30 ways to travel with jewelry and keep it all organized.

Traveling with jewelry is a nice way to stay stylish while traveling and accessorize your look without bringing dozens of outfits. But how do you keep it all organized without opening your bag to find a big, tangled mess?

We’ve scoured the Internet for the best hacks for traveling with jewelry and some offbeat ways to travel with necklaces, earrings, rings, and bracelets. Best of all, most of these don’t require you to buy anything, as a number can be found around your house.

Ways to Keep Your Jewelry Organized in Luggage

1. Mint tin: Save those Altoids or Tic Tacs containers after you are done with them! They make for a great container for jewelry, especially when you add a cotton ball to protect them.

2. Hard sided jewelry cases: While they take up more room, cases like Caracaise, which looks like a briefcase with foam cushioning, and smaller versions with compartments for earrings, fully protect your items. Something like this on Amazon would work.

3. Drawstring jewelry cases: Another type of jewelry case is the pouch, which you can buy or make yourself . This allows you to place all of your items on a circular piece of fabric that has strings that pull it into a pouch. It’s better suited for everything but necklaces.

4. O-Rings: Metal ring clips that are used for crafts and school projects can also be used for rings, bracelets and necklaces. Simply open it, slip them on, and pack! See these on Amazon .

5. Drinking straws: Prevent your necklaces from getting tangled. Simply thread one side of the chain through a plastic straw and attach at the other end. It keeps one side rigid and tangle-free.

6. Pill containers: Do you have a days of the week pill organizer? Use it to separate rings and earrings on-the-go. You can use one you have at home or purchase from your local pharmacy for around $5.

7. Travel toiletry containers: Use those extra GoTubbs , snack cups and other travel containers to store small jewelry items. They’re ideal for rings and earrings that won’t be affected by tangling.

8. Cling Wrap: Ideal for necklaces, you can prevent tangling by lying the items out on one piece of the “ Press N Seal ” style and pressing them together, making sure to give space between them. You should be able to find it easily at the grocery store, but standard cling wrap will also work if you roll it.

9. Jewelry rolls: Organize your items through zippered compartments and a large panel that folds over and ties to keep from getting tangled. Buy online or make your own using these instructions . They also take up little room since they lie flat.

10. Ziploc bags : If you have plenty of bags, place one item in each bag with end of the necklace zipped in the top. Rings and earrings can be placed into bags together.

11. Washcloth and rubber bands: I love this idea from Pinterest about how to make your own jewelry roll without buying or sewing anything. Simply place your necklaces apart on a washcloth, roll them lengthwise and fold in half, adding rubber bands to each end to keep them secure.

12. Erasers: Keep the backs to your stud earrings from getting lost in transit by sticking them in a simple eraser leftover from your school days.

13. Craft store bead organizer or fishing tackle container: These are basically the same but are marketed differently. Either way, seek out a clear plastic container with removable compartments. That way, you can change them out for your specific items.

14. Travel soap dish: Store bracelets, earrings, and rings in a travel soap dish that you can pick up at just about any store. It can protect everything and keep it in one place.

15. Contacts case : These work for almost everything, specifically small earrings. Use a container you no longer have a use for.

16. Styrofoam plate: Simply stick your earrings through the plate, which is best for studs and dangling earrings. Then you can throw it in your suitcase, surrounded by other things.

17. Carabiners : You really can use them for everything! These cheap items can be used for bracelets or even necklaces by simply clipping them on.

18. Toilet paper roll: Once you’ve used it all, loop your bracelets around it and then strand your necklaces through the tube itself. Place on top of your suitcase for the best results.

19. Baseball card holders : Remember those plastic divider pages you’d use to protect baseball cards or other collectibles? They also are great for separating your jewelry. Place each item in its own pocket.

20. Glasses case: Once you’ve grown out of a pair of glasses, use your glasses or sunglasses case for bracelets, earrings, and smaller items.

21. Buttons: Keep those earring backs safe by threading them through those extra buttons you’ve been saving from every shirt.

22. Safety pins: Loop your hoops or dainty necklaces through a safety pin like you would with the carabiner.

23. Zippered pouches: You can buy these in satin varieties in Asia or at stores like the Container Store in the US. Small pouches of any variety will do for bracelets and earrings.

24. Socks : A member of our HPLWorld community recommended using socks for rings. You can place items inside since you’ll already be packing them.

25. Empty lip balm container: This one is specific to the Eos brand , but once you’ve used all the lip balm, they make a great earring container. Pop them in your purse for safekeeping!

26. Hanging jewelry cases: Like jewelry rolls, these toiletry and cosmetic cases can also be used for jewelry. It allows you to keep organized while being able to see everything. Check this one out on Amazon.

27. Cupcake liners: Another recommended placing earrings in cupcake liners, either paper or foil, and then wrapping in foil or another item to keep everything in place.

28. Index cards: Push backs of earrings through or loop bracelets and necklaces around them.

29. Business or playing cards: Like with index cards, you can organize necklaces by placing two small cuts in cards to wrap around tightly and keep secure.

30. Wine corks: Similar to erasers, use wine corks for earring backs.

Extra Tips for Traveling with Jewelry

We’ve mentioned it briefly in the intro, but choosing the right jewelry can be an easy way to take your outfit from day to night. Here are some extra tips to consider:

1) Pack a statement necklace. Something bold will take the attention off the clothing underneath, and it will trick you into feeling like you’re wearing a completely new outfit. Plus statement necklaces can dress up the most simple ensembles! (See our professional packing list for more tips.)

2) Pack cheap jewelry. It goes without saying that you should never pack any jewelry that you’d be upset with losing or having stolen.

I use some of the smaller, travel-sized Stackers jewelry storage boxes from The Container Store and they have worked well for me!

I save the tiny zip lock plastic bags from the extra buttons.that are usually attached inside a new garment. They work great for necklaces and most earrings..Then I enclose the individual bags in a larger more secure bag or pouch.. .

When on vacation I either get very relaxed about my outfit or do not take time to change jewelry. I have decided to start tieing a jewelry (costume) bag to my nice outfits hanger, so I did not have to dig thru jewelry to find what I want for this outfit.

How to Travel With Jewelry: 8 Things You Need to Know

• How to Travel With Jewelry:…

Want to travel with your favorite trinkets on your next trip? There are lots of ways to keep your jewelry safe and organized while on the road. Find out insider tips and tricks with this guide on how to travel with jewelry.

How to pack your jewelry

While it can be tempting to throw all your jewelry in a jacket pocket or a shoe, this is a recipe for lost and broken pieces. The best way to pack your jewelry is in a dedicated holder so you don’t have lots of stray items floating around your luggage.

When looking for something to keep your jewelry in, you need to consider three things: protection, organization, and accessibility. You don’t want anything to be lost or damaged, you don’t want things to get tangled, and you want to be able to find everything easily. Which of these you choose to focus on will depend on factors like the amount and type of items you want to take and how valuable they are.

Types of jewelry organizers

Fabric pouches.

Sheer fabric pouches are a common approach to storing your jewelry and are a good option for short trips. But it’s easy for them to get lost floating around in large luggage. Necklaces can end up in knots with all the movement and it doesn’t offer much protection from other items in your bag.

One solution to this is to keep them in a pocket in your wash bag. It offers extra protection and keeps them together in a convenient, easy-to-find place. I personally like this option as it’s a reminder to take things off before getting in the shower. Just make there’s no risk of it getting wet.

Jewelry rolls

A popular option for traveling with jewelry is a fabric jewelry roll. They have lots of organization features and it’s easy to unwind and see everything you own in one place. They’re small and easy to slot into a small space in your bag. The fabric stops things from getting scratched, but it may not be sturdy enough if you have more expensive pieces.

A travel jewelry box

A mini jewelry box is the best way to keep your jewelry protected during travel. They have lots of gentle slots and separators to keep everything organized and in top condition.

But since it’s so sturdy, it can take up much-needed space in your luggage. Space for what you ask? Here are some items that should be on your packing list in every trip: travel essentials for women .

DIY jewelry organizers

Don’t want to fork out on fancy jewelry holders for your next trip? You can make some excellent organizers from items lying around your home.

• Use Ziploc bags to keep everything together.
• Punch holes in a piece of cardboard to custom-fit all your pieces.
• Use an old pill organizer and put a different item in each day’s box.
• Thread necklaces through straws so they don’t get tangled.
• Fasten earrings through buttons so you don’t end up with odd pairs.
• An old tin with something soft inside will stop things from getting thrown around.

Types of jewelry to take traveling

The type of jewelry you’ll want to take with you will depend on where you’re going and what your plans are. If you have lots of nights out on the town planned, you’d want to pack more jewelry than if you were going on an adventure holiday. Consider your comfort too. If you’re wearing sneakers the whole time, an ankle bracelet will probably get on your nerves.

Research any safety measures you want to take during your trip. If you’re traveling to a poor area it might not be appropriate to flash your wealth. Wearing any high-quality jewelry could make you a target in places with high crime rates. If you’re unsure, keep things conservative or forgo wearing it all together.

If you’re going on a beach holiday or anywhere where you’ll be in and out of the water, consider if you’ll remember to put your jewelry on and take it off all the time. If you still want something to wear with your bikini, you could take cute non-metal pieces like shells or beads. There are also some great companies around producing waterproof jewelry that doesn’t tarnish.

Choosing what to take

If you’re a magpie when it comes to sparkly things, then you might be struggling to fit all your favorite pieces in your luggage. Take a look at the outfits you’re planning to wear and pick the items that you think will go best with them. Try to pack small and versatile pieces that will go with anything. Then if you have extra space, you can take a few extra pieces with a bit more pizzazz.

As always when putting together your travel wardrobe, having a color scheme makes things easier. If you haven’t picked a side yet, try to go with all silver or all gold items so they’re easy to mix and match. Check out this article for more tips on traveling light and looking stylish .

Protecting your jewelry

While traveling, you’re often doing activities outside of your normal routine. When you’re having fun, it’s easy to forget how that might affect your jewelry. Remember, your trip should be about relaxing and having fun. If traveling with expensive or sentimental jewelry is going to cause you unnecessary stress, you might be better off leaving it at home.

Sweat and suncream can both cause metals to tarnish, giving your favorite necklace a shorter sell-by date. If you’re somewhere hot, try to stick to non-metal pieces or cheaper costume jewelry during the day. It’ll fit the holiday vibes and you can save your nicer pieces for dressing up in the evenings.

