Traveling with jewelry can be risky business, so it’s important to pack your accessories thoughtfully. Sure, you can always use Ziploc baggies and tissue paper, but the easiest and safest way to keep your jewelry safe is by using a handy travel-size jewelry case.

Since travel jewelry cases come in all different shapes and sizes, we tried 25 options from trusted luggage and jewelry brands. After loading the cases up with jewelry, we tossed, dropped, and shook them to see how safe the jewelry would be in situations like traveling where rough handling can be expected. From testing, we selected the winning jewelry cases that will keep your jewelry safe and organized whether you’re a jewelry minimalist or maximalist.

Best Overall: Cuyana Travel Jewelry Case

Best budget: bagsmart jewelry organizer bag.

• Best Roll-Up: Bagsmart Peri Folding Jewelry Organizer

Best Personalization: Mark & Graham Small Travel Jewelry Case

Best large capacity: kendra scott medium travel jewelry case, best for long trips: calpak jewelry case, best compact: vee & co. small travel jewelry case.

• Best for Everyday Use: Levenger Mini Jewelry Organizer

Best Sustainable: Paravel Jewelry Case

The small, oval container is the perfect size for a weekend getaway.

It could use a few more organizational features.

Cuyana’s oval-shaped case is deceptively spacious in comparison to its smaller design. Perfect for minimalist jewelry wearers, the interior has plenty of room and designated spots for several rings and earrings, but there aren’t specific latches for necklaces or bracelets. The two slip pockets on each side of the case can hold bigger or longer pieces of jewelry, but they run the risk of getting tangled without a latch so we wish the organization was a bit better. Made with genuine leather, the case has a protective exterior with a soft suede interior to further guard the jewelry against scratching or other damage. Throughout six months of tests, we loved this case for weekend getaways and longer trips alike and found it to be the perfect size to toss in a backpack or personal item.

The bag is spacious yet compact and comes with a handle to carry it easily.

The quality feels a bit lower than other cases we tried.

Designed similarly to a toiletry bag, we love that this wallet-friendly jewelry case comes with a top handle to transport it to and from a suitcase with ease. The compact bag is also a great deal considering how much jewelry it can hold while still being easy to pack. The polyester material is protective and flexible so the bag can pack down to a smaller size depending on how much jewelry is inside. The interior has an earring panel, ring bands, necklace clips, and various zippered pockets for storing all of the jewelry you want to pack for a trip. While we didn’t notice any issues with quality during testing, the materials feel less durable than other pricier cases we tried. We tossed the packed jewelry case around a bit during our tests and the items remained perfectly safe without any tangling or damage. Even after traveling with the case on seven flights, trains, and throughout more than four roadtrips during our six months of tests, nothing became tangled and the case is proving to be durable and sturdy.

Best Roll-up: Bagsmart Peri Folding Jewelry Organizer

The compartments roll out, which makes it easier to pack jewelry.

It was slightly difficult to put the earrings on the designated card.

Bagsmart impressed us a second time with their roll-up jewelry organizer, which was the easiest bag to pack with jewelry during testing. After six months of use, we love that it can fit a lot of jewelry and has compartments big enough for even the biggest hoops and other dramatic earrings. The envelope-style case unrolls and lies flat so you can easily see all of the pockets, latches, and hooks for storing every piece of jewelry you could ever need for traveling thanks to the larger capacity. We had some slight difficulty getting earrings into the holes in the earring card, but it was just a minor inconvenience, and there are plenty of other spots to place hoops and studs. Made with cotton fabric, the case may feel a bit flimsy, but is soft and protective, and it’s very compact since it can lie fairly flat even after it’s packed with jewelry.

The Details: Cotton | 9.06 x 6.3 x 5.75 inches

Mark & Graham

It comes in 28 color and pattern options — plus it's monogrammable.

After six months of using the case, we wish it had more space for necklaces, bracelets, and larger earrings.

Looking for the perfect gift for a traveler? You can monogram this Mark & Graham jewelry case with up to three letters for a personalized touch that makes the gift all the more thoughtful. The square-shaped case has a sturdy exterior that feels like it will hold up perfectly in a packed carry-on and the pebbled vegan leather gives the box a sophisticated look while sitting on a desk or dresser. The interior is split into two sections with a mirror divider to separate the box, which makes it slightly difficult to fit larger jewelry pieces like a watch or chunky necklace, but after six months of testing, we did like that the separate sections help you access all your items without spilling everything out. We also love that there are tons of ring pillow slots so if you’re a big ring wearer, this jewelry case is an excellent option. In addition, there are several necklace or earring latches as well as a slip pocket and sections for bracelets or broaches.

The Details: Vegan leather, linen | 4.5 x 4.5 x 2.25 inches

Kendra Scott

The large size of this jewelry box makes it useful for heavy packers or at-home use.

It doesn’t have any necklace hooks.

Jewelry maximalists will appreciate the bigger size of Kendra Scott’s jewelry case. It looks like a traditional jewelry box that sits on a dresser, but it’s also very portable thanks to its lightweight materials and design. The interior has four large compartments to easily drop in bracelets, necklaces, or watches without any hassle and there are over 10 ring pillow slots for rings or earrings. To keep all the packed jewelry safe, the case comes with a divider to prevent items from jostling around on the go. The case also comes with a small matching zippered pouch that you can keep in the box or remove for extra storage. We found this separate pouch to be perfect for use on shorter trips when you may not need to bring the full case. While we wish the box had a few more organizational features like necklace hooks or earring holes, the jewelry remained perfectly intact after we shook it around, so we’re confident that the box keeps items safely tucked away. Plus, after six months of use, the stylish case still looks new and is a great option for home storage, too.

The Details: Polyurethane, polyester | 8 x 5.5 x 2.5 inches

After six months of traveling with this case, not one necklace became tangled thanks to the plentiful hooks.

We wish it had more storage options for studs.

If you’re embarking on an international trip that includes a checked bag, we recommend this jewelry case from Calpak to weather the journey. Since the rectangular jewelry case is bigger, it can easily store enough jewelry for several weeks of traveling. The structured design makes it ultra-durable and our favorite part is that it has a built-in drawstring bag that does an excellent job of keeping bracelets, watches, or earrings safely secured in the bottom section of the jewelry case. The top part has a variety of necklace latches and a ring holder for even more security. When we rigorously shook the container, none of the jewelry budged from its original spots, so we feel confident that this case will protect your valuables in a checked bag with no issues.

