An investment in a travel jewelry box organizer could be worthwhile if you plan to bring multiple pieces of expensive jewelry with you.

These cases are partitioned to accommodate various forms of jewelry. Further, the majority of jewelry boxes designed for travel also feature a lock, which can be used to further secure your valuables.

There is a wide variety of jewelry holders available. There are jewelry boxes of varying sizes, from those designed to hold a few pairs of earrings and a few rings to those designed to hold a number of necklaces.

When you're on the go, keep your tiniest and most fragile necklaces in one place with the help of a soft jewelry roll.

You can prevent scratches to your jewelry by using the protective cloth that is included with most rolls.

These plastic containers can be purchased at any pharmacy or online. In this way, your necklaces, bracelets, and earrings will be kept neatly organized and less likely to get tangled up.

In addition, you can separate your jewelry for different occasions or outfits by using a pill case organizer.

Make Straw Necklaces, No. 4

Option 5: Wrap Your Necklaces in Plastic

Plastic wrap is another option for safely transporting your necklaces without worrying about them getting tangled.

Firstly, spread out some plastic wrap and lay out your necklace. After it's been laid out, merely fold in the ends to seal. In order to put it on, you need only unwrap it.

The great thing about plastic wrap is that it can be reused over and over. After using the jewelry, place it back in the plastic wrap until the next time you need to use it.

Simple and effective, this kitchen staple will prevent your jewelry from becoming tangled in your suitcase during your travels.

Larger statement necklaces should be hung.

Large statement necklaces won't fit in pill cases or jewelry rolls, but you can use foldable hangers.

Putting them away is as simple as wrapping each one on a hanger and placing it somewhere else.

This is a simple and cheap solution for keeping long necklaces untangled on the road.

Wash with a Cloth, Step Seven

Instead of purchasing one, you can get creative by turning a washcloth into a jewelry roll.

Simply lay out your jewelry on a clean, dry washcloth. Roll the washcloth in a long direction, then fold it in half to place it.

Make sure the washcloth is held in place and the necklaces don't fall out by using rubber bands on each end.

Packing your jewelry securely in a washcloth is surprisingly easy and cheap.

Use Ziploc bags as tip #8.

Jewelry can also be stored in Ziploc bags, which is another clever way to repurpose commonplace items.

It's as easy as putting each necklace in a separate Ziploc bag. After it's been safely packed inside, you can simply zip up the bag and put it in your suitcase.

Keep your jewelry well away from the zipper when zipping. The necklace could be damaged or broken if the zipper catches it.

These bags are also great for keeping sets of earrings and rings organized. Traveling with jewelry can be a hassle, but using Ziploc bags solves that problem simply and efficiently.

9 - Repurpose Paper Towel Rolls

It's not the conventional way to store jewelry, but a cardboard toilet paper roll can be used for that purpose as well as several others.

Bracelet clamps can be used to secure the roll. Earrings can be safely secured in the cardboard. Necklaces can be threaded through the cylinder and then secured.

When packing, cardboard toilet paper rolls should be placed on top of other items. The rolls will be safe from being flattened by your heavy bags.

Keep in mind that you need to clean the cardboard rolls before using them.

Ten: Wrap It Up In Bubble Wrap

If you have some bubble wrap lying around the house or order some online, it can be used to store your jewelry safely.

For packing, simply lay each necklace or bracelet flat on a sheet of bubble wrap. The edges should be folded in carefully, and then taped along their length.

Once the jewelry is safely wrapped, you can roll it up in the leftover bubble wrap. If you want to travel with the assurance that your jewelry is safe, bubble wrap is worth the extra space it will take up in your suitcase.
