Whether you’re heading interstate for a basketball tournament, jetting off on a beach escape, or packing light for a weekend getaway, there’s one thing we can all agree on... tangled necklaces and lost earring backs are not the vibe.
We get asked this all the time: “How do you travel with jewellery?” So here it is, a little black book of tried-and-true tricks to keep your pieces safe, sorted, and exactly how you packed them.
These five simple hacks will help you protect your favourite EVER pieces while you’re on the move.
1. Jewellery Storage Case
Start with the basics ~ a structured, compact case. A glasses case makes the perfect mini travel vault, especially for smaller items like earrings and rings. Line it with a soft cloth or tissue paper to cushion your pieces and prevent scratching. Bonus: it's slim enough to slip into any bag or carry-on.
2. Safety Pin Ring Holder
One of our favourite under-the-radar tips. Thread your rings through a safety pin (yes, really) and close it up. It keeps them all together, minimises bulk, and you can even pin it inside your travel pouch or toiletry bag for extra security. It’s simple, clever, and strangely satisfying.
3. Button Earring Holder
You know those spare buttons that come with new clothes? Keep them. They make excellent earring holders when travelling. Just thread your studs or small hoops through the button holes and secure them with the backs. Store in a small pouch or wrap in tissue to keep them safe mid-flight.
4. Straw Necklace Storage
A cult classic... and for good reason. Thread one end of your necklace through a straw and clasp it on the other side. This keeps fine chains from knotting and saves you from the dreaded 15-minute untangle at the hotel. Perfect for layered looks like our Sidewalk and Off Duty necklaces.
5. DIY Jewellery Roll Towel
For a make-at-home option, roll your jewellery inside a small towel or washcloth. Space out your pieces, roll it up lengthwise, fold in half, and secure both ends with hair ties or rubber bands. It’s protective, padded, and doubles as a soft landing zone on your bedside table when you arrive.
Travelling with jewellery doesn’t have to be stressful. These simple, practical tips will make sure your EVER favourites arrive just as polished as when you packed them.
