So, I wear a lot of big jewelry, and my jewelry collection has long since outgrown its large box. I was thinking about hanging a sheet of expanded metal on my wall, getting a bunch of small S-hooks to hook into it, and hanging all of my jewelry off the S-hooks.
However, I vaguely remember something about some metals making other metals that they are in contact with corrode quickly, called a galvanic something-or-other? Obviously, I don’t want my jewelry to corrode.
Does anyone know what metal/metals would be okay to use for this purpose? My jewelry includes pieces that I know are silver and pewter, several I think are tin, and a whole bunch that I have no idea whatsoever what they are composed of (mostly silver-toned, though).
I am addicted to earrings. To keep track of my french wire earrings and some of my necklaces, I have a large cork bulletin board in my dressing room - I hang the earrings and chains from plastic push pins. You can cover the board with cloth if you like.
snakescatlady,I thought about a cork board, or even just hammering nails into the wall, but I like the industrial look of expanded metal, and it will go well in my gothy bedroom. I just want to make sure it doesn’t harm my jewelry.
Thanks, squink, that was exectly the sort of info I was looking for.