The Details: Faux leather, faux suede | 7 x 5 x 2.5 inches

The square-shaped box is small enough to easily fit in a carry-on or backpack.

The jewelry might scratch up the mirror on the divider.

The lower price and superior functionality make this petite jewelry case an excellent option for anyone looking for a place to store their accessories. It’s smaller than a lot of the options we tested, so we think it’s ideal for travelers needing to save space in a backpack or suitcase. Despite its compact stature, this jewelry box can fit tons of jewelry from studs to a leather watch. It’s intuitive to pack the case with rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more since there are designated latches, slots, and compartments for virtually everything. When we shook the case, all of the jewelry remained packed away in its original spot without any damage occurring. The box has a divider with a mirror on one side and our only worry is that the mirror could get scratched by the metals or vice-versa, so you may want to put a small piece of fabric between the mirror just in case.

The Details: PU vegan leather | 3.94 x 3.94 x 1.97 inches

Best for Everyday Use: Levenger Carrie Mini Jewelry Organizer

The small design makes it easy to store the case in a purse.

It can’t fit large jewelry pieces.

Jewelry minimalists will love this tiny jewelry case for keeping track of just a few pieces of jewelry while on the go. After six months of use, we love that this Levenger mini jewelry case has latches, hooks, and pockets to protect and organize rings, bracelets, and necklaces. It is on the small side with minimum space for studs, but light packers will appreciate the hard, durable exterior that still looks new after six months. The genuine leather exterior and suede interior feels luxurious and looks elegant, so this also makes a great jewelry case for newlyweds going on a honeymoon . We especially love the tiny zippered pocket in the middle of the case for storing extra small jewelry items like studs or stacking rings.

The Details: Leather, microsuede | 4.25  x 4.5 x 1 inches

All of the materials used to make this case are recycled.

The organizational features could be better and, after six months of use, we think it's a bit too large to pack in a carry-on.

Paravel is one of our favorite luggage brands , so we’re pleased to report that its jewelry case impressed us, too. The circular case is made entirely of recycled materials from post-consumer plastic water bottles and upcycled zippers to create an eco-friendly accessory for travel. Besides the sustainability factor, the case comes with a large drawstring pouch that makes it easy to drop in larger pieces of jewelry like bracelets or watches. The top flap of the case has a ring holder and earring post to store smaller pieces of jewelry, but we wish there were a few more organization features like necklace latches or zippered pockets. However, we love the vintage-style design and, like most Paravel bags, you can monogram the case with initials for a special touch.

The Details: Recycled canvas, vegan leather | 5.6 x 3.6 inches

Other Travel Jewelry Cases We Liked

The jewelry cases below get an honorable mention since they still performed well in testing, but fell slightly short compared to our top performers.

Benevolence Plush Velvet Travel Jewelry Box Organizer : This jewelry box can fit a ton of items, but you’ll want to make sure everything is secure before traveling since we noticed most of the jewelry became dislodged during testing.

Mejuri Travel Case : The case looks elegant and sleek on the outside, but the interior doesn’t offer much in the organizational department, so it’s best for minimalist travelers.

After thoroughly researching jewelry cases from trusted brands, we selected 25 options to first test out in our New York City lab. We packed each case with every type of jewelry you can think of, including rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, watches, and more to get a feel for the usefulness of the organization features. Then, we tossed, dropped, and shook the cases (think Kourtney Kardashian level of salad bowl shaking) to see if the jewelry remained safely secured in place or if the pieces moved around. We also examined the cases for any scuffing or damage.

Watch Us Test the Best Travel Jewelry Cases

With our lab testing portion complete, we then rated the jewelry cases based on ease of use, capacity, design, and quality to determine the winners. We continued to test the jewelry cases for an additional six months so we could see how each one performed while traveling in a more natural setting after the lab testing, and then added those insights.

Tips for Buying a Jewelry Case

Buy the right size case for your needs.

First, you’ll want to think about how much jewelry you travel with to determine the best size for your needs. For those who travel with bigger pieces of jewelry like watches or chunky necklaces, consider getting a more structured case with large compartments. Delicate or minimalist jewelry will pack better in an envelope or binder style of jewelry case. And if your jewelry collection consists of just a few pieces, opt for a mini jewelry case to save space in your luggage.

Consider organization

Most jewelry cases come with latches, hooks, pockets, and pillows to hold pretty much any piece of jewelry you can think of. Like other types of travel organizers , some jewelry cases are more barebones than others, so you’ll want to buy a case according to your organization preferences or based on the type of jewelry you travel most with. If most of your jewelry consists of earrings, be sure to get a box that has pockets and hole cards with spots for hoops, studs, and dangling earrings.

Frequently Asked Questions

The best way to keep your jewelry safe and organized is to use a jewelry case. The best thing about travel jewelry cases is that they often come with designated slots for all types of accessories to make packing intuitive and quick. If you want to add an extra layer of protection, you can always place tissue or fabric between your jewelry to prevent the pieces from rubbing against one another in transit.

Once your jewelry is packed into the case, we recommend placing the jewelry case between soft clothing for safekeeping or in a personal item in case you have to gate-check your bag when flying. It can be risky to place a jewelry case in a checked bag since you may run the risk of the bag getting lost, but it depends on your comfort level for flying with potentially valuable items.

Behind the Scenes

Why trust people, what is people tested.

People / Joy Kim

Packing jewelry is the pan-ultimate dilemma among travelers wanting to accessorize while on vacation.

Maybe you've been throwing your pieces into individual plastic bags or perhaps you've been placing them in your toiletry bag and hoping for the best. In any case, if you're a frequent traveler, it may be time to buy a dedicated travel jewelry case to keep your baubles protected, secure, and tangle-free.

We tested 25 travel jewelry cases for design, durability, material, organization compartments, and size and eventually narrowed it down to the best of the best. All of these cases won high marks on design, capacity, and ease of use.

Read on for the travel jewelry cases that got our PEOPLE Tested stamp of approval.

Best Overall

Bagsmart jewelry organizer bag.

