How To Pack Jewellery When Travelling

Choose the Right Jewellery for Travel

Travelling with expensive or sentimental jewellery can be risky. It's best to leave heirlooms and high-value items at home, where they're safe from loss, damage, or theft.

Instead, pack a few versatile pieces that work with multiple outfits—like simple studs, a classic chain, or stackable rings.

Choose items that are easy to replace and won't cause stress if misplaced. It's all about striking the right balance between style and peace of mind.

Use Purpose-Built Organisers

Travel organisers—like boxes, rolls, or pouches—are designed to keep your pieces separated, secure, and easy to access.

They often feature padded compartments, ring holders, and necklace hooks to prevent tangling and damage.

Compact and lightweight, they make packing neater while offering extra protection on the move.

Jewellery Packing DIY Hacks

Straws for Necklaces

Thread each necklace through a straw and clasp it to prevent tangling in transit.

Pill Cases

Use a weekly pill organiser to store rings, studs, and small chains separately.

Buttons for Earrings

Secure earring pairs through buttonholes to keep them together and easy to find.

Ziplock Bags

Place individual items in small ziplock bags—ideal for separating chains on a budget.

Soft Cloth or Towel Roll

Lay out your Jewellery on a soft cloth, roll it up, and secure with bands for a quick, protective solution.

Keep Your Jewellery Safe While Travelling

Jewellery is small, valuable, and often sentimental—making it a prime target for loss or theft while on the move. To protect your pieces, it's important to stay organised and store them smartly throughout your trip. Whether it’s in transit with your suitcases to your hotel room, a few simple precautions can make a big difference.

Smart safety tips for travellers:

Always keep your Jewellery in your carry-on—never check it in.
Store pieces discreetly in an inner pocket or pouch in your hand luggage like a backpack or tote bag.
Take a quick photo of each item before Travelling for peace of mind and safety purposes.
Use the hotel safe for anything you're not wearing that day.
Each morning, only lay out what you plan to wear to avoid misplacing extras.