Consider when you’re doing any high-impact activities and make a mental note to leave your jewelry at home. It could be a prime time for a necklace to rip off or an earring to fall out. Whether you’re bungee jumping or surfing, it would be a real downer on the day if you broke your favorite bracelet. It could also be a breach of health and safety protocols.

Traveling with valuable Jewelry

If you need to take expensive jewelry or pieces with a high sentimental value on your trip, you can take extra measures to keep them safe. As with all important items, you should pack expensive jewelry in your carry-on luggage for extra security. Once you arrive at your destination, keep it in the hotel safe whenever you aren’t wearing it.

When wearing expensive items, be careful not to flash them in risky areas or late at night. If you’re wearing something for a special event, take a taxi or private car there and back to minimize the risk of it getting snatched on the way.

Expensive jewelry is often covered by your travel insurance. Check your policy before you go to know not only if you’re covered for all your items, but if the type of travel and your destination is covered too. If you’re struggling to find a quote that includes your jewelry, you can also take out separate insurance designed for matters like this. Make sure you have a list of everything you take saved on the cloud so you know what you need to claim in an emergency.

Leave space to buy new items

I’m not one for souvenirs gathering dust on my shelf and try to things with a purpose to take home with me. I love picking up small pieces of jewelry when I’m traveling as a memento of my trip.

You can pick up beautiful, handcrafted pieces that have a story, so they feel special without breaking the bank. That way, you get to learn a bit more of the culture and it isn’t a big deal when pieces get lost or damaged.

Will my jewelry be picked up by the airport scanner?

Jewelry will rarely cause a problem at airport security. In fact, TSA recommends you keep expensive jewelry with you at all times . Keeping it on your body instead of in your hand or checked luggage is the safest option while traveling. If you do set off an alarm or must provide extra information, you can ask for searches and further discussions to be made in a separate room for your privacy and security.

Should I declare jewelry at customs?

For some countries, it’s okay to enter and leave with personal items you already own. Sometimes there are restrictions on the amount or total value of jewelry you can’t declare. Anything you’re worried about, you can register with a customs officer before you depart. If you buy fine jewelry abroad, many destinations require you to declare it on arrival.

Navigating customs laws can be confusing. You should always use official government sites to check ahead of time what the customs requirements are for the destination you’re traveling to. If in doubt, declare it. It may cause extra hassle at the airport but could save you a lot of money in the long run.

Does waterproof jewelry really work?

If you’re going to be in and out of the water a lot on your trip, it can be annoying to think about taking your jewelry on and off and leaving it in a safe place. The latest trend in the jewelry world is waterproof, but does it actually work? Stainless steel, titanium, and platinum are just some materials that are sturdy enough to survive a few dips.

Bear in mind that waterproof is not the same as chemical proof . Chlorine, sweat, suncream, soap, and seawater all affect different metals in different ways. You’ll have to check the care requirements for each piece you choose to wear. If you don’t want the hassle, skip the jewelry or take less expensive pieces that you don’t mind getting tarnished.

Ten Tips for Traveling with Jewelry

Published July 24, 2014

Packing for your dream vacation and wondering if you should bring your favorite pieces of jewelry? Wonder no more as we provide you with tips for traveling with jewelry.

Since fine jewelry has financial and emotional value, many travelers would rather leave it at home. But so long as you remember the following guidelines, you can safely travel with jewelry that is precious to you. GIA Exhibit Developer McKenzie Santimer, who’s packed and shipped jewelry worth millions of dollars, is here to share her top 10 tips on how to do it right. Feel free to share them with your friends and family!

Photograph your jewelry.

• Photograph your jewelry : Photograph all the jewelry you plan to take. Should a piece get lost and is eventually found, you can use the photo to prove that it’s yours.

Take your jewelry as a carry-on item.

Organize jewelry when traveling using a pill box.

Left: Put pieces with lots of gemstones and delicate parts in plastic bags. Gift of Paul Klecka. Right: Pinning earrings in a plastic bag is a great way to protect them.

• Pack your jewelry in plastic bags : Plastic sandwich bags are a great way to pack jewelry. Put each piece in its own bag, and then label the bag with a description of what’s inside it. This lets you quickly see everything that you’ve brought. Don’t store pearls in plastic bags for extended periods of time.
• Pin your pieces : If the piece has a pin (like an earring or brooch), put the pin through the plastic bag so it won’t move. This prevents pieces from rubbing against each other, which can scratch and damage soft gemstones.
• Don’t use cotton battening or cotton balls : Cotton battening and cotton balls leave fibers under prongs. Saran wrap or plastic bags from the dry cleaners are far better choices. They won’t leave fibers on your jewelry and let you see what you’ve packed.

Stringing chains through straws keeps them from getting tangled and damaged. Gift of George Brooke.

• String chains through straws : Stringing your chains through straws prevents them from getting tangled. This simple trick can save you a headache at the hotel.
• Don’t take too much : Sometimes less is more. You can still make a splash by bringing a select few pieces, while leaving the rest at home.

How to Take Care of Jewelry While Traveling

All products featured on Condé Nast Traveler are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

On the short-list of items that require special care when traveling, jewelry is somewhere close to the top. Their precious metals and delicate settings are just a few of the characteristics that make them more susceptible to damage both while en route and once you arrive at your destination. Whether you’re traipsing around a tropical island and need to protect your pieces from tarnishing or just trying to keep them clean after a long day of traveling through an airport, where they could be exposed to bacteria or accidental bangs and bends, it’s best to stay prepared.

Luckily, there are a myriad of jewelry care tips and tricks to protect your pieces while you’re away from home—we’ve consulted with experts in the field to find out their favorites.

• How to prevent tarnishing
• How to protect your jewelry
• How to safely pack your jewelry
• How to clean your jewelry

What jewelry to bring on vacation

How to prevent tarnishing on vacation.

According to Jacqueline Kim, the account director at consulting firm DEH Jewelry Solutions , tarnishing occurs primarily due to chemical reactions between metals and elements in the environment, such as oxygen. “Metals like silver, copper, and also brass are particularly susceptible to tarnishing because they react with sulfur compounds present in air and water to form sulfides, leading to discoloration and dullness over time,” Kim says. “This process is accelerated in humid or acidic environments.”

On vacation, this can look like sitting by the pool at a tropical resort or hiking in the desert where sweating and exposure to chlorine or saltwater is imminent. But in order to prevent tarnishing and discoloration from happening, it’s important to keep your pieces as clean as possible and tucked away when not in use to minimize oxidation.

How to protect your jewelry while traveling

Aside from the oxidation and tarnishing of your pieces, there are other risks that come with bringing jewelry on a trip: Chains can get tangled up, which can lead to knots or broken links, and abrasions might come from the precious metals clinking together or tiny grains of sand and gravel scratching the otherwise smooth surface. Atara Lev, the head of design at Material Good , also points out that one should be cautious of sporting their favorite rings on travel days in particular, since you’ll likely be handling and lifting baggage, which can cause the metal or settings from bending.

This is also one of the reasons why she suggests not wearing your jewelry to the hotel gym —especially rings. “So many types of workouts involve using our hands in some capacity,” Lev says. “Rings are made of precious metals and have the ability to bend, crack open, or snap apart, depending on the thickness of the piece. It’s so easily avoidable.” It’s also worth mentioning that running and other high-cardio workouts tend to make your body swell, which can make getting rings off difficult and in more severe cases, cut off your circulation.

How to safely pack jewelry on vacation

Our experts agree that properly storing jewelry when it’s not in use avoids exposure to harsh chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, and any other damage. This means securing your pieces in air-tight containers and soft pouches made from fabrics like velvet, suede, or leather. Calpak’s travel jewelry case is a great option—it has a drawstring compartment and five slit pockets that can comfortably fit bangles and statement earrings. For smaller studs and huggies, it features a 28-hole earring card to keep each style on full display, as well as five snap tabs to keep your necklaces, chain bracelets, and rings secure. For those who don’t want to commit to a full-fledged organizer, Ziplocs or Stasher bags will do, so long as you're not packing pieces that could get tangled up.

How to clean jewelry on vacation

There are a few different options when it comes to cleaning your jewelry on (or after) a trip. If you want something a bit more tailored to high-end pieces, Jessica Kiraly , a PR luminary in the high jewelry industry with more than a decade of experience in the field, calls Diamond Drunk a luxe cleaning experience for fine jewelry that you can take with you on the go. Simply submerge pieces into a prepackaged detox solution before going to bed, then wake up to sparkling clean pieces. (The brand also suggests a ‘Quickie Dip’ option, which means dunking your jewelry for a few minutes before wiping them clean. This is particularly beneficial for more delicate items like rubies, sapphires, and solid gold watches.)

“For delicate or porous gemstones, such as pearls, coral, emeralds, opals, it's best to avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners,” Kim says. “Opt for a gentle wipe with a damp cloth instead.”

Lev, however, drops her pieces in a hotel room glass cup filled with warm soapy water while she’s getting ready, taking a soft-bristle toothbrush to rid the piece of any debris and oils that have accumulated throughout the day.

In terms of the types of jewelry that should be brought along on your travels, believe it or not, there is a right and wrong answer. Pieces made from materials like copper or nickel are susceptible to oxidation and tarnishing if exposed to moisture. So it’s best to stick with stainless steel, solid gold, platinum, and titanium items, especially if you’re looking to wear your favorite pieces while you’re away.

“While they have a higher price tag than gold plated, vermeil, or sterling silver pieces, they are going to withstand the elements (and daily life) much better because of their purity and durability,” Kiraly says.

“Diamonds are also another incredibly durable material,” Kiraly says. “In fact, they rate as a 10 on the Mohs scale , a gemstone measurement system used to rate the hardness of a material.”

While they’re much more durable and stable than an opal or an emerald, you still ought to proceed with caution when traveling with them. Lev says pieces with gemstones are more likely to fall apart while on vacation, given that the delicate prong settings can easily be damaged if not properly cared for. She suggests leaving your most valuable items at home if you can help it.

Alternatively, jewelry made from glass beads is a great option. This kind of style is quite easy to clean if tarnishing occurs, and generally has a low-stakes price point that means you won’t have to put pieces in the safe whenever you leave the room.

If you take Kiraly’s advice and decide to leave your precious pieces at home, ahead is a curated selection of travel-friendly jewelry—all of which are anti-tarnish or designed to be waterproof—to consider bringing along instead.