Secure fastenings for different types of jewelry

Remains flat and compact even when filled

Offers easy visibility to all items

Layout not conducive to hoop earrings

If you're looking for a great birthday or Valentine's Day gift , the Bagsmart Jewelry Organizer Bag won our top jewelry case pick because it accomplishes the difficult task of keeping your accessories secure and intact while traveling in one no-fuss organizer. Two layers of elastics keep your necklaces tangle-free, while the inner zippered pouch holds more valuable pieces that may be prone to scratching (like a watch). Our tester also appreciated how well the organizer made it easy to access pieces, noting that it "opens up like a book, which is nice because it allows you to see all the different compartments."

Size: 9.8 x 6.1 x 1.9 inches | Colors: 10 | Material: Polyester

How It's Held Up

After seven flights and four car trips during the past six months, this bag is still performing as well as the first day we tried it. Because of its spaciousness, versatility, and how well it protects our jewelry, we also use this bag for extra storage at home.

Best Budget

Teamoy jewelry travel case.

Soft-shell case is malleable and easy to pack

Smaller size is ideal for shorter trips

All-around zipper closure for easy access

Interior lining feels low-quality

At less than $15, the Teamoy Small Jewelry Travel Case comes with a lot of perks: multiple features for different pieces of jewelry, an interior pouch, and a compact size that's easy to pack in a suitcase, carry-on, weekender bag , or tote. While compact in size, this case has "plenty of capacity to store enough jewelry for a trip of a few weeks or even a month, and can easily be transported, even in a small luggage or a handbag," said our tester. Keep in mind that the ring sleeve only opens on one side, so you'll have to remove each ring to get to the one you want.

Size: 6.5 x 4.5 x 1.5 inches | Colors: 5 | Material: Cotton

Our jewelry experts, Abigail Valentine and Karina Brez , recommend placing your travel jewelry case in your carry-on to prevent loss or damage.

Best for Weekend Trips

Benevolence plush velvet travel jewelry box organizer.

Built-in mirror for easy application

Comes with microfiber cleaning cloth

Adjustable wall dividers to accommodate different sized pieces

May not be large enough for longer trips

Items may shuffle around with turbulence

The Benevolence Plush Velvet Travel Jewelry Box Organizer is a convenient jewelry case that works well for weekend traveling. Our tester was able to access several pieces of jewelry, noting that the inner compartments were thoughtfully positioned. Unlike other organizers, this one has slits for rings versus a ring bar — plus, the felt wall dividers are adjustable, so it'll be able to accommodate different sized items (though our tester did experience them shuffling around after the box was shaken). It also comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth for on-the-go maintenance.

This case is an Oprah favorite , and we can see why. It comes in nine colors — from red to navy — and has a soft velvet exterior that gives it a higher-end look (impressive, considering its reasonable price tag).

Size: 3.75 x 3.75 inches | Colors: 9 | Material: Velvet

After six months, the fabric is in good condition and the zipper is working smoothly. It fits a lot of jewelry for its size, and the size and shape make it easy to pack in any bag. We love that we can see all of the jewelry items at once, and except for a few items being tossed during travel, everything remains organized.

Best Roll-Up

Vlando viaggio small jewelry case.

Wide compartments for large jewelry pieces

Sturdy front snap

Velvet-lined, anti-scratch interior

No hooks or snaps for necklaces

If you're really pressed for space, go for the Vlando Viaggio Small Jewelry Case Box , a roll-up case containing three cylinder compartments stacked on top of each other, each of which forms a spiral when opened. While this doesn't contain any dedicated slots or slits for your jewelry pieces, it can accommodate both large and small chunky bracelets, rings, brooches, and pins (avoid packing necklaces or dainty bracelets as there are no hooks or snaps). It's also well-constructed despite its affordability, complete with even stitching and a sturdy front snap.

Size: 3.3 x 7.3 inches | Colors: 11 | Material: Faux leather

Six months after first trying it, this travel jewelry case is still working great. It was ideal for packing and separating small items — like hair pins — for a wedding and honeymoon, and we appreciate that it also has a few deeper compartments. What we don’t love is that it can’t stand up on its own and that you have to open it carefully to make sure it’s not upside down.

Best Space-Saving

Bagsmart peri folding jewelry organizer.

Easy to pack and open due to foldable design

Compact size can fit into overnight bags easily

Ample capacity for a variety of pieces

Soft exterior may get damaged if not packed with caution

The Bagsmart Travel Jewelry Organizer Roll may look like a clutch upon first glance, but once unfolded, it spreads out into a convenient jewelry storage option. Featuring buckle bands for rings, a panel for earrings, and a necklace buckle, along with an interior zipper pouch and a pocket, it's impressive how much this roll fits despite its size. It kept our tester's jewelry in place during the shake and drop tests, and it’s a great option for maximalist packers who may not need hard-sided protection for their jewelry case (think: if you're traveling with a tote bag).

Size: 6.3 x 9.06 x 5.75 inches | Colors: 9 | Material: Cotton

After six months of use, this travel jewelry organizer is still working fine. We appreciate the bag’s durability and ample storage capacity. We’d recommend it to anyone looking for a budget-friendly travel jewelry case with lots of storage space.

Vee & Co. Small Travel Jewelry Case

Reasonable price tag

Small, compact, and lightweight

Exterior is easy to wipe clean

Mirror isn't covered and could scratch easily

The Vee Small Travel Jewelry Case is a nifty little travel case with a clamshell opening and range of pockets and fasteners on the top and bottom portions. Our tester was able to fit all of her jewelry pieces in the box with plenty of room to spare for more rings, bracelets, or necklaces. "The case has the perfect balance of organizational features without feeling overwhelming, and I love that the dividers in the bottom compartment can be taken out and adjusted to fit chunky or delicate jewelry," noted our tester.

Size: 3.94 x 3.94 x 1.97 inches | Colors: 4 | Material: Vegan leather

The More You Know

While some people opt for traveling with their jewelry pieces in a pouch, a travel jewelry case provides the most security. The best way to keep your jewelry from being damaged when traveling is to avoid overstuffing the travel case, Valentine cautions. "If you need more space, consider buying two of the travel cases you like or look for a bigger option — the goal is to keep everything separate and secured."

Kendra Scott Medium Travel Jewelry Case

Tons of storage with no wasted space

Doubles as an at-home jewelry box

Comes with a removable pouch for other items (like makeup)

Exterior material is prone to scuffing

Doesn't have any necklace hooks

The Kendra Scott Medium Travel Jewelry Case checks every box if a large jewelry organizer is what you're after. It comes with multiple compartments as well as a removable pouch that could be used on its own if you don't want to use the larger case. While the outside of the box scuffed slightly during testing, the interior was well-cushioned and stable, and none of the pieces moved or became tangled after tossing. "This is a large case that would be great for checking in — it can also definitely be left open on your dresser for at-home use," said our tester. Plus, after six months of real world testing, the case still looks brand new.

