This disclosure relates to implementations of a jewelry storage apparatus (“jewelry case”).
Existing jewelry storage devices, such as cases, pouches, or holders, are generally made from fabric or cloth. However, such existing jewelry storage devices tend to cause oxidation of stored jewelry resulting in discoloration, tarnishing, or other undesirable effects on the jewelry. Furthermore, jewelry can not be seen while stored in such existing jewelry storage devices. Thus, the jewelry has to be removed for display, inspection, etc., which thereby exposes the jewelry to loss, damage, theft, etc.
Implementations of a jewelry storage apparatus (“jewelry case”) are provided. In some implementations, the jewelry case comprises one or more pockets formed in a flexible transparent material. In some implementations, the pockets are configured to hold one or more pieces of jewelry, such as a necklace or earrings.
In some implementations, the jewelry case further comprises one or more attachment components configured to attach jewelry held in the pockets to the jewelry case.
In some implementations, the jewelry case is configured to hold jewelry. In some implementations, the jewelry case is configured to hold jewelry without causing oxidation of the jewelry.
In some implementations, the jewelry case is configured to attach jewelry.
In some implementations, the jewelry case is configured to store jewelry.
In some implementations, the jewelry case is configured to carry jewelry.
In some implementations, the jewelry case is configured to display jewelry.
In some implementations, the jewelry case is configured to protect jewelry.
In some implementations, the jewelry case is configured to organize jewelry.
In this way, in some implementations, the jewelry case provides multiple uses including storing, carrying, and displaying jewelry held in the jewelry case without causing oxidation of the jewelry.
Furthermore in this way, in some implementations, the jewelry case provides such multiple uses without removing the jewelry from the jewelry case thereby preventing loss, damage, theft, etc. of the jewelry.
Additionally in this way, in some implementations, the jewelry case provides flexibility for storing, carrying, and displaying jewelry held in the jewelry case while traveling.
In some implementations, a method of using the jewelry case comprises inserting jewelry into the pockets of the jewelry case. In some implementations, the method comprises attaching the jewelry to the jewelry case. In some implementations, the method comprises storing the jewelry in the jewelry case. In some implementations, the method comprises carrying the jewelry in the jewelry case. In some implementations, the method comprises displaying the jewelry in the jewelry case.

In some implementations, the pockets 104 are formed by a heat sealing processing of the first piece 102a of the material 102 and the second piece 102b of the material 102. In some implementations, the pockets 104 are formed by a sewing of the first piece 102a of the material 102 and the second piece 102b of the material 102. In some implementations, the pockets 104 are formed by the first piece 102a of the material 102 and the second piece 102b of the material 102 in any other suitable manner.
In some implementations, the flexible transparent material 102 is a flexible transparent plastic. For example, in some implementations, the flexible transparent material 102 is a clear vinyl material. In some implementations, the flexible transparent material 102 may be any other suitable material.
In some implementations, the flexible transparent material 102, such as the clear vinyl material, prevents oxidation of jewelry 150 held in the jewelry case 100. For example, in some implementations, the clear vinyl material is configured to prevent the accumulation of moisture and/or other contaminants that may cause oxidation of the jewelry 150.