It’s almost anklet season and Miami-based brand Miansai’s classic herringbone chain is a wear-with-anything option that’s both delicate and durable.

Take the guesswork out of layering on your next trip with Artizan Joyeria’s pre-stacked sets. The tarnish-resistant pieces are great for warm-weather vacations .

Lisbon-based accessories brand Hey Harper is revered for its waterproof jewelry . Designed using a PVD (physical vapor deposition) coating process, each piece comes complete with a lifetime color warranty—that’s how strongly they stand by this technology.

Part of the latest collection from stylist Dani Michelle’s brand Mega, these stainless-steel high low earrings pair well with a swimsuit and won’t tarnish in humid air.

Both waterproof and hypoallergenic, Ellie Vail’s coil band is perfect for warm-weather travelers who don’t want to take off their rings at the beach.

If you’re feeling uneasy, consider skipping the metals all together and opt for glass bead jewelry instead. JB3’s newly launched charm bracelets are particularly great for stacking.

Tips for Traveling with Jewelry

In This Blog

It’s the time of year when many of us travel to visit family and friends to share the holidays. Whether you’re traveling on a flight, taking a road trip , traveling on a bus, taking a train or going on a cruise, y ou may be looking to bring some of your favorite fine jewelry pieces along.

We’ve curated some of our favorite tips and tricks for traveling with jewelry. Discover secrets on how to pack jewelry for travel, suggestions for which pieces to bring on your trip and advice on how to keep your jewelry safe when you’re traveling. 

Choosing Travel Jewelry Pieces

Packing your favorite women’s and men’s jewelry for your upcoming trip? It’s best to bring along items that are durable, such as 14k gold jewelry , platinum jewelry , silver jewelry or lab grown diamond jewelry . These materials are sturdy, bringing beautiful style no matter how far you’re taking them. 

Keep safety in mind when choosing which pieces to bring on a trip. Certain journeys and destinations may not be best for bringing your favorite fine jewelry along. In these instances, costume styles are often the best choice. 

How to Pack Jewelry

There are several ways to pack your jewelry, from specialized cases to more DIY approaches. Wh en packing your jewelry, regardless of which technique you choose, keeping things secure should be your main goal. This will ensure that you don’t lose any items during your travels, along with helping to prevent tangling.  

When packing jewelry, you should:  

• Use specialized storage, like a jewelry travel case.  
• Secure chains on necklaces and bracelets to avoid tangling.  
• Keep earring pairs together.  
• Separate fragile pieces, such as opals, from the rest of your jewelry.
• Put similar materials together.   
• Use tissue, straws or tape to secure thinner pieces.   

Some jewelry items, such as engagement rings , are worn throughout the whole trip and don’t need to be put in a travel jewelry case. If you’re packing an engagement ring in your luggage because you’re proposing on your trip, make sure to keep the ring in its original box and secure it in a locked section of your carry-on bag.  

Types of Travel Jewelry Cases

A travel jewelry case can help you keep your pieces organized, secured and safe while you’re headed to your destination. Many cases have specialized storage s ections for earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets. You can choose from smaller storage cases for a small selection, or a larger case that can fit multiple styles together.  

It’s best to choose the case that fits your collection. For people traveling with mainly bracelets or necklaces , this may look like a case with loops that secure the full length of each piece to prevent tangling. For those traveling with more rings or earrings , the right travel case is one with tightly packed rolls that can secure a set of dangling earrings or several rings. 

Most people who are traveling with jewelry choose to use a specialized jewelry travel case, with designs for all price points readily available online. Other people prefer to use the original packaging for their jewelry, which is especially helpful in instances where only one or two pieces are brought on a trip. 

DIY Jewelry Packing Hacks

While travel jewelry cases are the most popular fit for packing your jewelry, there are also DIY options that can help you bring your favorite pieces along. Pill cases, cardboard tubes, business cards, tins, straws and carabiners are all solutions for packing your jewelry.

You can count on virtually anything for earring storage when traveling. Push your favorite pairs into an eraser to keep them all in one place. To transport your earrings with their backings, pierce your sets through a business card or piece of construction paper to keep them together. Smaller studs can also be put in pill organizers or metal tins for easy travel storage. 

Necklaces and Bracelets

Pendant and chain necklaces require a little more planning if you’re taking the DIY route to packing them for travel. Keep your focus on preventing tangling so you can enjoy your jewelry at your destination. To keep chains from tangling, loop each necklace or bracelet through a straw and secure the clasp closed. 

You can also use a cardboard tube, such as one from a paper towel or toilet paper roll, to keep necklaces and bracelets organized when traveling. Loop necklaces through the length of the tube and wrap bracelets around the width.

Taking a DIY approach to organizing your rings while traveling? Use small storage such as pill organizers, tins or carabiners to keep them in order. Designs in similar metals can be stored together, but more fragile styles such as cocktail rings should be kept on their own.

Questions and Answers About Traveling with Jewelry

Yes, you can bring your jewelry on a plane. It’s best to keep your jewelry in your carry-on luggage so you can keep your eyes on it at all times.  

The choice of whether or not to travel with your jewelry is entirely yours. Consider the safety of your journey, the safety of your destination and your travel plans. It may not be wise to bring your jewelry to certain destinations. Additionally, if you’re planning a trip that focuses heavily on hiking, sailing or other intense outdoor activities, it may be best to leave your jewelry at home to prevent damage.

Travel Jewelry: What To Take and What Not To Take

When you’re traveling, you want to look good and feel good. (The two are probably related!) And you certainly don’t want the hassle of worrying about losing precious jewelry or making yourself a target for thieves.

A sobering survey  conducted by Jewelers Mutual Insurance Group found that 20 percent of travelers experienced a loss or theft of fine jewelry, with only one percent of them recovering the lost item(s).

There are some common sense tips you can take to safeguard precious jewelry. In addition, think carefully about whether it may be more prudent to travel with costume pieces that you don’t have to worry about.

13 common sense tips for traveling with precious jewelry

1-  Be strategic about deciding what to take and what to leave home, and keep a list of what you’ve taken.

2-  Leave flashy bling at home if you really don’t need to bring it.

3-  Think twice about bringing irreplaceable keepsake items on your trip (e.g., your mother’s cocktail ring or the diamond studs you received as a gift for your 40th birthday).

4-  If you decide to take precious jewelry with you, never pack it in your checked bag. Instead, tuck it in a zippered compartment in your purse so you can keep your eye on it.

5-  A compact jewelry case can protect fragile pieces from breakage and keep everything you’re bringing in one place.

6-  Be cautious about placing precious jewelry (or other valuables) inside cruise ship staterooms or hotel room safes. Many of these safes aren’t as secure as you might think. Moreover, you run the risk of forgetting to empty the safe when you leave. (Tip: Some people suggest putting one shoe of a pair in the safe to remind you to look there before you leave your room.)

7-  As a rule, it’s usually safer to wear jewelry than to stow it. But be aware of the location where you’re leaving it and the destination.

8-  Be especially cautious in crowds, when using public transportation, or at any places where you feel at high risk. 

9-  If you feel unsafe and are wearing precious jewelry, conceal your flashy diamond ring by turning it inside your hand so it isn’t visible, or tuck your fancy necklace under your sweater.

10- Be careful not to lose rings or other items at the beach or in the water. 

11- Don’t remove rings or watches when washing your hands, and inadvertently leave them on your hotel room sink or in a public restroom.

12- Be sure to check your homeowner’s policy and any insurance riders to make sure you are covered for loss or theft of jewelry and that the policies are up-to-date.

13- If you’re traveling with any precious pieces, take photos of them on your cellphone before leaving home. In the event of loss or theft, the photos could be useful for filing a police report or making an insurance claim.

What is travel jewelry? An elegant solution

Replacing precious with costume travel jewelry is an elegant solution. A few nice pieces, even if they are fake, can brighten up an outfit and put a bounce in your step.

While you’re shopping for yourself, remember that travel jewelry also makes a wonderful birthday or Bon Voyage gift for a friend or relative because it’s so personal, lightweight, and easy to pack.

Here are some tips for selecting travel jewelry:

1-   Try to stay under $100 when purchasing travel jewelry. Of course, losing anything on a trip makes you feel like kicking yourself. But you certainly don’t want to worry about losing something you can’t afford to lose.

2-   Keep all your costume jewelry pieces together, perhaps in a jewelry pouch or roll, so you can readily find what you want to wear.

3-   To simplify choosing and packing travel jewelry, stick to either silver or gold-toned pieces.

4-   Adding large statement pieces with splashes of color can liven up a dull outfit.

5-  Avoid heavy pieces that add weight to your carry-on or handbag.

6-  Remember to take off costume jewelry when you hit the beach or pool; sun, sand, and saltwater can shorten the life of these items.

7-  Handcrafted jewelry you find while traveling can make a wonderful souvenir to take home and add to your travel accessory wardrobe.

I wanted to expand on that to write a full article focused solely on travel jewelry, so here we go!

The majority of the items on our list are handmade or hand customized items, made by a single artist, family, or a small business. We love supporting these great individual artists and small businesses, and many of the jewelry pieces featured were inspired by the wanderlust and travels of the artists’ themselves!

But we have also included jewelry from national and international fine jewelry stores as well to provide a range of jewelry options. Prices of pieces on the list range from under $10 to over $500, with the vast majority of jewelry falling in the $25 to $75 range.

Great guide to so much travel themed jewelry, who knew there were so many options! I am wondering if you have any suggestions for anklets for a trendy young woman who loves to travel?

November 25, 2019 at 4:20 am

I would suggest something fairly simply like a nice chain with a compass, compass rose, globe, or airplane charm. For an anklet, especially if gifting, I’d recommend something made of either a fairly strong metal that doesn’t tarnish easily or a strong cord material as anklets can get a lot of wear and tear and are often more exposed to dirt/moisture than other types of jewelry. You can explore some options on Etsy here .

Hope that helps! Jessica

I like how comprehensive this guide is because it enumerated the perfect jewelry for each type of travel. Since my best friend is a big fan of jewelry and traveler herself, she wanted to buy additional pieces for her growing collection. I think I need to share this list with her so that she can check what type of jewelry will she be buying to help her save time and resources.

I really like that compass watch.

