So it really depends on the kind of jewellery. My best, most valuable stuff— I mean my solid gold, diamonds— is put in a jewellery box but you don’t really need to do much to protect it otherwise, whereas my silver jewellery is put into air-tight little ziplock bags and then stored in the box to prevent tarnishing. The exception is my wedding rings and my daily earrings because I wear them everyday and need easy access, so I put them in a small dish on the bathroom counter.
