How to store your jewelry or pendulum

What could tarnish a piece is mostly air and moisture. To protect your piece, you can store it in a jewelry box, a dedicated box, or even a ziplock bag. Your precious creation shouldn't be stored in an often-moist room like a bathroom. 
To avoid any scratches, keep your piece untangled while storing it.
