Are you one of those ladies who carefully wraps their jewelry in tissue, place it in an envelope, carefully fold that envelope, then place it in your purse?

Well, STOP DOING THAT!

Just recently I had a client stop by for me to examine some jewelry that was in need of repair. Upon arriving, she sat down and went into her purse to retrieve her jewelry she so carefully wrapped in tissue. It wasn’t there! Frantically, she dumped the entire contents of her purse on my desk and began sorting through all of it trying to find her jewelry. Just then, she remembered that she had cleaned out her purse the night before. She grabbed her wallet and keys, leaving everything else on my desk, and raced for home.

Fortunately, there in her garbage can, was her jewelry, still carefully wrapped in the tissue.

There are plenty of small jewelry pouches made of silk or velour specifically designed for jewelry. Use one of those instead of taking the chance of unknowingly or accidentally discarding your jewelry.

Besides, do you really want me to see the entire contents of your purse?