October 14, 2016 at 3:02 pm

Hi Richard, Yes, Laurence really loves the compass watch and has been wearing it everyday! The only downside is that it is difficult to tell the exact time as it just had the compass directions for 12, 3, 6, and 9, but the in between hours/minutes can be a bit trickier. But Laurence still loves wearing it. If you want a watch for both a cool accessory and to tell exact time, I would choose one of Carmen’s designs with numbers. You can also message Carmen as she may be able to do a compass design with numbers or have other suggestions; she is always adding new designs. ~ Jessica

I love the stuff you picked so much! This jewelry is a lot of fun, I am actually wearing a silver cuff with a map of the New York City subway system right now and I think I get more questions and compliments about it from strangers on the streetcar or at the grocery store than with anything else I ever wear. Travel jewelry is a great conversation starter.

October 14, 2016 at 11:35 am

Hi Marty – Yes, it is! Laurence has been wearing a few pieces as have I during our recent 6 weeks of travels and people often comment. A NYC subway map bracelet is a great idea as well – I think Doreen at Decemeber Moon Designs makes those on Etsy! Jessica

Katt Lewis Post author

October 13, 2016 at 5:11 am

I think the heart shaped world is the best and would be great if it were a set with earrings, necklace and bracelet or charm for bracelet.

October 13, 2016 at 7:32 am

Hi Katt, Yes, that is a nice pendant. Perfect for daily wear or even a wedding! Since the blue heart shaped world is a pendant you could buy multiple pendants and easily convert them into earrings, necklace, and a bracelet. You can also contact Kristen to see if she could do a custom order for you if you’d like the pieces made for you. Best, Jessica

I got the cuff links for my husband a couple of years ago because I thought they were so neat. I like the state outline idea, but I have to say that CT doesn’t have a very interesting state. Sort of makes me want to be from Texas:) The wristlet is something totally new to me – that is a great idea!

Hi Seana, Yes, Laurence loves his map cufflinks as well as the UK ones! Yes, some states definitely have better outlines (thinking Texas, Ohio, Florida…) haha. The wristlet is definitely a great idea for those who want to go handsfree and don’t need many items! ~ Jessica

What is real simple selects.

Stop tossing your favorite jewelry into a bag when you embark on a trip—it can quickly become tangled and scratched, damaging your most delicate pieces. A travel jewelry case solves this problem, offering a secure and stylish way to store your necklaces , earrings, and rings on the go. 

When it comes to buying a jewelry case for travel, look for well-constructed pieces that “have several compartments to keep the pieces from touching each other,” says Bennett Beutel , the product lead at Tiffany & Co. He adds that by separating the pieces, you can limit any damage that may occur from them bumping into each other. 

To find the best travel jewelry cases to suit every type of trip and traveler, we tested 25 options ranging in price and size and filled them with jewelry. We evaluated how easy they were to pack, how well they kept pieces in place, any notable organizational features, and their capacity. Whether you need to stash a few dainty necklaces or protect larger statement pieces, these cases will keep your jewelry in prime condition.

Best Overall Travel Jewelry Case

Mark & graham small travel jewelry case.

• Ease of Use 5 /5
• Capacity 5 /5
• Design 5 /5
• Performance 4.5 /5
• Value 4.5 /5

This jewelry case can be personalized and has a built-in mirror to use on the go.

We wish the dividers in the main compartment were removable to allow for larger pieces.

This small square case is available in a range of classic and vibrant shades, which you can monogram to add a personal touch (whether for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a jewelry-loving jet setter). It has a zip-around opening to glimpse all your pieces at once. Behind the handy built-in mirror, there are three hooks for necklaces or larger pieces—just note that it doesn’t keep them very secure. 

The main compartment is ideal for ring lovers, with space to hold seven rings in the center. We wish the surrounding small compartments had adjustable dividers to fit more of our favorite pieces. The case is sturdy and maintained its shape when we jostled it around, so we feel confident that it would protect our pieces even if it got squished in our suitcase.

Best Budget Travel Jewelry Case

Bagsmart jewelry organizer bag.

• Performance 5 /5

It has a convenient carrying handle and ample organizational features.

The panel for earrings is flimsy and can only accommodate hoops along the edges.

At almost 10 inches long, this jewelry case is impressively roomy, with plenty of space for your go-to pieces. It features five compartments: a ring band that snaps on and off, a panel for earrings, five straps to secure necklaces, a zippered pouch for storage, and a side zippered pocket.

For all of its convenient features, the handle was our favorite—we loved that we could carry it like a purse or toss it into our carry-on luggage . This case is lightweight and compact even when filled beyond the recommended capacity. While we struggled a bit with the earring panel, as the holes are very close together and can only accommodate hoops at the edges, the hardware was overall durable. 

Dimensions : 6.1 x 9.8 x 1.9 inches | Weight : 0.55 pounds | Storage Compartments : 5 | Material : Polyester

Best Large Travel Jewelry Case

Kendra scott medium travel jewelry case.

It’s spacious and easy to see all of your pieces at a glance.

There aren’t any hooks to hang necklaces from.

Crafted from high-quality PU leather, this elegant case features a removable zippered pouch and several sturdy and cushioned compartments to separate your jewelry, including a central section where you can safely secure rings and earrings. It’s simple and satisfying to pack—just drop your pieces into one of the compartments. 

The clutch-like rectangular shape makes this a bit bulky for a carry-on or weekender bag, but it’s a perfect companion for checked luggage. Since it’s easy to see your pieces on display once you open them, we like this for at-home storage, too. Our only gripe is that there isn’t dedicated necklace storage, but the compartments are large enough to store necklaces in individual pouches. 

Dimensions : 8 x 5.5 x 2.5 inches | Storage Compartments : 6 | Material : PU leather, polyester

Best Small Travel Jewelry Case

Vee & co. small travel jewelry case.

Despite its compact size, this case has a section to store every type of jewelry.

The included display mirror doesn't feel durable.

Travelers will love this case for its extensive organizational compartments, which give every piece its place to minimize scratching and tangling. We like the six plush ring pillows, three necklace hooks, and a built-in earring panel that borders the included mirror, but our favorite feature is the two removable dividers that you can adjust to accommodate delicate or chunky jewelry. The mirror is another convenient addition to this compact case, allowing you to try on different pieces or do your makeup—however, it seems less durable than the rest of the case. 

Dimensions : 3.9 x 3.9 x 1.9 inches | Weight : 0.37 pounds | Storage Compartments : 6 | Material : Vegan leather, velvet

Best Round Travel Jewelry Case

Cuyana travel jewelry case.

The detachable earrings bar is perfect for dangling or hoop earrings.

There aren’t any individual hoops for necklaces, and storing them on the provided detachable bar can lead to tangles.

Toss this pretty, petite pouch into your bag or jacket pocket for your next adventure, whether you're road-tripping or hopping on an international flight. It’s palm-sized and convenient to carry thanks to its ergonomic design, and the soft suede interior will keep your pieces protected on the go.

While there are only a few compartments—two small pouches, plus a detachable bar to store your favorite earrings and another for rings or necklaces—we found we could fit several pairs of earrings, a few necklaces, and nine (yes, nine!) rings, among other small pieces of jewelry. Light packers will love that this space-saving pick weighs less than half a pound and allows you to customize the design, as you can remove the earring and ring bar to free up space for larger pieces.

Dimensions : 1.25 x 5 x 3.5 inches | Weight : 0.33 pounds | Storage Compartments : 4 | Material : Leather, suede

Best Travel Jewelry Case for Maximalists

Calpak jewelry case.

• Ease of Use 4.5 /5

The generously-sized drawstring offers enough space to store larger pieces, plus it has mini pockets on the inside.

It’s bulky and may be better suited to longer trips than weekend getaways.

Famous for its reliable, attractive luggage and travel accessories, Calpak is a go-to brand for frequent flyers—and this jewelry case is no exception. Jewelry lovers will rejoice at the sight of the drawstring pouch, which features ample space for statement bracelets, necklaces, chunky earrings, or watches. We love that it also has small pockets folded in, which helps to reduce any possible scratching and to maximize the space. 

This large case has enough room to hold several rings on the snap-off ring bar and four necklaces on the detachable hooks—there's even a sturdy earring card ideal for studs and small hoops. Those who don't want to leave their favorite eye-catching pieces at home will appreciate carrying jewelry in this durable, faux-leather case. 

Dimensions : 7 x 5 x 2.5 inches | Weight : 0.9 pounds | Storage Compartments : 6 | Material : PU leather, polyester, ABS

Best Travel Jewelry Case for Minimalists

Levenger mini jewelry organizer.

• Capacity 4.5 /5

This compact pick has necklace hooks, an earring and ring bar, and a zippered pouch, making it perfect for just the essentials.

The earring bar isn’t spaced far enough apart for wider studs.

Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, this ultra-lightweight and dainty case is ideal for anyone looking to keep a few favorite pieces from tangling or scratching without adding any bulk to their compact carry-on . Perfect for short trips or minimalists, this mini organizer has two hooks and a catchall pouch for necklaces, a small zippered pouch for bracelets or large earrings, a tiny removable ring bar, and a detachable earring bar that can fit two pairs of smaller earrings.

While we wish the stud holes were farther apart (you can only fit dainty studs or one pair of chunkier earrings), we could store larger hoops in the pouch. It comes in five colorful styles, and we found the leather exterior soft and scratch-resistant, while the suede interior helped protect our pieces. 

Dimensions : 4.25 x 1 x 4.5 inches | Weight : 0.25 pounds | Storage Compartments : 3 | Material : Pebbled leather, microsuede

• Despite its small size, this case has room for all types of jewelry, including rings and earrings. PHOTO: Real Simple / Joy Kim
• The center pouch keeps bracelets and larger earrings contained. PHOTO: Real Simple / Joy Kim
• The pouch makes this jewelry case even more versatile, as many smaller cases don’t have something similar. PHOTO: Real Simple / Joy Kim
• The microsuede lining and gold hardware give this jewelry case a high-end feel. PHOTO: Real Simple / Joy Kim
• The best part? It’s small enough to fit in a suitcase, backpack, or purse to make traveling with jewelry easier. PHOTO: Real Simple / Joy Kim

The Mark & Graham Small Travel Jewelry Case is our top pick thanks to its stylish and sturdy construction, handy mirror, and how well it kept our jewelry secure when we jostled it around during testing. If you're shopping on a budget, opt for the Bagsmart Jewelry Organizer Bag , which has five compartments for all your favorite pieces.

