Jewelry Safety 101: How Do You Keep Jewelry Safe at Home?

Thieves are everywhere, even in your house! That’s why it’s important to store your important belongings away at all times. Yes, at all times. So that not even your dog knows where your things are!

Have you ever stolen anything from your parents where you hide their belonging and they couldn’t find it? Just like that, except without the stealing. 

And if we’re talking about important belongings, we’re talking about pieces of jewelry and wallets. Speaking of jewelry, would you like to learn about jewelry safety?

And if you keep reading, we’ll tell you how. 

  1. Installing Cameras

Most people are aware that cameras are one of the most obvious but effective ways of protecting your home. In times of trouble, cameras can detect who invades your home

Set up cameras and security alarms all around your house. You’ll be thanking yourself if something ever happens. The best part? Cameras capture evidence so you don’t have to worry about gathering evidence later on. All you have to do is call the police.

And if the thieves were smart enough, they would notice your cameras and back off. Cameras and security alarms would already be protecting your home before anything happens. 

  1. Safe Box 

Another simple and effective method. Safe boxes come with locks. No one but you know the passcode. The heavier the box is, the unlucky the thieves are.

And even if your safe box is stolen, it’s nearly impossible for anyone to open it. So you’d still have a chance to retrieve your items. Better yet, the police would also be tracking them down. Plus, who’d be dumb enough to try stealing a box with locks? 

To add extra protection, never tell anyone your secret areas that could lead someone to know your safe box. This can decrease the chances of a break-in. Consider getting your own personal safety jewelry. 

  1. Acquire an Insurance Policy

Having a comprehensive plan is the best way to preserve your jewelry’s values. Depending on the value, your company can cover expenses if anything were to happen to your belongings. 

Before filing a claim, you will need to have your jewelry evaluated. Keep in mind that some options are more expensive than others. But that can’t be compared to the values of your jewelry collection. 

  1. Keep an Eye on Service Repairs

Most people aren’t mindful when it comes to being in other’s presence. That’s why it’s important to keep an eye on service repairs when they’re fixing something in your house.

If you happen to be away, ask a friend or a family member to take over while the people carry on their business. They’ll less likely to poke around. 

You never know who could sneakily take your things without you knowing. Remember: thieves could be anyone. You could save other people from getting their things stolen. 

  1. Be Mindful of Guests, Children, and Animals

Before you invite people over, make sure to secure your items in a safe place. If you’re not careful, a child can take your personal item without you knowing.

Animals can such as cats and dogs can knock over your personal items if you leave them out in the open. All of this can be prevented if you store your jewelry away. 

Are These Really All The Ways to Secure Your Jewelry? 

You can consider these to be the “standard” or “logical” ways of securing your belongings. While there’s no “correct” way to secure your things, you’d have to be clever about how you’re going about it.

So, it’d be wise to do any of the following above. Here’s the fun part: there are other unique ways to secure your jewelry, so keep on scrolling to learn more.