Size: 8 x 5.5 x 2.5 inches | Colors: 4 | Material: Polyurethane

Experts Say

Valentine says to look for a case that can hold at least three to five necklaces, four to six rings, and two to five small earrings. There should also be an area big enough for a moderate size bangle or statement earring. "If you are someone who really likes accessories, I suggest looking for a bigger case that rolls or hangs with individual compartments," she says.

Best for Long Trips

Calpak jewelry case.

Durable exterior holds up well to being tossed around

Comes in a range of fun, bold colors

Good division of space, and pieces don't touch each other

Doesn't have a carrying handle

For longer trips where you'll want to travel with a variety of different pieces, it doesn't get much better than the Calpak Jewelry Case . The roomy drawstring pocket is perfect for things like bangles, chunky rings, or larger costume jewelry — it also has several interior pockets that you can use for more valuable pieces (or even your stash of disappearing bobby pins). Tuck daintier, more delicate necklaces into the pocket and snap it closed with the fastener for extra security. Color-wise, there are four classic and six limited shades to choose from.

Size: 7 x 5 x 2.5 inches | Colors: 6 | Material: Faux leather

The condition of the case is unchanged after being dropped and squished into many totes and suitcases. When stored in this case, all of our jewelry items remain intact with no tangles. The ring holder and necklace hooks are extremely helpful, and the zipper has remained consistently smooth when opening and closing. One thing we wish it had are designated earring holes, but we appreciate the pockets and pouches that keep earrings and other small jewelry items secure.

Best for Short Trips

Mejuri jewelry case.

Small size accommodates different types of suitcases and totes

Suede interior is gentle on jewelry and won't scratch

Free monogramming available

Can't accommodate larger, chunkier pieces

Short trips call for a travel jewelry case that's easy to fill, throw into your duffel bag, and access once you get to your destination, and the Mejuri Travel Case certainly delivers. It's slightly bigger than the size of a hand and can fit three pairs of earrings as well as four necklaces and bracelets as well as a handful of rings. While the case isn't as big as some of the others on our list (and therefore can't fit larger costume jewelry-type pieces), our tester said it's a solid option for someone looking to travel with their most-loved pieces or weekend getaways.

Size: 4 x 4 x 1.4 inches | Colors: 2 | Material: Leather

Keep in Mind

Make sure all organizers are buttoned and zipped up. If you really want to be careful, Brez recommends packaging up anything that might come in contact with another piece of jewelry in individual tissues before placing it into your travel jewelry case.

Best Monogrammed

Mark & graham small travel jewelry case.

Luxe foil debossed monogramming available

Hard exterior can handle drops and shakes — great for airplane travel

Several color and pattern options

Not big enough for at-home storage

It's sleek, durable, and monogrammable — the Mark & Graham Small Travel Jewelry Case is a no-brainer for those looking for a travel jewelry case that's functional and pretty to look at. This comes in 28 color and print options (the most of any on our list) and has a built-in mirror that can double as a close-up mirror for eyeshadow application. The hard exterior is made of pebbled vegan leather and won't change shape during transit while the interior tray is complete with several cushioned slots (for rings or earrings) as well as rectangular compartments.

Size: 4.5 x 4.5 x 2.25 inches | Colors: 32 | Material: Vegan leather

After six months of testing, this case is still in the same pristine condition as when we originally received it (despite the lighter color material). That said, it’s a little bulky and our tester wished there were more dedicated spaces for earrings and fewer for rings.

Paravel Jewelry Case

Monogram options

Accommodates large pieces of jewelry

Durable construction

Not great for storing necklaces

With monogram options and a slew of colors, the Paravel Jewelry Case makes for the perfect gift (though you'll definitely end up wanting to snag one for yourself). It features one main compartment (a removable drawstring bag with six internal pockets) along with a snap tab bar for studs, small hoops, or rings. Our tester loved the wide capacity of the drawstring bag, which was spacious enough to hold larger pieces of jewelry and even a pair of sunglasses.

Size: 3.6 x 5.6 inches | Colors: 2 | Material: Canvas, vegan leather

Over the course of six months, our tester has taken it on several trips, and their favorite part is the convenient earring and ring storage on the top of the case. It’s sturdy, but it’s also a bit large and inflexible, so it takes up more space in a carry-on than we’d like. Overall, it’s a timeless, high-quality jewelry case that’s a great option for many travelers.

Best Design

Cuyana travel jewelry case.

Soft, sturdy leather

Durable exterior holds up well to scuffs and scratches

Interior straps are removable; great for storing larger pieces

Couldn’t find any

Cuyana's oval-shaped Travel Jewelry Case won for Best Design — every detail, like the high-quality pebbled Italian leather, muted color palette, and sleek zipper stood out to us. This case features a detachable earring strap with six holes as well as another suede strap that hangs necklaces into an elasticized pocket for tangle-free storage. "I adore how small and slim this is — it's deceptively roomy!" said our tester, who likes that it can fit into a handbag or jacket pocket despite being bigger than the palm of a hand.

Size: 5 x 3.5 x 1.23 inches | Colors: 6 | Material: Leather

Six months after receiving it, we are still obsessed with this jewelry case. It’s so sleek and stylish that our tester uses it at home to store their favorite jewelry pieces. We love the versatility of the case, as it’s easy to bring on any type of trip in a purse or carry-on. Despite its compact size, it holds plenty of jewelry; we just wish it had a few more organization hooks and latches. The high-quality leather material has held up well (except for one small scuff mark that can be easily buffed out).

Best Leather

Levenger mini jewelry organizer.

Soft pebbled leather that’s also durable

Several compartments for securing fine jewelry

Slim size is easy to pack

No monogram options

If you're looking for a high-quality case that gets better with time, opt for the Levenger Carrie Mini Jewelry Organizer , which is made of touchable soft pebbled leather and accented with gold hardware. The case weighs less than half a pound and isn't much bigger than a wallet, making it the perfect organizer to throw in your tote or weekender. Like most travel jewelry cases, this one features snaps to keep your necklaces in place along with a pouch to hang the bottom in to ensure they don't get tangled. Our tester was also a fan of the internal zipper pouch.

