Safest place to keep every day jewelry?

[Anonymous]

Last night I returned home to find that someone had attempted to burglarize our home. Thankfully an alert neighbor heard everything and scared the suspect away.
We do not have much of value in our home but now I'm wondering how to best keep my every day jewelry safe. I don't have diamonds or anything fancy but I have pieces that have great sentimental value and these are pieces that I use/rotate daily. Where should I keep them to keep them safe from a burglar (a bank safe makes no sense as I use the pieces a lot)?

I have a huge old looking book with a hole cut up inside and I just keep things in there.

The book sits in the bottom of my side table along with other magazines.

That can work in the right situation, but sometimes those types of hiding places go wrong when another family member makes a Goodwill run. Goodwill frequently gets some item of value or money that has been put in a garment or other item for safekeeping.

Why on Earth would someone besides myself do a goodwill run in my home?

BTW, DH, my mom and MIL know where I keep the jewelry.

Don't do what I once read, which was to hide jewelry in different pockets of coats. Actually, my grandmother (and she did tell all of us, so we'd know) hid her best jewelry in the bottom drawer of her oven.

If you die you won't be the one doing the Goodwill run.

I heard that burglars seldom go in kids' rooms because they rarely contain anything valuable. I don't know if this is still true since kids often have personal electronics nowadays. Depending on how old your DC is, maybe you could stow your stuff away in there.
