for storing cuffs. I keep them all in a large fireproof safe. I had to get a contractor friend to help me haul the safe up to my bedroom, it was so heavy, lol.
I’ll also give a plug for the Double D Ranch travel collection, which is great for (you guessed it) travel. I have the Santa Fe Case and just got the San Antonio Squash Keeper for Christmas. They are a little pricey but really nice and great for travelling with my jewelry, which is always a bit of a challenge. I’m so excited to finally have a safe way to carry my squashes and heishe bead necklaces on the plane without having to wear them all (such an ordeal at security).
As far as keeping a water glass near your jewelry, I would imagine it wouldn’t hurt the turquoise but might speed up the tarnishing of silver a little. I sometimes save those little desiccator packs that come with clothing and toss them in with my jewelry, which I suppose is the opposite of storing it with a glass of water.
I love these! Thanks for posting. I have a soft jewelry case that someone gave me, but it’s falling apart. Other than that I save a lot of bubble wrap and old makeup bags to carry stuff. These are way more elegant!
Glad to hear I’m not the only one who wants to wear my stuff everywhere! And I’m also always having to take off cuffs to get through security…had to do that a concert a couple weeks ago
Holy Moly that’s some serious simoleons for that case - but, I have a lovely old Hartmann leather train case that would easily convert to a similar style if I got really creative with the interiors…
@Jemez2 Thanks! Nice smaller case, as you said perfect for a short trip! The one thing I really like about the Double D is the cuff bars, but I’m sure smaller pillows would fit in the bottom compartments for cuffs!
I am adding on to this thread, because today I am very glad that I have a mini fireproof safe for my jewelry (although I need another; the rest I put in a small box to transport). Our area is under a torcon 5 today. Last year when that happened a tornado did touchdown a few miles from us. So I’m thinking I may put my jewelry in the basement again today
When we were out in AZ recently, there were some big prescribed burns going. That also made me think if I lived out west I would be glad to have a fireproof safe for my stuff (although I don’t know how well that would really work in a bad fire, and those are much more scary to me than tornadoes, so probably wouldn’t be what I would be thinking about).
Hope all goes well for you @Ziacat; your concern (though humorous) is understandable.
After years and years of shoving my better jewelry into our household and gun safe, my husband got me a good size jewelry safe that has a high fire rating (he’s ex-law enforcement and is always concerned about safety). It has drawers and shelves that make accessing jewelry so easy…and it’s in my closet, so really easy access. If anyone is thinking of getting a jewelry safe, I’d recommend these Fort Knox jewelry safes, they come in varying sizes and can be customized to your specifications (Jeesh, I sound like a salesman!). Of course that would likely cut into the jewelry budget😆.
That looks like a great safe, but doesn’t completely solve the problem for those of us in tornado country that have basements. I would have to keep it in the basement, because it doesn’t look like something I could carry up and down. And I would rather not have my jewelry in the basement all the time. All joking aside, my sister, who lives in central IN, did get her house hit by a tornado in '14. Ripped the garage right off, plus did some other damage (although not bad enough to have it condemned). But it took the second floor off their neighbor’s house. Tornadoes are so bizarre.
Yeah, I think tornados are not only bizarre, but really scary! I’m really fortunate to not live in tornado country, our only concern would be fires or theft. Wouldn’t melted jewelry be horrible! And, I’d hate to have to go to the basement to access a safe. Just like everything, it depends on the individual situation. So, fingers crossed for you and all in your area
Thank you, but I’m sure we’ll be fine. I’m just taking precautions; I worked hard to get all that jewelry
TBH, I’d be way more terrified of wildfires. And actually probably more of a chance of a house fire causing loss than a tornado. I’ve only actually seen one once, and it was small and didn’t cause any damage, although I did hear the one last year. But I really do need to get a second fire safe, because only about half of my jewelry fits in the one I have (but I did just carry a box of jewelry to the basement ).
And now I’m going to head off to what amounts to basically a giant pole barn for work (although there are some cement block locker rooms in the middle)!
for that case - but, I have a lovely old Hartmann leather train case that would easily convert to a similar style if I got really creative with the interiors…
