How to Safely keep Diamonds and Jewelry in Spain

Diamonds, gemstones, gold, and jewelry are not just luxury items — they are also long-term investments or even family heirlooms. However, in Spain, there are still cases where irreplaceable value is lost due to improper storage. So, how can you ensure your jewelry remains protected and retains its value over time? Here are some practical tips.

Keep Them Outside the Home, in a Professional Vault

More and more people now own valuable diamonds, gold pieces, and other jewelry. These assets are often acquired in various ways: purchased from jewelry stores, acquired from pawnshops, or inherited from family members. Regardless of their origin, such items can carry both significant financial and sentimental value.

Most Spaniards keep their most valuable jewelry at home — in safes, drawers, or cabinets. But does a home safe truly offer maximum security? Unfortunately, even the most modern domestic safes often can’t withstand professional burglars.

One of the safest alternatives is VAULTS1 — private vault facilities offering safety deposit boxes in various sizes.

In Spain, since banks are stopping offering safe deposit box services, people are increasingly looking for alternative ways to keep their valuables. One of the most modern and reliable options is using private vaults. Places like VAULTS1 provide a secure solution for anyone looking to protect diamonds, gold, jewelry, or other valuable possessions.

At VAULTS1’s modern vault facilities, your assets are protected with:

✔️ 24/7 surveillance and advanced monitoring systems
✔️ Reinforced walls, armored doors, and professionally designed safety deposit rooms
✔️ Protection from fire, flooding, and other unexpected risks

Store Documents and Certificates Properly

Diamonds or other gemstones without authenticity certificates often lose a significant part of their market value. Original documents (such as GIA or HRD certificates) should be kept with the jewelry, but packaged separately — preferably in a secure vault, not simply at home.

Regularly Appraise and Insure Your Valuables

Markets change constantly, so it is recommended to have your jewelry, gold, or other gemstones checked and appraised at least every few years. You can do this through a trusted jeweler or a specialized pawnshop that offers professional appraisal services.

It’s also worth considering specialized insurance — many insurance providers will only cover valuables if they are stored in a professional vault, not at home.

Plan for Inheritance

Jewelry often becomes a family heirloom. Storing it securely in a professional vault makes it much easier to pass these items down to children or grandchildren, reducing the risk of loss or misplacement during inheritance.
Unlike pawnshops, vaults provide long-term security and complete confidentiality.
