    You can buy a jewelry organizer that hangs in your closet and has plastic pouches. That way, your jewelry stays separated.

    Follow the article instructions for storing the jewelry. When wearing your jewelry, avoid getting it wet or in any acidic conditions e.g. swimming pool water with chlorine. Costume jewelry has a wide range of quality, which makes it difficult to know how much damage will occur from cleaning products. The ideal method is an ultrasonic cleaner with mild detergent. Isopropyl alcohol can clean off most dirt from wearing without serious damage. Acetone can damage plating on jewelry.

    It´s your choice. You can either throw them away, or you may want to store them. It´s worth more in the box if you´re focusing on that, but wearing it is more fun than just having it sit there.

    You should avoid storing gold jewelry in plastic bags. These bags can trap moisture and heat, potentially damaging the gold and other materials over time. Additionally, there is a risk of the jewelry becoming scratched.
