Jewelry

Looking for ideas on how what to use for jewelry. I usually carry earrings and necklaces. I’m not a
ring person.

How do carry yours when traveling?

Back in the day when I took jewelry on my trips, I'd use the tiny cellphane bags from craft stores, or the mini RX bags from the pharmacy. These days I just wear my favorite necklace and rings and call it a day. Can't lose it that way.

Like Melnq8, in my ears. One pair of good, but not flashy, go with everything all-purpose earrings. And scarves, not necklaces.

I take one cheap ring worn on the ring finger of my left hand, even though I'm not married. Occasionally I take a small jade pendant on a black string. I never wear ear rings. I see no point in taking "good" jewelry unless you are planning to attend a dress up event (i.e. not the theater). If you don't take something you value it can't be lost or stolen, and you don't have to worry about it. I stashed my jewelry in a safe deposit box before I left.

Trust me what I take isn’t from Tiffany’s! But I do like to take a few different pieces. I like the idea of the pill bags. I might give that a try. I have something I can put them in to keep them all in the same spot.

Thanks!

I use silk pouches similar to these. I have 3 or 4 of different sizes so which ever one I take depends on how much jewelry I take. I like them better than the pill baggies because they are large enough to also hold bracelets and are slightly padded and privde a bit of protection.

The little pouches are so cute! Another great idea!

I also use a mesh pouch. It's a pretty turquoise color in a fabric you can see thru and holds a couple silver necklaces and a few bead bracelets. My earrings are small pierced studs, so besides what is in my ears I put a few extra pairs in a tiny little container (like a sample of face cream came in).

For my last trip I bought a new toiletry bag (Bagsmart) I really like. I used it for all my toiletries, make up, and it has a section I even put first aid supplies in. What I found was I would pull out my jewelry (mostly earrings) more often than what I ever needed the first aid supplies - which of course was a good thing.

So what I think I will try on my next trip is put the first aid supplies in a separate bag (have one that will work) and use the section in the toiletry bag for jewelry. Probably put most earrings in the pill bags and maybe a couple of pouches. Then put them in that section. It zips and is water proof. I’ll let you know how it worked.

This is the jewelry bag I use. I put earrings in the small pouches along the side of the bag and a necklace or bracelet in the main compartment. I don't travel with much jewelry, but I do like to wear earrings.

Mrs Z enjoys buying jewelry on all of our trips. She uses a soft pouch once purchased from our city's larger Chinatown.
*Question: would not an empty eyeglasses case do the job too?
I am done. les bijoux

I got a travelling jewelery pouch fro TJ Maxx. I think it's a Travelon brand. A zip pouch for necklaces or bracelets, a spot to put earrings for pierced ears and a ring holder. The pouch might be too small for big statement necklaces, but is ok for chains and smaller necklaces.

I use small plastic zip-lock bags. Can see instantly what is in them. Never take “ serious” jewellery.

Love ear rings & often buy them when I’m away.

Gave up travelling with jewellery rolls & bags decades ago.

I take minimal jewelry and store it in amenity bags from airlines.
I also use zip-loc bags for sterling.

I have travel jewellery bags in 2 different sizes. I do travel with good jewellery, not all of it but some pieces.

I don't even own any "good jewelry". On vacations in tropical places I do have some fun things I pack to wear. Nothing I'd wear at home every day.

I'll use small plastic resealable bags to hold necklaces and rings, but they tend to get tangled together easily, which really bothers me.

I use something like this to hold my jewelry https://www.etsy.com/listing/6822467...-purple-flower. I don’t take a lot but like to have it in one spot.