We tested 25 portable jewelry cases for this article, packing up each piece with the same array of jewelry—three necklaces, four earrings, three rings, two bracelets, and one watch—noting if it all fit or if we could comfortably add in even more pieces. 

Next, we tested for durability and protective features by vigorously shaking the cases and throwing them up in the air and onto the ground, checking to see how securely they kept our pieces in place and whether anything became broken or tangled in the process. 

Finally, we evaluated how easy it was to load pieces into the case or remove them, particularly regarding detachable ring rods and earring posters. The jewelry cases that scored the highest across our categories—ease of use, capacity, design, performance, and overall value—earned a spot on this list. 

How to Shop for a Travel Jewelry Case Like a Pro

Depending on the type of jewelry you wear and the trips you expect to take, compare different case types to find the best pick for you. For short weekend trips, a small palm-sized piece should suffice. But if you're spending weeks abroad, you may need a large-capacity jewelry travel case with more organizational features. 

If you have a lot of jewelry or prefer bigger pieces, opt for a case with plenty of compartments. For instance, those who frequently wear hoops might find that a small earring placard designed for studs won’t suffice—you’ll want ample pouches or zippered pockets that could hold your go-to earrings.

If you tend to travel with just the essentials—maybe a few dainty rings, thin necklaces, and small stud or hoop earrings—then a smaller case like the Levenger Carrie Mini Jewelry Organizer will do the trick. For statement jewelry lovers, a larger case like the Kendra Scott Medium Travel Jewelry Case can properly store your hefty pieces.

Storage Compartments

The best jewelry travel cases “have several compartments to keep the pieces from touching each other and to limit as much scratching as possible,” says Beutel. There are several compartment types too, including pockets, pouches, necklace hooks, ring pillows, and more. If you wear a lot of rings, consider a ring pillow or ring bar—the former allows you to remove them individually, while the latter requires you to remove the bar and the rings on it to select the one you want. 

Beutel recommends cases with a hearty, protective exterior—think leather or PU leather—which will keep your jewelry safe in your bag even if it gets tossed around at baggage claim. For the interior, he prefers suede lining, as it’s non-abrasive and prevents scratching or dulling.

More Jewelry Cases for Travel to Consider

Mejuri Travel Case : Mejuri is best known for its dainty, everyday jewelry—and that’s what this tiny, trendy case is designed for. It’s great for minimalists and we love the streamlined design, but the price tag seemed too high for how little space it offers (there’s only room for four necklaces, three pairs of studs, and a few slim rings). 

Bagsmart Jewelry Organizer Roll : This budget-friendly soft-sided case boasts a range of compartments to keep jewelry organized and can accommodate quite a range of pieces, but inherently offers less protection than a sturdy leather case. The inner material is also far less soft than the suede lining. 

Questions You Might Ask

Is it ok to store all your jewelry together when traveling.

“From an organizational perspective, it’s definitely a good idea to have all your jewelry in the same place,” says Beutel, however, “every piece should be separated to a certain degree to avoid any potential scratching.”

Look for cases with hooks for necklaces, pillows or rods for rings, and small compartments or pouches for other large pieces to ensure everything has a designated place.

Can you use a jewelry travel case for everyday storage?

At home, keeping your pieces in their original packaging is preferred. “In an ideal world, one would pack their pieces in the original cases, but of course, that’s normally tough to do traveling,” Beutel says.

However, many travel cases can store your essential pieces at home and on the go, reducing the need to pack and unpack between trips. For extensive jewelry collections or statement pieces, consider a larger storage option designed for everyday use, which can typically accommodate and display more jewelry.

What are some alternatives to travel jewelry cases?

If you can't get your hands on a travel jewelry case before your trip, Beutel suggests rolling your jewelry in a soft cloth. “Nothing abrasive like wool or canvas," he says. "A hand towel or a shirt works wonders.” While these won’t provide as much protection for your pieces as a proper case, they can help prevent your pieces from getting damaged while in transit.

This article was written by Sophie Dodd , a contributing writer for Real Simple who covers travel, lifestyle, and home goods. To write this article, she evaluated our test results, which reflected our experiences with the jewelry cases after packing them with a range of pieces, tossing them around, and exploring how easy or tedious it was to put in and take out different pieces. She also spoke with Bennett Beutel , a product lead at Tiffany’s Jewelry Design and Innovation Workshop , about what to look for when shopping for travel jewelry cases and how to protect your pieces on the go.

Add some tangle-free solutions to your luggage

Traveling with jewelry is always a bother. Necklace stacks easily become a tangled mess in security lines, or in the packing cubes of carry-on bags. It’s hard to not only store your favorite earrings and rings but also secure them, so you don’t lose your most prized possessions while away from home. The best way to insure that doesn’t happen is simply to invest in a travel jewelry case—something you’ve probably told yourself you’d buy multiple times but just haven’t gotten around to yet. “Working across the jewelry industry, I’ve gotten used to being on the move with jewelry in tow,” Abigail Donaldson, content and project manager at De Beers Group , tells Bazaar . “Whether it’s hand-carrying one-of-a-kind pieces to a cover shoot, traveling with samples for a special project, or packing vintage finds from a trip abroad with loved ones, I’ve come to learn the importance of keeping jewelry safe in transit.” Donaldson’s solution? Travel jewelry cases. “My mom always told me traveling with jewelry is safest when it’s as close to you as possible, either on your body or in your carry-on,” Donaldson says. “If you plan to bring multiple pieces on a trip, a good case is so important for keeping everything secure and intact.” If you haven’t shopped for a case before or are simply looking to upgrade, she recommends a few key essentials to ensure the best fit. “The fundamentals are portable size, separate compartments to prevent tangling, a bright color which is easy to spot, hard case exterior in a durable material, soft protective interior to prevent scratches, and a good quality fastening to keep everything secure,” she says. “Then, of course, creative details and a style which speaks to you make the purchase fun and personal.” The destination can also dictate the jewelry case you will be using. “For a short or weekend trip with a carry-on , I would recommend keeping your jewelry case in a zippered or otherwise secure handbag, like you do with a wallet or passport,” Donaldson says. “Jewelry has huge sentimental value for many people, so to avoid heartbreak I wouldn’t risk leaving it in checked baggage for the airline to lose!” And if you are traveling with fine jewelry, Donaldson recommends designs that are rectangular or box-shaped, which will stack well with other items in a small hotel safe. Below, the 21 best travel jewelry cases to shop now—including some of Donaldson’s personal favorites.

Our Testing Process

• Why Trust T+L

Traveling with jewelry can be risky business, so it’s important to pack your accessories thoughtfully. Sure, you can always use Ziploc baggies and tissue paper, but the easiest and safest way to keep your jewelry safe is by using a handy travel-size jewelry case.

Since travel jewelry cases come in all different shapes and sizes, we tried 25 options from trusted luggage and jewelry brands. After loading the cases up with jewelry, we tossed, dropped, and shook them to see how safe the jewelry would be in situations like traveling where rough handling can be expected. From testing, we selected the winning jewelry cases that will keep your jewelry safe and organized whether you’re a jewelry minimalist or maximalist.

Best Sustainable: Paravel Jewelry Case

The small, oval container is the perfect size for a weekend getaway.

It could use a few more organizational features.

Cuyana’s oval-shaped case is deceptively spacious in comparison to its smaller design. Perfect for minimalist jewelry wearers, the interior has plenty of room and designated spots for several rings and earrings, but there aren’t specific latches for necklaces or bracelets. The two slip pockets on each side of the case can hold bigger or longer pieces of jewelry, but they run the risk of getting tangled without a latch so we wish the organization was a bit better. Made with genuine leather, the case has a protective exterior with a soft suede interior to further guard the jewelry against scratching or other damage. Throughout six months of tests, we loved this case for weekend getaways and longer trips alike and found it to be the perfect size to toss in a backpack or personal item.

The bag is spacious yet compact and comes with a handle to carry it easily.

The quality feels a bit lower than other cases we tried.

Designed similarly to a toiletry bag, we love that this wallet-friendly jewelry case comes with a top handle to transport it to and from a suitcase with ease. The compact bag is also a great deal considering how much jewelry it can hold while still being easy to pack. The polyester material is protective and flexible so the bag can pack down to a smaller size depending on how much jewelry is inside. The interior has an earring panel, ring bands, necklace clips, and various zippered pockets for storing all of the jewelry you want to pack for a trip. While we didn’t notice any issues with quality during testing, the materials feel less durable than other pricier cases we tried. We tossed the packed jewelry case around a bit during our tests and the items remained perfectly safe without any tangling or damage. Even after traveling with the case on seven flights, trains, and throughout more than four roadtrips during our six months of tests, nothing became tangled and the case is proving to be durable and sturdy.

Best Roll-up: Bagsmart Peri Folding Jewelry Organizer

The compartments roll out, which makes it easier to pack jewelry.

It was slightly difficult to put the earrings on the designated card.

Bagsmart impressed us a second time with their roll-up jewelry organizer, which was the easiest bag to pack with jewelry during testing. After six months of use, we love that it can fit a lot of jewelry and has compartments big enough for even the biggest hoops and other dramatic earrings. The envelope-style case unrolls and lies flat so you can easily see all of the pockets, latches, and hooks for storing every piece of jewelry you could ever need for traveling thanks to the larger capacity. We had some slight difficulty getting earrings into the holes in the earring card, but it was just a minor inconvenience, and there are plenty of other spots to place hoops and studs. Made with cotton fabric, the case may feel a bit flimsy, but is soft and protective, and it’s very compact since it can lie fairly flat even after it’s packed with jewelry.

The Details: Cotton | 9.06 x 6.3 x 5.75 inches

Mark & Graham

It comes in 28 color and pattern options — plus it's monogrammable.

After six months of using the case, we wish it had more space for necklaces, bracelets, and larger earrings.

Looking for the perfect gift for a traveler? You can monogram this Mark & Graham jewelry case with up to three letters for a personalized touch that makes the gift all the more thoughtful. The square-shaped case has a sturdy exterior that feels like it will hold up perfectly in a packed carry-on and the pebbled vegan leather gives the box a sophisticated look while sitting on a desk or dresser. The interior is split into two sections with a mirror divider to separate the box, which makes it slightly difficult to fit larger jewelry pieces like a watch or chunky necklace, but after six months of testing, we did like that the separate sections help you access all your items without spilling everything out. We also love that there are tons of ring pillow slots so if you’re a big ring wearer, this jewelry case is an excellent option. In addition, there are several necklace or earring latches as well as a slip pocket and sections for bracelets or broaches.

