To prevent pendants from getting tangled when storing them, see how to store pendants so that they do not get tangled, such as using straws, wrapping them in tissue paper, or storing them in individual compartments within a jewellery box with dividers, or in separate cloth bags, as recommended by Relevee and Mumit Jewellery. A small piece of tape can also be used on the charm to keep the necklace centred and prevent it from moving and tangling.
Practical ideas for tangle-free hanging storage
1. Using straws
Insert the necklace chain into a straw and close the clasp. This keeps each chain stretched and prevents it from intertwining with others. This is a very useful trick especially for travel or storage at home.
2. Wrap in tissue paper
Place each necklace on a sheet of tissue paper, fold it carefully and then store the package inside a jewellery box or drawer. It is ideal to protect delicate pieces and prevent metal to metal rubbing.
3. Boxes with partitions
A jewellery box with individual compartments allows each pendant to be stored separately. This prevents tangles and protects the jewellery from dust and friction. You can find these organisers at joyeriaagordillo.com.
4. Cloth or organza bags
Storing each necklace in a soft fabric pouch helps to keep them separate. Organza bags are a lightweight and elegant option that also protects from dust and scratches.
5. Adhesive tape on the charm
Place a small piece of masking tape (such as washi tape or painter's tape, which leaves no residue) over the necklace charm to fix it in position. This prevents it from moving freely and tangling the chain.
6. Reuse original packaging
Jewellery presentation boxes are designed to protect your jewellery. If you still have these boxes, they are an excellent storage option.
7. Avoid humidity
Store your pendants in a dry place, as moisture can accelerate oxidation and tarnishing of the metal, which in turn contributes to tangles by making the surface of the necklace stickier.