Size: 4.25 x 1 x 4.5 inches | Colors: 3 | Material: Leather

After six months of travel, this case has held up beautifully. We have found the case to be portable and easy to use, and it would be a great addition to a gym bag. The case feels durable, and it keeps jewelry items secure.

Other Travel Jewelry Cases We Tried

• Away The Jewelry Box : The overall construction of this organizer felt substantial and sturdy:  the compartments and snaps felt secure, and we liked the additional padded piece for extra stability, protection, and separation. But, the snap bar holding the rings came loose during testing and the top part is not hard, meaning it could be compressed and therefore damaged during long-haul traveling.
• Beis The Hanging Jewelry Case : We like how roomy and spacious this jewelry case is as well as the space-saving aspect of a hanging organizer. It's quite long and can hold several pieces, yet folds up quite compactly. However, getting stuff out of the top small pockets is a little tricky because the pockets don't open wide. Also, the magnetic closure came undone with tossing. We see this better suited for makeup or if you're looking for a way to pack up all of your jewelry during a move.
• Leatherology Small Jewelry Organizer : This case doesn't have any organizational features besides a small pocket on the side and a removable cinch pouch, but what stood out to us was its compact size and impressive depth — it's deep enough to fit bulkier jewelry like watches or necklaces with thick pendants. This is a simple jewelry case and performed as designed, but because it doesn't feature any fasteners or pockets for organization, things like necklaces or daintier bracelets may get tangled.

What to Know About Travel Jewelry Cases

Size affects jewelry storage.

While the size of a potential travel jewelry case is dependent on how much you plan to accessorize and how long your trip is, it's best to pack enough jewelry that is versatile and can be worn with a variety of outfits. "This will help save on space and make staying organized easier," says Abigail Valentine , a former costume designer and current personal stylist based in Phoenix. Valentine also suggests leaving a little extra room to accommodate any shopping that is done on the trip (if you are someone who likes a sparkly souvenir).

No matter the size of the travel jewelry case, the spacing between each piece is important. "Hooks and separate locations are very important within a jewelry case," says Karina Brez , equestrian fine jewelry designer. You should also try to avoid layering your pieces and having them touch, as this can increase the risk of scratching depending on the metal, notes Valentine. "For rings, I prefer them to be set horizontally between two cushions, rather than slip on vertically on a cushioned tube — this will prevent touching and scratching," she adds.

Size will also rely on your method of travel. If you're traveling by plane, both Valentine and Brez recommend packing your jewelry in a carry-on to avoid potential lost luggage or damage from handling. This, of course, means it'll have to be compact enough to fit alongside your other carry-on belongings. "If carry-on space is an issue and you have a mix of expensive and moderately priced pieces, consider buying two smaller travel cases: One to carry-on with your more expensive items and then check one with your less expensive, fun items," says Valentine.

Materials Should Be Durable

There are a variety of materials to choose from, but Valentine says to look for a leather or faux leather since they're easy to wipe clean. The inside is also important — you'll want to opt for a velvet, polyester, or suede lining as these are gentle on jewelry, are less likely to scratch, and don't attract too much dust.

Storage Type Is Key

"I definitely recommend ring holders, earring panels with holes, and zippers for necklaces and bracelets," says Brez. "Ideally, there would be all three within the jewelry case and hopefully multiple of each." Hooks and pouches for necklaces are a must for more delicate necklaces, while the option to customize the pads will give you the most versatility when packing, says Valentine.

Our PEOPLE Tested team tried out 25 travel jewelry cases. For each case, we looked at ease of use, capacity, design, and performance, eventually narrowing it down to ones that stood out from the rest.

• Packing Test: To start, we packed each travel jewelry case according to one standard packing list that consisted of three necklaces, three rings, two bracelets, one watch, and four earrings (one post, one hoop clasp, and two earrings of the tester's choice). Our testers looked at how sturdy the travel jewelry case seemed and if the materials seemed protective. They also took into account any design features such as buttons, fasteners, dividers, and straps that made packing easier. 
• Damage Test: After packing, they decided if each travel jewelry case was best fit for a suitcase, weekender, and/or a tote and if it was versatile enough for at-home storage. They then gave the travel jewelry case a vigorous shake, tossed it in the air, and dropped it on the ground. Our testers were told to open the travel jewelry case and examine all contents inside, taking note of any pieces of jewelry that came loose from where they packed it, got tangled together, or were damaged.
• Ease of Use: Finally, our testers were instructed to remove one pair of earrings, one necklace, and one ring from the travel jewelry case, as if they were going to wear them. They cited how easy it was to do so or if it was time-consuming and tedious to get to the desired piece based on the damage test.

Michelle Rostamian is a contributing freelance writer for PEOPLE. Michelle consulted lab testing insights where our team put the travel jewelry cases through a series of challenges to see how they held up. She also interviewed Abigail Valentine , a former costume designer and current personal stylist based in Phoenix, and Karina Brez , equestrian fine jewelry designer for this piece.

Take Our Word for It

What is real simple selects.

Real Simple / Joy Kim

Stop tossing your favorite jewelry into a bag when you embark on a trip—it can quickly become tangled and scratched, damaging your most delicate pieces. A travel jewelry case solves this problem, offering a secure and stylish way to store your necklaces , earrings, and rings on the go. 

When it comes to buying a jewelry case for travel, look for well-constructed pieces that “have several compartments to keep the pieces from touching each other,” says Bennett Beutel , the product lead at Tiffany & Co. He adds that by separating the pieces, you can limit any damage that may occur from them bumping into each other. 

To find the best travel jewelry cases to suit every type of trip and traveler, we tested 25 options ranging in price and size and filled them with jewelry. We evaluated how easy they were to pack, how well they kept pieces in place, any notable organizational features, and their capacity. Whether you need to stash a few dainty necklaces or protect larger statement pieces, these cases will keep your jewelry in prime condition.

Best Overall Travel Jewelry Case

Mark & graham small travel jewelry case.

• Ease of Use 5 /5
• Capacity 5 /5
• Design 5 /5
• Performance 4.5 /5
• Value 4.5 /5

This jewelry case can be personalized and has a built-in mirror to use on the go.

We wish the dividers in the main compartment were removable to allow for larger pieces.

