For most people, travel calls their name year-round. It can be for vacation or work – to the beach or loud, boisterous cities. A wondrous journey awaits.

At home, everything has its place, especially your jewelry – whether it is your dresser, vanity, or jewelry boxes. However, when you are traveling it is a different story. Traveling with jewelry can be a sticky situation because it is very easy to lose those small valuables and they are extremely difficult to replace.

HOW TO TRAVEL WITH JEWELRY

Here’s CMI Jewelry’s rundown of the proper ways to travel with your most valuable treasures.

DIY TRAVEL RESOURCES

More than likely, you have many things around your house that will help you organize your valuable jewelry for travel.

Straws: These make traveling with necklaces much easier. Simply loop one end of the necklace through the straw and then fasten the clasp. This method keeps the necklace from becoming tangled.

Buttons: These can be used for storing your earrings. Pop the post or hook of the earring through the buttonhole in order to secure them.
Pill Case: you can use individual compartments to organize necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings.
After organizing all of your jewelry, place it in a plastic bag and then put it in your luggage or carry-on.

TRAVEL JEWELRY BAGS

If you travel often, then it may be wise to invest in a jewelry bag. Travel jewelry bags are made of soft velvet, satin, or silk and work best if you only carry a few key pieces. A jewelry bag is also soft, which provides protection for your items that a plastic bag does not. This bag is quite small, which is perfect for your carry-on.

JEWELRY BOX

Do you dress up to the nines when you travel? Or perhaps you need to impress when you travel for work? If you require a full collection of jewelry, then you need to consider a jewelry box. It is the best option for space and compartments for organizing. Many come with separate areas for rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. You simply snap the box shut and put it in your luggage. You can be assured that your jewelry is safe and all in one place.

A JEWELER YOU CAN TRUST

Travel and jewelry do not need to be mutually exclusive. Both can inspire and can be attached to incredible memories. No matter how big or small, each experience can be commemorated or celebrated by a piece of jewelry. If you have any questions about traveling with jewelry, let the experts at CMI help.
