Add some tangle-free solutions to your luggage

Traveling with jewelry can lend itself to many difficulties. Who hasn’t been faced with a tangled mess of earrings, necklaces, and bracelets upon opening their luggage at a new destination, or had a prized piece go missing while abroad? The solution is fairly simple: invest in the best travel jewelry cases. Just like a good luggage set, the right travel jewelry case will change the way you pack and prioritize those special items you hold dear.

For Abigail Donaldson, content and project manager at De Beers Group, travel jewelry cases have come to the rescue more than once. “Working across the jewelry industry, I’ve gotten used to being on the move with jewelry in tow,” she 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.”

Having tested quite a few cases herself, Donaldson has a few nonnegotiables to ensure her essentials are stowed properly. “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.”

From there, she encourages thinking about your destination. “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 16 best travel jewelry cases to shop now—including some of Donaldson’s personal favorites.

“For the conscious traveler, Paravel’s jewelry case features their signature Ecocraft Canvas, which is spill-proof and stain-repellent, not to mention made from eight recycled plastic bottles,” Donaldson says. “The zippered hard exterior and internal drawstring pouch keep things extra secure.” This case also has sizable internal pockets for larger items, plus a snap compartment for smaller things, like rings or earring studs.

“With two separate levels and an anti-tarnish lining, this case is ideal for someone who loves to layer their look with lots of jewelry and can’t travel without a full wardrobe of pieces,” Donaldson says.

The case also contains four ring rolls, one earring tab, four necklace hooks, three storage compartments, and under lid storage—for those longer Euro trips. There is also a mirror that is “convenient for on-the-go styling,” Donaldson adds.