This small square case is available in a range of classic and vibrant shades, which you can monogram to add a personal touch (whether for yourself or as a thoughtful gift for a jewelry-loving jet setter). It has a zip-around opening to glimpse all your pieces at once. Behind the handy built-in mirror, there are three hooks for necklaces or larger pieces—just note that it doesn’t keep them very secure. 

The main compartment is ideal for ring lovers, with space to hold seven rings in the center. We wish the surrounding small compartments had adjustable dividers to fit more of our favorite pieces. The case is sturdy and maintained its shape when we jostled it around, so we feel confident that it would protect our pieces even if it got squished in our suitcase. 

Dimensions : 4.5 x 4.5 x 2.25 inches | Storage Compartments : 6 | Material : Vegan pebbled leather, linen

Best Budget Travel Jewelry Case

Bagsmart jewelry organizer bag.

• Performance 5 /5

It has a convenient carrying handle and ample organizational features.

The panel for earrings is flimsy and can only accommodate hoops along the edges.

At almost 10 inches long, this jewelry case is impressively roomy, with plenty of space for your go-to pieces. It features five compartments: a ring band that snaps on and off, a panel for earrings, five straps to secure necklaces, a zippered pouch for storage, and a side zippered pocket.

For all of its convenient features, the handle was our favorite—we loved that we could carry it like a purse or toss it into our carry-on luggage . This case is lightweight and compact even when filled beyond the recommended capacity. While we struggled a bit with the earring panel, as the holes are very close together and can only accommodate hoops at the edges, the hardware was overall durable. 

Dimensions : 6.1 x 9.8 x 1.9 inches | Weight : 0.55 pounds | Storage Compartments : 5 | Material : Polyester

Best Large Travel Jewelry Case

Kendra scott medium travel jewelry case.

It’s spacious and easy to see all of your pieces at a glance.

There aren’t any hooks to hang necklaces from.

Crafted from high-quality PU leather, this elegant case features a removable zippered pouch and several sturdy and cushioned compartments to separate your jewelry, including a central section where you can safely secure rings and earrings. It’s simple and satisfying to pack—just drop your pieces into one of the compartments. 

The clutch-like rectangular shape makes this a bit bulky for a carry-on or weekender bag, but it’s a perfect companion for checked luggage. Since it’s easy to see your pieces on display once you open them, we like this for at-home storage, too. Our only gripe is that there isn’t dedicated necklace storage, but the compartments are large enough to store necklaces in individual pouches. 

Dimensions : 8 x 5.5 x 2.5 inches | Storage Compartments : 6 | Material : PU leather, polyester

Best Small Travel Jewelry Case

Vee & co. small travel jewelry case.

Despite its compact size, this case has a section to store every type of jewelry.

The included display mirror doesn't feel durable.

Travelers will love this case for its extensive organizational compartments, which give every piece its place to minimize scratching and tangling. We like the six plush ring pillows, three necklace hooks, and a built-in earring panel that borders the included mirror, but our favorite feature is the two removable dividers that you can adjust to accommodate delicate or chunky jewelry. The mirror is another convenient addition to this compact case, allowing you to try on different pieces or do your makeup—however, it seems less durable than the rest of the case. 

Dimensions : 3.9 x 3.9 x 1.9 inches | Weight : 0.37 pounds | Storage Compartments : 6 | Material : Vegan leather, velvet

Best Round Travel Jewelry Case

Cuyana travel jewelry case.

The detachable earrings bar is perfect for dangling or hoop earrings.

There aren’t any individual hoops for necklaces, and storing them on the provided detachable bar can lead to tangles.

Toss this pretty, petite pouch into your bag or jacket pocket for your next adventure, whether you're road-tripping or hopping on an international flight. It’s palm-sized and convenient to carry thanks to its ergonomic design, and the soft suede interior will keep your pieces protected on the go.

While there are only a few compartments—two small pouches, plus a detachable bar to store your favorite earrings and another for rings or necklaces—we found we could fit several pairs of earrings, a few necklaces, and nine (yes, nine!) rings, among other small pieces of jewelry. Light packers will love that this space-saving pick weighs less than half a pound and allows you to customize the design, as you can remove the earring and ring bar to free up space for larger pieces.

Dimensions : 1.25 x 5 x 3.5 inches | Weight : 0.33 pounds | Storage Compartments : 4 | Material : Leather, suede

Best Travel Jewelry Case for Maximalists

Calpak jewelry case.

• Ease of Use 4.5 /5

The generously-sized drawstring offers enough space to store larger pieces, plus it has mini pockets on the inside.

It’s bulky and may be better suited to longer trips than weekend getaways.

Famous for its reliable, attractive luggage and travel accessories, Calpak is a go-to brand for frequent flyers—and this jewelry case is no exception. Jewelry lovers will rejoice at the sight of the drawstring pouch, which features ample space for statement bracelets, necklaces, chunky earrings, or watches. We love that it also has small pockets folded in, which helps to reduce any possible scratching and to maximize the space. 

This large case has enough room to hold several rings on the snap-off ring bar and four necklaces on the detachable hooks—there's even a sturdy earring card ideal for studs and small hoops. Those who don't want to leave their favorite eye-catching pieces at home will appreciate carrying jewelry in this durable, faux-leather case. 

Dimensions : 7 x 5 x 2.5 inches | Weight : 0.9 pounds | Storage Compartments : 6 | Material : PU leather, polyester, ABS

Best Travel Jewelry Case for Minimalists

Levenger mini jewelry organizer.

• Capacity 4.5 /5

This compact pick has necklace hooks, an earring and ring bar, and a zippered pouch, making it perfect for just the essentials.

The earring bar isn’t spaced far enough apart for wider studs.

Small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, this ultra-lightweight and dainty case is ideal for anyone looking to keep a few favorite pieces from tangling or scratching without adding any bulk to their compact carry-on . Perfect for short trips or minimalists, this mini organizer has two hooks and a catchall pouch for necklaces, a small zippered pouch for bracelets or large earrings, a tiny removable ring bar, and a detachable earring bar that can fit two pairs of smaller earrings.

While we wish the stud holes were farther apart (you can only fit dainty studs or one pair of chunkier earrings), we could store larger hoops in the pouch. It comes in five colorful styles, and we found the leather exterior soft and scratch-resistant, while the suede interior helped protect our pieces. 

