<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 9744325, member: 79705&quot;]Byne&#039;s is caused by acid, and high humidity. So if you live somewhere with high humidity (like me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />) then it will be more of a concern. Acid comes from wood, paper, cloth...organic materials. Humidity becomes an issue when ambient moisture in the air is trapped...and that happens when you keep things in a closed box that you don&#039;t open regularly, or that has no ventilation.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I bought were vintage all-metal, glass and mirror jewelry boxes with sides that are a pierced, open work metal frame. Glass topped, so I could see in. It&#039;s not going to stop all the dust, but it is going to circulate air. You could maybe use an enclosed box and prop it slightly open.</p><p><br /></p><p>Really, it depends on where you live and how frequently you may open your treasure box to look at things. I think most Byne&#039;s happens when grandma&#039;s jewelry doesn&#039;t come out of a box for years, or gets stored in an attic or basement. What I&#039;m using is probably overkill, but I live in a swamp with 100% humidity so I&#039;m a special, terrible case. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