The Details: Vegan leather, linen | 4.5 x 4.5 x 2.25 inches

Kendra Scott

The large size of this jewelry box makes it useful for heavy packers or at-home use.

It doesn’t have any necklace hooks.

Jewelry maximalists will appreciate the bigger size of Kendra Scott’s jewelry case. It looks like a traditional jewelry box that sits on a dresser, but it’s also very portable thanks to its lightweight materials and design. The interior has four large compartments to easily drop in bracelets, necklaces, or watches without any hassle and there are over 10 ring pillow slots for rings or earrings. To keep all the packed jewelry safe, the case comes with a divider to prevent items from jostling around on the go. The case also comes with a small matching zippered pouch that you can keep in the box or remove for extra storage. We found this separate pouch to be perfect for use on shorter trips when you may not need to bring the full case. While we wish the box had a few more organizational features like necklace hooks or earring holes, the jewelry remained perfectly intact after we shook it around, so we’re confident that the box keeps items safely tucked away. Plus, after six months of use, the stylish case still looks new and is a great option for home storage, too.

The Details: Polyurethane, polyester | 8 x 5.5 x 2.5 inches

After six months of traveling with this case, not one necklace became tangled thanks to the plentiful hooks.

We wish it had more storage options for studs.

If you’re embarking on an international trip that includes a checked bag, we recommend this jewelry case from Calpak to weather the journey. Since the rectangular jewelry case is bigger, it can easily store enough jewelry for several weeks of traveling. The structured design makes it ultra-durable and our favorite part is that it has a built-in drawstring bag that does an excellent job of keeping bracelets, watches, or earrings safely secured in the bottom section of the jewelry case. The top part has a variety of necklace latches and a ring holder for even more security. When we rigorously shook the container, none of the jewelry budged from its original spots, so we feel confident that this case will protect your valuables in a checked bag with no issues.

The Details: Faux leather, faux suede | 7 x 5 x 2.5 inches

The square-shaped box is small enough to easily fit in a carry-on or backpack.

The jewelry might scratch up the mirror on the divider.

The lower price and superior functionality make this petite jewelry case an excellent option for anyone looking for a place to store their accessories. It’s smaller than a lot of the options we tested, so we think it’s ideal for travelers needing to save space in a backpack or suitcase. Despite its compact stature, this jewelry box can fit tons of jewelry from studs to a leather watch. It’s intuitive to pack the case with rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more since there are designated latches, slots, and compartments for virtually everything. When we shook the case, all of the jewelry remained packed away in its original spot without any damage occurring. The box has a divider with a mirror on one side and our only worry is that the mirror could get scratched by the metals or vice-versa, so you may want to put a small piece of fabric between the mirror just in case.

The Details: PU vegan leather | 3.94 x 3.94 x 1.97 inches

Best for Everyday Use: Levenger Carrie Mini Jewelry Organizer

The small design makes it easy to store the case in a purse.

It can’t fit large jewelry pieces.

Jewelry minimalists will love this tiny jewelry case for keeping track of just a few pieces of jewelry while on the go. After six months of use, we love that this Levenger mini jewelry case has latches, hooks, and pockets to protect and organize rings, bracelets, and necklaces. It is on the small side with minimum space for studs, but light packers will appreciate the hard, durable exterior that still looks new after six months. The genuine leather exterior and suede interior feels luxurious and looks elegant, so this also makes a great jewelry case for newlyweds going on a honeymoon . We especially love the tiny zippered pocket in the middle of the case for storing extra small jewelry items like studs or stacking rings.

The Details: Leather, microsuede | 4.25  x 4.5 x 1 inches

All of the materials used to make this case are recycled.

The organizational features could be better and, after six months of use, we think it's a bit too large to pack in a carry-on.

Paravel is one of our favorite luggage brands , so we’re pleased to report that its jewelry case impressed us, too. The circular case is made entirely of recycled materials from post-consumer plastic water bottles and upcycled zippers to create an eco-friendly accessory for travel. Besides the sustainability factor, the case comes with a large drawstring pouch that makes it easy to drop in larger pieces of jewelry like bracelets or watches. The top flap of the case has a ring holder and earring post to store smaller pieces of jewelry, but we wish there were a few more organization features like necklace latches or zippered pockets. However, we love the vintage-style design and, like most Paravel bags, you can monogram the case with initials for a special touch.

The Details: Recycled canvas, vegan leather | 5.6 x 3.6 inches

Other Travel Jewelry Cases We Liked

The jewelry cases below get an honorable mention since they still performed well in testing, but fell slightly short compared to our top performers.

Benevolence Plush Velvet Travel Jewelry Box Organizer : This jewelry box can fit a ton of items, but you’ll want to make sure everything is secure before traveling since we noticed most of the jewelry became dislodged during testing.

Mejuri Travel Case : The case looks elegant and sleek on the outside, but the interior doesn’t offer much in the organizational department, so it’s best for minimalist travelers.

After thoroughly researching jewelry cases from trusted brands, we selected 25 options to first test out in our New York City lab. We packed each case with every type of jewelry you can think of, including rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, watches, and more to get a feel for the usefulness of the organization features. Then, we tossed, dropped, and shook the cases (think Kourtney Kardashian level of salad bowl shaking) to see if the jewelry remained safely secured in place or if the pieces moved around. We also examined the cases for any scuffing or damage.

Watch Us Test the Best Travel Jewelry Cases

With our lab testing portion complete, we then rated the jewelry cases based on ease of use, capacity, design, and quality to determine the winners. We continued to test the jewelry cases for an additional six months so we could see how each one performed while traveling in a more natural setting after the lab testing, and then added those insights.

Tips for Buying a Jewelry Case

Buy the right size case for your needs.

First, you’ll want to think about how much jewelry you travel with to determine the best size for your needs. For those who travel with bigger pieces of jewelry like watches or chunky necklaces, consider getting a more structured case with large compartments. Delicate or minimalist jewelry will pack better in an envelope or binder style of jewelry case. And if your jewelry collection consists of just a few pieces, opt for a mini jewelry case to save space in your luggage.

Consider organization

Most jewelry cases come with latches, hooks, pockets, and pillows to hold pretty much any piece of jewelry you can think of. Like other types of travel organizers , some jewelry cases are more barebones than others, so you’ll want to buy a case according to your organization preferences or based on the type of jewelry you travel most with. If most of your jewelry consists of earrings, be sure to get a box that has pockets and hole cards with spots for hoops, studs, and dangling earrings.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best way to keep your jewelry safe and organized is to use a jewelry case. The best thing about travel jewelry cases is that they often come with designated slots for all types of accessories to make packing intuitive and quick. If you want to add an extra layer of protection, you can always place tissue or fabric between your jewelry to prevent the pieces from rubbing against one another in transit.

Once your jewelry is packed into the case, we recommend placing the jewelry case between soft clothing for safekeeping or in a personal item in case you have to gate-check your bag when flying. It can be risky to place a jewelry case in a checked bag since you may run the risk of the bag getting lost, but it depends on your comfort level for flying with potentially valuable items.

Getting ready for your next vacation?

Don't want to leave your jewelry behind?

Traveling with jewelry can create a lot of headaches if you don't do it right. Before you leave for your trip, you need to think long and hard about your jewelry and decide how you're going to keep your favorite items safe while on the road.

Problems With Traveling With Jewelry

There are many common problems that come with traveling with jewelry. While it can be great to have your favorite pieces of jewelry with you for your once in a lifetime travel experience, there are few reasons that it can be particularly difficult.

Below are some of the main problems you'll face when traveling with jewelry:

• You might lose important pieces of jewelry while traveling. This jewelry might have been very expensive or have sentimental value.
• When carried in your luggage haphazardly, your necklaces and other types of jewelry may become disorganized and get tangled or knotted up.
• It can be difficult to keep track of your jewelry effectively when you are traveling, whether you are on the plane, in the hotel room, or beyond.
• Wearing jewelry can attract the wrong kind of attention, in the form of pickpockets and thieves.

Below we'll tell you exactly what you need to know when traveling with jewelry, so you can avoid all of these problems.

1. You Need to Know What Jewelry to Bring With You

While you may feel like you need some of your more expensive pieces with you when traveling, you may want to think twice. It may be in your best interest to leave your most expensive and sentimental pieces of jewelry at home.

When you look through your jewelry and are deciding what to bring, you need to be realistic about your needs for the trip. Decide what you will need your jewelry for and when you will be wearing it.

Will you spend lazy days under a palm tree on the beach? Or will you be attending exquisite dinners? Will you be attending a business function or a wedding?

Be realistic about what you need on your trip and what your trip will entail. Only bring what you need. Bringing stud, hoop, and dangle earrings, pendants, a few bracelets, and a watch will offer a lot of versatility an may be all you really need to   coordinate with your outfit   while traveling.

2. You Can Use a Wedding Finger Alternative

If you're going on a trip, you need to have a plan for protecting that special ring on your finger. It may be the best decision to leave your wedding band and engagement rings at home in order to avoid problems.

Losing or misplacing your wedding ring can particularly be a risk if you'll be in the outdoors camping or going out into the wilderness during your trip. Bridal sets and rings can easily get lost in the woods during a hike or while swimming.

Additionally, wedding rings that are particularly alluring can also attract the wrong kind of attention to you in the form of thieves and pickpockets.

As a solution, you may choose to use a cheaper wedding band that is set aside specifically for travel. Having a good stand-in wedding band or   placeholder engagement ring   on your trip can be an excellent idea and will help you to breathe easier while on the go.

3. You Need to Pack Your Jewelry Right

When it comes to the jewelry that you do decide to take with you while traveling, there are good ways and bad ways to pack it up in your suitcase.

Here are a few items and tips that will allow you to pack up your jewelry with minimal hassle:

• Jewelry Travel Case:   You might consider a jewelry travel case or jewelry roll if you travel often and want a convenient way to carry and protect your jewelry
• Pearl Folder:   A pearl folder can be great for protecting necklaces, pearls, and other large pieces of jewelry from scratches and abrasions.
• Jewelry Pouches:   Jewelry pouches can be great for carrying earrings and pendants.
• Straws:   You can use straws to pack your chain necklaces up and keep them untangled. To do this, place half of the necklace into a drinking straw and then hook the clasp
• A Pill Box:   A seven-day pillbox can serve a great double purpose as a jewelry carrier, ideal for individual earrings, rings, smaller necklaces, and bracelets.