Dimensions : 4.25 x 1 x 4.5 inches | Weight : 0.25 pounds | Storage Compartments : 3 | Material : Pebbled leather, microsuede

• Despite its small size, this case has room for all types of jewelry, including rings and earrings. PHOTO: Real Simple / Joy Kim
• The center pouch keeps bracelets and larger earrings contained. PHOTO: Real Simple / Joy Kim
• The pouch makes this jewelry case even more versatile, as many smaller cases don’t have something similar. PHOTO: Real Simple / Joy Kim
• The microsuede lining and gold hardware give this jewelry case a high-end feel. PHOTO: Real Simple / Joy Kim
• The best part? It’s small enough to fit in a suitcase, backpack, or purse to make traveling with jewelry easier. PHOTO: Real Simple / Joy Kim

The Mark & Graham Small Travel Jewelry Case is our top pick thanks to its stylish and sturdy construction, handy mirror, and how well it kept our jewelry secure when we jostled it around during testing. If you're shopping on a budget, opt for the Bagsmart Jewelry Organizer Bag , which has five compartments for all your favorite pieces.

We tested 25 portable jewelry cases for this article, packing up each piece with the same array of jewelry—three necklaces, four earrings, three rings, two bracelets, and one watch—noting if it all fit or if we could comfortably add in even more pieces. 

Next, we tested for durability and protective features by vigorously shaking the cases and throwing them up in the air and onto the ground, checking to see how securely they kept our pieces in place and whether anything became broken or tangled in the process. 

Finally, we evaluated how easy it was to load pieces into the case or remove them, particularly regarding detachable ring rods and earring posters. The jewelry cases that scored the highest across our categories—ease of use, capacity, design, performance, and overall value—earned a spot on this list. 

How to Shop for a Travel Jewelry Case Like a Pro

Depending on the type of jewelry you wear and the trips you expect to take, compare different case types to find the best pick for you. For short weekend trips, a small palm-sized piece should suffice. But if you're spending weeks abroad, you may need a large-capacity jewelry travel case with more organizational features. 

If you have a lot of jewelry or prefer bigger pieces, opt for a case with plenty of compartments. For instance, those who frequently wear hoops might find that a small earring placard designed for studs won’t suffice—you’ll want ample pouches or zippered pockets that could hold your go-to earrings.

If you tend to travel with just the essentials—maybe a few dainty rings, thin necklaces, and small stud or hoop earrings—then a smaller case like the Levenger Carrie Mini Jewelry Organizer will do the trick. For statement jewelry lovers, a larger case like the Kendra Scott Medium Travel Jewelry Case can properly store your hefty pieces.

Storage Compartments

The best jewelry travel cases “have several compartments to keep the pieces from touching each other and to limit as much scratching as possible,” says Beutel. There are several compartment types too, including pockets, pouches, necklace hooks, ring pillows, and more. If you wear a lot of rings, consider a ring pillow or ring bar—the former allows you to remove them individually, while the latter requires you to remove the bar and the rings on it to select the one you want. 

Beutel recommends cases with a hearty, protective exterior—think leather or PU leather—which will keep your jewelry safe in your bag even if it gets tossed around at baggage claim. For the interior, he prefers suede lining, as it’s non-abrasive and prevents scratching or dulling.

More Jewelry Cases for Travel to Consider

Mejuri Travel Case : Mejuri is best known for its dainty, everyday jewelry—and that’s what this tiny, trendy case is designed for. It’s great for minimalists and we love the streamlined design, but the price tag seemed too high for how little space it offers (there’s only room for four necklaces, three pairs of studs, and a few slim rings). 

Bagsmart Jewelry Organizer Roll : This budget-friendly soft-sided case boasts a range of compartments to keep jewelry organized and can accommodate quite a range of pieces, but inherently offers less protection than a sturdy leather case. The inner material is also far less soft than the suede lining. 

Questions You Might Ask

Is it ok to store all your jewelry together when traveling.

“From an organizational perspective, it’s definitely a good idea to have all your jewelry in the same place,” says Beutel, however, “every piece should be separated to a certain degree to avoid any potential scratching.”

Look for cases with hooks for necklaces, pillows or rods for rings, and small compartments or pouches for other large pieces to ensure everything has a designated place.

Can you use a jewelry travel case for everyday storage?

At home, keeping your pieces in their original packaging is preferred. “In an ideal world, one would pack their pieces in the original cases, but of course, that’s normally tough to do traveling,” Beutel says.

However, many travel cases can store your essential pieces at home and on the go, reducing the need to pack and unpack between trips. For extensive jewelry collections or statement pieces, consider a larger storage option designed for everyday use, which can typically accommodate and display more jewelry.

What are some alternatives to travel jewelry cases?

If you can't get your hands on a travel jewelry case before your trip, Beutel suggests rolling your jewelry in a soft cloth. “Nothing abrasive like wool or canvas," he says. "A hand towel or a shirt works wonders.” While these won’t provide as much protection for your pieces as a proper case, they can help prevent your pieces from getting damaged while in transit.

This article was written by Sophie Dodd , a contributing writer for Real Simple who covers travel, lifestyle, and home goods. To write this article, she evaluated our test results, which reflected our experiences with the jewelry cases after packing them with a range of pieces, tossing them around, and exploring how easy or tedious it was to put in and take out different pieces. She also spoke with Bennett Beutel , a product lead at Tiffany’s Jewelry Design and Innovation Workshop , about what to look for when shopping for travel jewelry cases and how to protect your pieces on the go.

Why Trust Byrdie

Byrdie / Kristin Kempa

The last thing anyone wants to do while getting ready (especially on vacation) is spending time untangling a necklace . If you don’t have a well-organized travel jewelry case, chances are you find yourself in this situation more often than not. Since jewelry is an important part of a travel capsule wardrobe , it's just as important to invest in a quality jewelry case that'll keep your precious pieces protected and organized.

We put more than two dozen to the test to find the best option for you, evaluating each one based on its design, capacity, ease of use, performance, and value. We filled them up with a variety of jewelry, shook them around to see how the contents held up and tested what’s it like to use them. From affordable and compact options to personalized picks and more, we’re rounding up the travel jewelry cases that impressed us the most, and therefore, we believe are worth your money.

Best Overall

Calpak jewelry case.

