How to Spring Clean Your Jewelry Box Like a Pro:

• Empty Everything Out: Start by emptying your entire jewelry box onto a clean surface. This allows you to see everything you own and assess the damage.

• Sort and Categorize: Divide your jewelry into categories: necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, and brooches. Then, further sort by material (gold, silver, costume jewelry) or style (everyday, special occasion).

• Clean and Polish: Gently clean your jewelry with the perfect Connoisseurs cleaner for your piece. This will restore sparkle and shine. Complete your cleansing routine with a polishing cloth. 

• The Clean Edit: Be honest with yourself. Are there pieces you haven’t worn in years? Are there broken items that can’t be repaired? It’s time to let them go. Consider donating, selling, or repurposing them.

• Invest in Proper Storage: Use jewelry organizers, boxes, trays, or pouches to keep your pieces separated and tangle-free. 

• Arrange and Display: Once everything is clean and organized, arrange your jewelry in a way that makes it easy to see and access. Consider displaying your favorite pieces on a jewelry stand or tray.