4. You Should Keep it Close At All Times

When you are traveling you need to be sure to keep your jewelry close to you and well-protected at all times.

When flying, it's important that you take your jewelry in the carry-on. You may also consider wearing your jewelry while on the plane to keep it extra secure.

Be sure to never carry important pieces of jewelry in your checked baggage. Checked baggage is at a greater risk of getting lost in transport.

Additionally, while in an airport terminal or elsewhere, be sure to never leave your jewelry unattended in a suitcase or bag. Always carry your jewelry personally, don't let hotel staff carry a bag with jewelry in it, and always be aware.

It can be a nightmare to check your bag during your trip only to find that your favorite jewelry has gone missing, so make sure to be careful when traveling and always be on the lookout.

5. Consider Jewelry Insurance

Many homeowners and renter's insurance policies automatically cover some amount of jewelry loss. However, you need to do your due diligence and determine if this is the case.

If not, or if you are traveling with very expensive items, you may want to look into getting a separate   jewelry insurance   policy specifically for your jewelry. Discuss it over with your insurance agent to determine what choices you have and what will best meet your needs when it comes to traveling with jewelry.

Additionally, be sure to take a photograph of your jewelry before leaving on your trip. You can then save the images on your phone, on your home computer, or even on a cloud service such as Google Drive.

In the case that a piece of jewelry is stolen or goes missing this will be a lot of help when working with insurance agents and hotel staff to find it again.

6. Keep Your Jewelry Secure After Arriving

When you are on a vacation or traveling, you need to keep your jewelry safe at all times. Chances are that your hotel will provide some accommodations for protecting your jewelry when not wearing it.

Hiding it in your luggage isn't a good idea. Many hotels will have a safe that you can use in your room to place important items, so make use of this when your jewelry isn't needed.

In addition to the features of your room, many of the better hotels will have other security services. They may be able to hold your jewelry in a hotel safe or safe-deposit box.

Consider contacting your hotel ahead of time if you will be traveling with expensive items. The hotel might charge a fee for high-security services, but it may be well worth it if you are traveling with jewelry that you don't want to lose.

Final Thoughts

While it may be difficult to leave your favorite jewelry behind or to prepare a little extra, it beats losing your jewelry on what should have been an enjoyable trip. By considering the tips above and thinking it through beforehand, you'll have the best chance of having a smooth trip.

How to Travel with Jewelry – 3 Things to Consider

Destination.

One of the main things to consider when planning how to travel with jewelry is your destination. Have you researched the safety warnings for the city or country in which you’ll be traveling?

Some destinations are notorious for pickpockets and theft. Madrid, for example, has a reputation for high reports of theft. “Google” your destination and review the government safety warnings prior to traveling.

Accomodation

The type of accommodation in which you’ll be staying is also a factor when considering how to travel with jewelry. Are you staying at 5 star hotels, vacation rentals, or hostels?

Determine if your accommodation has a safe or lockers where you can safely store your valuables. Please read How to keep your Passport Safe for additional tips.

As with planning your capsule travel wardrobe, considering your planned activities is one of the major influencers in how and what you pack. Are your travels based on sightseeing, action sports, or other leisurely experiences?

While your jewelry may remain safely on your body while visiting the Eiffel Tower, it may be more at risk with an activity such as scuba diving in Thailand. Review your travel itinerary to help you decide if traveling with jewelry is a do or don’t.

 Additional Tips for Traveling with Jewelry

• If you have a valuable or ornate ring, you may want to turn it over in certain destinations so it looks like a wedding band drawing less attention to you. As legendary solo female traveler Evelyn Hannon recommends: travel to see not be seen .
• An alternative place to wear a valuable memento is on a necklace chain. Keep it close to you but hidden
• In certain  destinations such as India, solo female travelers are encouraged to wear a wedding band to discourage unwanted suitors. Whether costume if your single or real if you’re married, plan to pack a wedding band if traveling alone .
• If you decide to leave your jewelry at home, bring along costume jewelry instead. Even one set of jewelry can transform a basic outfit from boring to fashionista.
• If you decide on traveling with jewelry, consider using protective casing during transport and never place it in checked luggage . Always wear it or place it in your carry-on.
• Consider purchasing insurance for fine jewelry such as Perfect Circle Jewelry Insurance . They offer worldwide protection, which includes repair for damage or replacements. Their coverage includes loss, theft, damage or mysterious disappearance.  I priced out an item with a $1000 value and got an estimate of only $25 a year for coverage. This is way more affordable than I ever imagined and a small price to pay for the safety of a priceless item – a new engagement ring for example (hint-hint).

I would love to wear these earrings on my upcoming trip to Europe! They are a beautiful and versatile design.

I would wear these to my trip to England!

Great looking pair of earrings. I am in search of a great pair of silver earrings for my travels.

Oh, these earrings are beautiful! I would travel with them to Turkey, with my hair pulled into a soft bun so that the sparkle of the earrings would show. Love them!

A good pair of earrings is hard to find because of my allergies. These look wonderful!

Where would I travel with those beautiful earrings? I think a 3 week holiday in Australia with those would be just perfect!! 🙂

I would have worn these to Istanbul and Greece, next up would be NYC!

Great advice. Thanks for sharing

I would wear these to Italy during my upcoming adventure.

To Boston from California, and my “bling” stays “home safe”

I would take these earrings to Italy! They would go with everything!

Definitely a good idea to keep it minimal. =) Cute giveaway earrings!

I usually bring minimal jewellery with me. Costume jewellery is best.

I would travel to Paris!

I’d travel to cape cod or Martha’s Vineyard!

I would wear these on a vacation to Ireland!

Great post! I love knowing about an inexpensive option for jewelry insurance. Where would I travel with these earrings? For starters, back home for a high school reunion! But probably all over the place!

I would wear these earrings to London – for touring around stylishly and going to a wedding!

On a previous backpacking trip in Europe, I wore a fake wedding band to deter unwanted attention. It had the OPPOSITE effect. These men would inquire about my “husband”, etc. I got the impression that since the husband isn’t physically around, that they thought I would be inclined for an affair. I had to take off the wedding band, the situations were so bad.

I’d wear these earrings throughout Prague. Then as I climb El Morro in Monte Cristi, Dominican Republic. And then again around the campus of Universidad de las Americas Puebla in Cholula, Puebla, Mexico. I love the design…they are simple, around the world stylish!

This is awesome. We’re moving to England at the end of the year and the thought of traveling with all of my husband and I’s jewelry is terrifying.

Classic advice as usual!

Good information.

I have a couple of trips planned for Europe, specifically Norway and Italy, where I would wear these earrings!

I’ve been looking for a low cost insurance policy for my jewelry! Thanks for sharing!

I never really thought about this. Thanks foe the tips!

This is so helpful! I am always so afraid of losing jewelry while traveling. I narrowed down my jewelry packing list to four main pieces that I almost always bring with me: http://www.thebellevoyage.com/?p=150 this combo seems to work well! -Jessica

I never travel with expensive jewelry. There is so much more variety in costume jewelry now that you don’t have to spend a lot to look great!

Need them for Germany. They are versatile and that’s what I need.

Love it! I don’t have any expensive jewelry, but I do have some sentimental pieces that cannot be replaced. They look relatively plain, so I’m not sure whether I should leave them at home or bring them with me (as I normally wear them everyday). I’d love to see a post about how you store your jewelry when you travel!

I only travel with costume jewelry & pieces I would not be worried about losing. All the good stuff stays at home!

The Best Travel Jewelry Cases Byrdie Editors Never Pack Without

Why Trust Byrdie

Byrdie / Kristin Kempa

The last thing anyone wants to do while getting ready (especially on vacation) is spending time untangling a necklace . If you don’t have a well-organized travel jewelry case, chances are you find yourself in this situation more often than not. Since jewelry is an important part of a travel capsule wardrobe , it's just as important to invest in a quality jewelry case that'll keep your precious pieces protected and organized.

We put more than two dozen to the test to find the best option for you, evaluating each one based on its design, capacity, ease of use, performance, and value. We filled them up with a variety of jewelry, shook them around to see how the contents held up and tested what’s it like to use them. From affordable and compact options to personalized picks and more, we’re rounding up the travel jewelry cases that impressed us the most, and therefore, we believe are worth your money.

Best Overall

Calpak jewelry case.

Material: Faux leather and faux suede | Dimensions: 7" x 5" x 2.5" | Color Options: Black, Caramel + more

If minimalism is not your M.O. when it comes to jewelry, this travel case is for you. It comes with tons of storage options—from necklace hooks and a 28-hole earring card to a ring rod and a large pouch lined with pockets. You can take multiple pieces of each jewelry type with you, and we love that the large drawstring bag attached to the case is lined with pockets for extra storage and organization. We found that it was easy to pack and unpack, and everything remained in place when we shook it around. Though we wish it was a bit slimmer for more compact and lightweight packing, the design is pleasing and functional, and it’s not overly heavy. An added bonus is that it comes in neutral shades and limited-edition pops of color.

Best for Short Trips

Cuyana travel jewelry case.

Material: Italian pebbled leather and suede | Dimensions: H 1.25" x W 5" x D 3.5" | Color Options: Black, Soft Rose + more

When we first got our hands on it, we didn’t imagine that such a small case would be all that useful—but we were wrong. The compact design isn’t just chic and adorable, but it’s also quite functional for storing a few pieces of jewelry for a quick trip. It has detachable ring and earring holders (which makes putting jewels in and taking them out fast and easy), as well as two pockets to hold bracelets or other pieces. The ring rod can also be used to hang necklaces, though we do wish it provided necklace storage that was a bit better at keeping them in place. Overall, it’s compact and well-designed, and the leather and suede materials feel smooth and durable.

Best for Everyday Pieces

Levenger mini jewelry organizer.

Material: Pebbled leather | Dimensions: 4 ¼" W x 1" D x 4 ½" H | Color Options: Grape, Chilli Pepper + more

If you’re someone that doesn’t stray from your go-to jewelry pieces, there’s no need to add bulk to your bag by getting a large jewelry case. This one is perfect for minimalists because it’s ultra-compact. But don’t let the tiny design fool you, it provides excellent organization and protection for your jewelry.

