• Store your jewellery in zip or drawstring bags  
   
  Ensure that they of soft cloth like chintz, velvet or cotton. Avoid linen, net, georgette and jersey. This is the best way to protect your jewellery from external elements. If not, you can also put them in wooden boxes, their walls lined with foam and lay them on soft cotton wool. Additionally throw in a silica gel sachets to absorb the moisture if any. 

• Regularly polish your jewellery
