How to Travel with Your Jewelry: Keep It Safe and Tangle-Free
Traveling with jewelry can be a hassle. Chains get tangled, earrings get lost, and delicate pieces can be scratched or damaged. But I love having my favorite pieces with me wherever I go and I have a few simple tricks to share with you so you can learn how to travel with your jewelry in a way that will keep your favorite pieces organized and safe while on the go. Here’s how to pack your pieces like a pro.
Necklaces: No More Tangles
One of the biggest frustrations when traveling with jewelry is tangled necklace chains. The key? A simple ziplock bag. Here’s how to do it:
Place the pendant inside the bag, but leave one end of the chain hanging out.
Zip the bag closed around the chain, securing it in place. This prevents the chain from tangling while still keeping your necklace protected.

For earrings, another ziplock trick works wonders:
Dangles: Place them inside a small bag and poke their ear wires through the plastic. This keeps them suspended so they don’t rub against each other, preventing scratches as you travel.
Hoops & Studs: Drop them inside a small bag and seal it. For extra security, you can use an old button and insert each post into a buttonhole to keep pairs together.

I like to travel with a few different jewelry options so having a million ziplock bags doesn't work for me. You can save space and keep things organized by placing multiple pieces in the same bag.
Place a necklace and a pair of earrings in the same ziplock bag.
Keep the necklace pendant inside the bag with the chain hanging out and zipped to prevent tangling.
Poke the earrings through the plastic so they are suspended and don’t rub against the necklace.
This setup keeps everything secure, tangle-free, and scratch-free while traveling.

Bracelets and rings are the easiest to pack. Simply place them inside a small ziplock bag to keep them contained and easy to find. For extra delicate pieces, wrap them in a soft cloth before bagging.
Carry It On, Always
If you’re flying, never pack your jewelry in checked luggage. Instead:
Keep it in your carry-on to prevent loss or theft.
Use a small pouch or case inside your bag for easy access and extra protection. I line up all my baggies of jewelry and slip them into a cloth zipper pouch in my purse so I have everything with me.
Sometimes the simplest solutions are the easiest to implement. With these simple packing tips, I hope can travel worry-free, knowing your jewelry is safe, organized, and ready to wear the moment you arrive. Happy travels!
