With winter on its way out, spring cleaning is at the front of many people’s minds. As you begin to consider all the different areas of your home you wish to work on, don’t overlook the importance of reorganizing and refreshing your jewelry collection. This is the perfect time to go through the pieces you own and figure out what needs to be updated. Here are a few tips to help you tackle this process.

How to Rejuvenate Your Jewelry Collection This Spring

1. Declutter Your Jewelry Box

Begin by taking everything out of your jewelry box. This will allow you to see exactly what you have and what you no longer wear. It also gives you the opportunity to organize pieces into matching sets or similar items. Then, create separate piles for jewelry you want to keep, give away, or sell. Though you might be in possession of several pieces that hold financial and sentimental value, there could be plenty of others just taking up space.  

2. Set Pieces Aside for Repairs & Cleanings

Before putting items back in your jewelry box, carefully assess each piece for signs of damage and deterioration. If there’s any jewelry that requires repair, package it up to take into your jeweler. Having repairs done will help maintain the piece’s value and provide the chance for you to wear it once again. You may also decide to repurpose some items and transform them into a brand-new design. Tarnished and dirty pieces should also be brought in for a professional cleaning.

3. Sell Unwanted Gold

Any valuable gold pieces that don’t serve a purpose in your life anymore can often be sold for cash. Some items hold their value in the original design while other offers are based on melt value. The extra earnings you make can be used to pay for your jewelry repairs or a new piece you’ve been wanting to add to your collection.

4. Replenish Your Collection

Jewelry spring cleaning also makes it easier for you to recognize any staple pieces you might be missing from your collection. This could be a pair of everyday earrings or a statement necklace for special occasions. Once you’ve decluttered, you’ll have room to replenish with the items you still need.
