Most women, and indeed, many men, too, love to have beautiful jewelry that they can wear every day or for special occasions, and jewelry is a popular gift for loved ones to exchange with one another. However, even if your jewelry isn’t of a particularly high value, someone breaking into your home with the intention of robbing you won’t know that, and will simply grab whatever items of jewelry they can get their hands on, even if the value is low. This means that while they will almost certainly steal gold and silver items, they’ll likely rob you of any items of jewelry with a sentimental value, too.

With this in mind, it’s important to protect your jewelry and store it where thieves can’t get to it. The best way of doing this, is in a specially designed jewelry safe, and here’s why:

Why should you store your jewelry in a safe?

Safes not only keep your precious items of jewelry protected from thieves, but from the ravages of fire, too. According to insurers throughout the US, personal jewelry is most commonly stolen from homes during a robbery, but if they can’t see it, they can’t get to it, right? Well, almost. It doesn’t mean you can simply hide your jewelry, since criminals who are desperate for money, will literally turn a home upside down until they find something of value; stopping at nothing to ransack your entire home. The best place to put jewelry where it can’t be seen, is in a jewelry safe, where it also can’t be gotten to.

If you purchase a high security jewelry safe, these are virtually impenetrable, even for thieves with tools and a lot of time. They will also protect your jewelry in the event of a fire in your home, and will keep them safe until the emergency services arrive and put out the flames.

Keep an inventory of your jewelry

It’s always a good idea to keep an inventory of your jewelry, even if you have it stored securely in a jewelry safe, since you may lose it while taking it somewhere with you, or even while wearing it, and you’ll need to give details of the item(s) to insurers or the police if you file an official report. Take photographs of each item of jewelry, write a short description of each one along with its cost.

Insure your jewelry

Always get insurance for jewelry items of a high value, and don’t forget to update the coverage each time you add to your collection.

There are many high security safes that you can store your jewelry in at home, but a jewelry safe has more shelves and compartments, which can be helpful when trying to keep items separate and accounted for. For more details about protecting your jewelry at home, consult with a local safe supplier and installer.
