Jewelry Safe

Jewelry Safe - Tips and Guide

A home jewelry safe should provide protection from both fire and burglary.

Others keep their precious jewelry locked up safe at the bank, making it inconvenient to wear. Jewelry safes address the downsides of both of those options by providing convenient, secure storage of jewelry.

Consider what type of lock you prefer. Jewelry safes can be configured with either a traditional tumbler style combination lock or an electronic lock. Regardless of what style lock, the lock on your home jewelry safe should be one that has the U.L. high security rating.
As mentioned previously, both style locks are equally secure so the choice between combination lock or electronic lock is really about personal preference.

The other key component of home jewelry safes is the jewelry box inside.

When shopping jewelry safes the selection of the lock is an important decision.

There are three different styles of locks that may listed by U.L. as high security, the traditional combination lock, the electronic lock and the biometric lock.

The high security combination lock typically has a three digit combination.

The combination lock provides reliable and secure access to jewelry safes but is not the fastest way to get into your home security safe.

Electronic locks offer quick and easy access to the contents of your home jewelry safe at a very reasonable price.

The most recent entry into the list of locks available for home jewelry safes is the biometric or fingerprint lock.

As you evaluate ways to keep your jewelry safe don't underestimate the importance of selecting the right lock for your home jewelry safe.

Keeping Jewelry Safe When You Travel

While you aren't wearing your jewelry, store it in the safe deposit box of the hotel where you are staying.
Never leave jewelry in your hotel room even if you think it is well hidden.

Never assume that wearing false jewelry will make you safe. Most people won't have a clue if the jewelry is the real thing or not and it may still make you a target of jewelry theft.

Never wear valuable rings while swimming or in the sauna.

Invest in a jewelry travel case that rolls up. This will keep jewelry from falling out and getting lost in transit.

Also, take care about where you wear your jewelry when you are out in unfamiliar areas.
