Hi Julia,

    It probably depends on the type of jewelry, the  quality of the
    climate control in the vault & the length of time left in the safety
    deposit box. 

    If you stop to think about it a little, safety deposit box storage
    shouldn't hurt jewelry made from metals, & most stones.  Items that
    have some glue in their makeup may suffer some deterioration, but
    that's normal & would occur at home as well.  Where ever the items
    are stored,  each item should be package separately so that they
    aren't damaged by  rubbing against each other. 

    Another way to look at it is this; the jewelry must be stored
    somewhere, is the safety deposit box any worse than the jewelry box
    or dresser drawer at home? Probably not & I'd venture it's a whole
    lot safer, but maybe a little more inconvenient. 

Dave