It has removable panels for earrings and rings that feature secure snaps, snap hooks to prevent necklaces from getting tangled, an open pouch for chunkier pieces, and a zipper pouch. It’s very simple to pack and grab your pieces out of it on the go, and we were impressed by how well everything stayed in place. It’s also made with pebbled leather which resists scratches and scuffs, and the mini wallet-like design is easy to pop into your purse or even your makeup bag .

Best Budget

Bagsmart jewelry organizer bag.

Material: Polyester | Dimensions: 9.8'' L x 6.1'' W x 1.9'' H | Color Options: Lake Blue, Black + more

Amazon has tons of travel and storage items, and this travel jewelry case is a great one for anyone on the hunt for an affordable and accessible option. It’s spacious without being too clunky or heavy, and it features different storage options. It has snap hooks to keep necklaces straight, ring rods, an earring card, and plenty of pockets. It kept everything organized and in place during our test, and while it doesn’t feel the most durable or extravagant as others we tested, the functionality and price point make it easy for us to recommend.

Best Personalized

Mark & graham small travel jewelry case foil debossed.

Material: Pebbled vegan leather | Dimensions: 4.5" W x 4.5 D" x 2.25" H | Color Options: Black, Orchid + more

This option is best for short trips or minimalists, and we think it’s a fantastic gifting option for birthdays, bridesmaids, or that friend that seems to always be on another trip. It can be customized with a name or monogram in a few different fonts and in gold or silver lettering. The case also comes in tons of colors—everything from black and caramel to vibrant shades of orange and green.

As for the design itself, we like how compact it is while still offering various storage options. It has cushioned rows to store earrings, small sections for rings, and hooks for necklaces. It’s definitely better for storing small pieces like rings and earrings, though you can fit one or two bracelets and necklaces in it. We also appreciate that it has a built-in divider with a mirror and the materials feel durable.

Kendra Scott Medium Travel Jewelry Case

Material: Polyurethane, 100% polyester Lining | Dimensions: 8"L x 5.5"D x 2.5"H | Color Options: Lilac, Taupe + more

Another option for those planning on traveling with a lot of jewelry, this one from Kendra Scott is great for storing earrings, rings, bracelets, and chunky necklaces that aren’t prone to tangling. We wish it had better storage to keep necklaces from knotting up, but we do love how much storage there is for everything else. There are tons of rows to place earrings, and the separate compartments at the bottom are nice for keeping medium and large pieces organized. We also appreciate that it comes with a removable pouch and the design is sturdy and easy to pack and unpack. It’s just a bit heavy for traveling with (especially for storing in carry-on luggage), but it’s a nice option if you have a lot of jewelry and accessories to take with you. It’s also fitting if you want a case to organize your jewelry at home—the design is simple and would look nice on your dresser.

Vee & Co. Small Travel Jewelry Case

Material: Vegan leather | Dimensions: 3.94" D x 3.94" W x 1.97" H | Color Options: Blue, White + more

If you’re looking for an affordable and compact travel jewelry case that will keep your collection super organized, we highly recommend checking out this one. Though it’s small, it’s well-designed to fit earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets—they all have a designated place. We do appreciate that the earring card features a mirror in the center which is convenient to have on hand while traveling. We had no issues with the jewelry moving around during our shake test, and we felt that it was intuitive to pack and easy to get the pieces out when needed.

What to Look for in a Travel Jewelry Case

• Organizational features: All travel jewelry cases have some storage organizational features, but some are far better than others. The right one for you will largely depend on what type of jewelry you wear and how much you’ll be taking with you, but generally, it’s wise to look for things like ring rods, earring cards, and necklace hooks.
• Size: Consider the size of a jewelry case wisely—especially when it’s for travel. You’ll want something that can fit everything you want to bring, but you’ll want to avoid options that are unnecessarily bulky or heavy.

This answer depends on what type of jewelry you’re traveling with, but in general, it’s wise to secure each piece in a travel case rather than throwing it all in a loose bag or compartment which will likely lead to damage and tangles. For necklaces specifically which are prone to knotting, look for a travel case that has snap hooks to keep them straight.

It’s always wise to pack your jewelry in your travel tote or carry-on luggage that way you can ensure you know where it is at all times—especially if it’s expensive or sentimental. If you pack it in your checked bag, you take the rise that the airline loses your bag along with the jewelry inside.

Pro Tips For Keeping Your Valuables Safe When You Travel

Personal safety is becoming a real problem for many Americans. Here are some tried and true strategies for keeping your passports and jewelry safe when you’re on the road.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Petty crime is on the rise and tourists are afraid they could be next. Here's how to keep your valuables safe when you're on the road.

Barbara Glavish didn't worry about keeping her belongings safe on a recent trip to Kuala Lumpur. That's because she was carrying a slash-proof handbag, "so I could worry less about getting robbed," she says.

So when Glavish stopped in a mall in the Malaysian capital, she fastened the high-security purse around to the strut of the heavy bench. And sure enough, someone took the bait.

"A few minutes later, two young men came running around the corner and one grabbed for my purse," remembers Glavish, a retired occupational therapist from Incline Village, Nev. "He was almost pulled off his feet as the bag didn’t come free. Thank goodness!"

Personal safety is becoming a real problem

There are more travelers like Glavish out there, experts say. Pickpockets have been on the prowl in popular tourism destinations this summer .

"I have heard of quite a few people who have had their cell phones or wallets stolen while traveling," says Kendra Kroll, CEO of Undercover Solutions, which created the PortaPocket, a modular security system for travelers. "With the cost of living getting higher for us all, perhaps some people are getting desperate for relief and are resorting to stealing to get by."

She's right. As a consumer advocate , I also get complaints about pickpockets and thieves. And this year, they've mostly been about Europe.

It turns out Europe's popular tourism destinations are a hotbed of pickpocketing activity. Last year in Amsterdam, the number of pickpocket complaints almost doubled from 2022. The capital of the Netherlands is among the top locations for pickpockets, according to a recent survey by a U.K. travel insurance company. Other problem countries include Italy, France and Spain.

There are strategies to avoid becoming a target and proven tools for keeping your valuables from getting stolen when you travel. But if you are like most travelers, there may be only one proven way to protect your stuff while you're on vacation.

Here's how to not become a target

The trick to staying safe isn't necessarily to carry a high-security handbag — though that can certainly help. It is to make yourself look less like a target.

Glavish is a great example. Leaving a purse on a bench in Kuala Lumpur is practically an invitation to the bad guys. Good thing she had one of those handbags, otherwise she would have lost her personal belongings. It's not the only place that marks you as a target.

"Putting anything in your back pocket is an invitation to a pickpocket," says security expert Robert Siciliano, CEO of ProtectNowLLC.com .

Unfortunately, tourists make themselves easy targets.

"The most common mistake travelers make is putting their wealth on display," says Jeremy Murchland, president of the travel insurance company Seven Corners . "You have to play it low-key."

Nothing to see here

So the easiest way to avoid an encounter with a pickpocket is to look like you have nothing of value. Wear something inconspicuous. Skip the cap and sneakers. Get a muted case for your phone that won't attract attention.

And, on a related note, look around before you take out your phone to check your messages or take a picture. (When I lived in São Paulo, locals warned me to keep my phone in my pocket in certain neighborhoods. Thieves on bikes will ride by tourists and try to swipe their phones.).

That means not wearing expensive watches, bracelets and rings.

"Only bring what you truly need on your trip," advises Frank Harrison, the regional security director for the Americas at World Travel Protection . "Leave expensive jewelry and unnecessary electronics at home."

It also means not dressing like a target. Americans stand out by wearing flashy clothes like college sweatshirts or logoed T-shirts and designer sneakers. That, combined with flocking to a popular tourist destination and talking loudly in English, can put a bulls-eye on your back.

"Don't make yourself a target," says John Rose, chief risk and security officer at ALTOUR . "It’s equally important not to make yourself a target. Flashy clothing, jewelry, handbags, or other accessories can draw the attention of individuals with bad intentions."

Proven strategies for keeping your valuables safer

That said, there are ways you can keep your valuables safe.

• A money belt. One of my favorites is the PortaPocket wearables , a travel-friendly system with interchangeable and modular pockets you can wear anywhere. PortaPocket adjusts to you, so you can wrap the belt around your arm, leg or waist. And the modular pockets mean you can add everything from a wallet to a phone case.
• Travel clothing. Travel attire brands like Clothing Arts allow you to store valuables like credit cards and phones in your pants pocket behind several layers of protective zippers and buttons. I've spoken with many travelers who say these inconspicuous travel clothes have saved them from disaster when they were on the road. And I can vouch for that: I've worn Clothing Arts pants for the last year and have never been pickpocketed. Not even on a Saturday morning fighting the crowds in Quito, Ecuador.
• An external solution. There are other ways of securing your belongings, such as the slash-proof handbag Glavish used. One example is the FlexSafe by a company called Aquavault. The inventor, Jonathan Kinas, came up with the idea after he had his valuables stolen while swimming at a resort. It's a slash-resistant and water-resistant pouch that allows you to secure it with a three-digit combination lock.

Oh, and one more thing: You have to actually use these methods if you want to stay safe. Guys, I'm talking to you. A recent survey by Global Rescue found that more than twice the percentage of men surveyed said they don't use any method to protect their valuables compared to their female counterparts. One out of four male survey respondents (25 percent) don't have a method to preserve their valuables, compared to less than 10 percent of women.

Harding Bush, associate director of security operations at Global Rescue, recommends one more trick: separate your valuables.

"That way, if a thief nabs a shoulder bag or a pickpocket steals your wallet you still have access to some of your money, credit cards and duplicates of other important documents," she says.

Here's the reality of the security situation when you travel

Look, let's be honest. Safety is often the last thing travelers think of — if they think of it at all. They thoughtlessly place their passports and wallets in their back pocket and then assume they will be there when they needed them. Sometimes, they're not.

Of course, separating your valuables is a hassle because tracking which valuables are where is a bother. And who wants to change their entire wardrobe just for safety?

If you're one of those people, don't tempt fate. Leave your valuables in a hotel safe or give them to the responsible adult in your party. Because the pickpockets are out there and they have their eye on you, whether you're aware of it or not. And having your valuables stolen is a much bigger hassle than taking a few steps to secure them.
