Jewellery Care While Travelling: The Importance of a Reliable Travel Case
Another MotherTravelling can be exciting but when it involves your expensive or luxury jewellery it requires extra attention to keep your pieces safe and damage-free.
Whether it’s your go-to gold earrings or a statement necklace, following these care tips will ensure your jewellery remains as beautiful as ever during and after your trip.
1. Invest in a Travel Jewellery Case

Key Features to Look For:
- Padded interiors for cushioning.
- Separate compartments for different pieces.
- Compact size for easy packing.
Tip: Choose a case with anti-tarnish lining to protect gold and silver items.
2. Pack Smartly
- Use small zip-lock bags for individual items to prevent tangling.
- Place delicate jewellery inside socks or rolled-up clothes for added protection.
- Avoid wearing or packing extremely valuable items unless necessary.
Tip: Keep your most precious pieces in your carry-on bag instead of checked luggage.
3. Minimize Jewellery Exposure
- Avoid wearing jewellery in water—pools, oceans, and even hotel showers can tarnish or weaken metals.
- Keep pieces away from lotions, perfumes, and sunscreen, which can cause discoloration.
4. Clean and Store After Each Use
- Gently wipe your jewellery with a soft dry cloth at the end of the day to remove dirt, sweat, or chemicals.
- Store it back in its travel case to avoid misplacing pieces.
5. Be Mindful of Security
- Use hotel safes to store high-value jewellery when not in use.
- Keep an inventory of the jewellery you’ve packed, including photos, in case of loss or theft.
