Tip 1 – Storing your gold hoop earrings

Do not store your hoops together with other jewellery or in particular textured gold earrings as gold hoop earrings as they can easily be scratched and tarnished easily.

Do store your gold hoops earrings in either:

• Small separate compartmented jewellery box or draw organiser
• Hang them of your hook on your jewellery box like a necklace
• Place small gold hoops and huggie hoops in a compartmented egg box style storage or a box that has separated compartment
• Use jewellery trees and longer jewellery stands for large gold hoops and chunky gold hoop earrings
• You can use glass plates/bowls/ wooden slabs and any other storage function to store your array of gold hoop earrings as long as the gold hoop earrings are not touching each other or getting too much dust.
• Ideally a container that keeps dust away from earrings and somewhere away from too much light, dampness or water will ensure that your hoop earrings stay dry and safe

Tip 2- Store gold plated hoops separately 

Always keep your gold plated hoop earrings away from your gold hoop earrings. The best way to ensure that both types of jewellery retain their quality is to keep them separate.

Try not to store more than one item in a smaller bag or pouch.
