A few years ago, I spent 18 months full-time traveling across the globe. Throughout my journey, I picked up a new piece of jewelry (or five) at a local market in nearly every city I visited. By the time I returned home, I was the proud new owner of dozens of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, so it’s safe to say I know the importance of a travel jewelry case.

Considering that no one wants to waste a precious second of their vacation time untangling necklaces or searching for an earring back, I used my first-hand knowledge (and many reviews) to curate a list of the best travel cases for jewelry. Once you buy a jewelry organizer—and thus never have to deal with knotted necklaces again—you’ll never leave home without it. After researching dozens of options, here are my top picks for the best travel cases for jewelry, including jewelry pouches and mini travel jewelry cases that are big enough to fit your jewelry and your crystals for travel (if you’re into that sort of stuff). 

Where should I put my jewelry when traveling?

The best way to organize jewelry when traveling is to invest in a travel jewelry organizer. This could look like a mini jewelry box, a specifically designed travel jewelry case, or a small jewelry pouch. However, if you don’t have a lot of space, the best travel cases for jewelry are mini travel jewelry cases. If you’re in a pinch and don’t have a jewelry organizer, you can opt for something DIY like a pill organizer to keep earrings organized or small plastic bags for necklaces (just be sure to keep these separate so they don’t get tangled together). 

How do you pack expensive jewelry for travel?

For expensive jewelry, I recommend first keeping them with you at all times. This might look like simply wearing the pieces or, if they’re too flashy and you don’t want to wear them, invest in a travel jewelry box with a lock to keep them safe. Never, ever keep expensive jewelry in your checked bags, as those could end up lost or stolen, and always make sure you have tabs on where you place them. If it helps, keeping them stowed away with your passport can ensure you know where the jewelry is at all times. 

The best jewelry cases for travel

Best hanging case: Beis The Hanging Jewelry Case — $48.00

BEIS is the brainchild of actress Shay Mitchell, who travels a lot and felt that the luggage and accessory options on the market weren’t meeting her needs. I’m a big fan of all of the brand’s bags—the weekend tote comes pretty much everywhere with me—because each detail is thoughtfully designed by someone who really knows what a traveler needs when they’re on the road. This jewelry case is no exception: It’s got tabs to hang your necklaces on and multiple different-sized zipper pockets, and hangs over a door for easy access. When it’s not in use, you can roll it up into a compact size that will fit easily in your carry-on.

Dimensions:

• 24″ x 12″ (unfolded)
• 7″ x 12″ (folded)

• It features clear zippered pouches so you can see your collection. 
• It has necklace organizers to keep chains from getting tangled.
• It has large compartments for statement pieces.

Though the top of this case has got earring holes, necklace holders, and a ring rack, the secret bottom compartment has got space to store literally whatever you want. It can double as an electronics organizer, a makeup case, a secret snack stash… the world is truly your oyster.

Not only does this case come with a personalization option, but it’s also got four compartments to help keep your necklaces bracelets organized, plus a series of slots for rings and earrings. The only downside here is that there are no individual compartments for necklaces, so if you don’t pack carefully, you may wind up with a tangled mess. That said, it’s made from luxurious-looking leather comes in an entire rainbow’s worth of colors, which gives it a major one-up in terms of style.