Material: Faux leather and faux suede | Dimensions: 7" x 5" x 2.5" | Color Options: Black, Caramel + more

If minimalism is not your M.O. when it comes to jewelry, this travel case is for you. It comes with tons of storage options—from necklace hooks and a 28-hole earring card to a ring rod and a large pouch lined with pockets. You can take multiple pieces of each jewelry type with you, and we love that the large drawstring bag attached to the case is lined with pockets for extra storage and organization. We found that it was easy to pack and unpack, and everything remained in place when we shook it around. Though we wish it was a bit slimmer for more compact and lightweight packing, the design is pleasing and functional, and it’s not overly heavy. An added bonus is that it comes in neutral shades and limited-edition pops of color.

Best for Short Trips

Cuyana travel jewelry case.

Material: Italian pebbled leather and suede | Dimensions: H 1.25" x W 5" x D 3.5" | Color Options: Black, Soft Rose + more

When we first got our hands on it, we didn’t imagine that such a small case would be all that useful—but we were wrong. The compact design isn’t just chic and adorable, but it’s also quite functional for storing a few pieces of jewelry for a quick trip. It has detachable ring and earring holders (which makes putting jewels in and taking them out fast and easy), as well as two pockets to hold bracelets or other pieces. The ring rod can also be used to hang necklaces, though we do wish it provided necklace storage that was a bit better at keeping them in place. Overall, it’s compact and well-designed, and the leather and suede materials feel smooth and durable.

Best for Everyday Pieces

Levenger mini jewelry organizer.

Material: Pebbled leather | Dimensions: 4 ¼" W x 1" D x 4 ½" H | Color Options: Grape, Chilli Pepper + more

If you’re someone that doesn’t stray from your go-to jewelry pieces, there’s no need to add bulk to your bag by getting a large jewelry case. This one is perfect for minimalists because it’s ultra-compact. But don’t let the tiny design fool you, it provides excellent organization and protection for your jewelry.

It has removable panels for earrings and rings that feature secure snaps, snap hooks to prevent necklaces from getting tangled, an open pouch for chunkier pieces, and a zipper pouch. It’s very simple to pack and grab your pieces out of it on the go, and we were impressed by how well everything stayed in place. It’s also made with pebbled leather which resists scratches and scuffs, and the mini wallet-like design is easy to pop into your purse or even your makeup bag .

Best Budget

Bagsmart jewelry organizer bag.

Material: Polyester | Dimensions: 9.8'' L x 6.1'' W x 1.9'' H | Color Options: Lake Blue, Black + more

Amazon has tons of travel and storage items, and this travel jewelry case is a great one for anyone on the hunt for an affordable and accessible option. It’s spacious without being too clunky or heavy, and it features different storage options. It has snap hooks to keep necklaces straight, ring rods, an earring card, and plenty of pockets. It kept everything organized and in place during our test, and while it doesn’t feel the most durable or extravagant as others we tested, the functionality and price point make it easy for us to recommend.

Best Personalized

Mark & graham small travel jewelry case foil debossed.

Material: Pebbled vegan leather | Dimensions: 4.5" W x 4.5 D" x 2.25" H | Color Options: Black, Orchid + more

This option is best for short trips or minimalists, and we think it’s a fantastic gifting option for birthdays, bridesmaids, or that friend that seems to always be on another trip. It can be customized with a name or monogram in a few different fonts and in gold or silver lettering. The case also comes in tons of colors—everything from black and caramel to vibrant shades of orange and green.

As for the design itself, we like how compact it is while still offering various storage options. It has cushioned rows to store earrings, small sections for rings, and hooks for necklaces. It’s definitely better for storing small pieces like rings and earrings, though you can fit one or two bracelets and necklaces in it. We also appreciate that it has a built-in divider with a mirror and the materials feel durable.

Kendra Scott Medium Travel Jewelry Case

Material: Polyurethane, 100% polyester Lining | Dimensions: 8"L x 5.5"D x 2.5"H | Color Options: Lilac, Taupe + more

Another option for those planning on traveling with a lot of jewelry, this one from Kendra Scott is great for storing earrings, rings, bracelets, and chunky necklaces that aren’t prone to tangling. We wish it had better storage to keep necklaces from knotting up, but we do love how much storage there is for everything else. There are tons of rows to place earrings, and the separate compartments at the bottom are nice for keeping medium and large pieces organized. We also appreciate that it comes with a removable pouch and the design is sturdy and easy to pack and unpack. It’s just a bit heavy for traveling with (especially for storing in carry-on luggage), but it’s a nice option if you have a lot of jewelry and accessories to take with you. It’s also fitting if you want a case to organize your jewelry at home—the design is simple and would look nice on your dresser.

Vee & Co. Small Travel Jewelry Case

Material: Vegan leather | Dimensions: 3.94" D x 3.94" W x 1.97" H | Color Options: Blue, White + more

If you’re looking for an affordable and compact travel jewelry case that will keep your collection super organized, we highly recommend checking out this one. Though it’s small, it’s well-designed to fit earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets—they all have a designated place. We do appreciate that the earring card features a mirror in the center which is convenient to have on hand while traveling. We had no issues with the jewelry moving around during our shake test, and we felt that it was intuitive to pack and easy to get the pieces out when needed.

What to Look for in a Travel Jewelry Case

• Organizational features: All travel jewelry cases have some storage organizational features, but some are far better than others. The right one for you will largely depend on what type of jewelry you wear and how much you’ll be taking with you, but generally, it’s wise to look for things like ring rods, earring cards, and necklace hooks.
• Size: Consider the size of a jewelry case wisely—especially when it’s for travel. You’ll want something that can fit everything you want to bring, but you’ll want to avoid options that are unnecessarily bulky or heavy.

This answer depends on what type of jewelry you’re traveling with, but in general, it’s wise to secure each piece in a travel case rather than throwing it all in a loose bag or compartment which will likely lead to damage and tangles. For necklaces specifically which are prone to knotting, look for a travel case that has snap hooks to keep them straight.

It’s always wise to pack your jewelry in your travel tote or carry-on luggage that way you can ensure you know where it is at all times—especially if it’s expensive or sentimental. If you pack it in your checked bag, you take the rise that the airline loses your bag along with the jewelry inside.

21 Best Travel Jewelry Cases That Make Organization Easy

Add some tangle-free solutions to your luggage

Every product on this page was chosen by a Harper's BAZAAR editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

Traveling with jewelry is always a bother. Necklace stacks easily become a tangled mess in security lines, or in the packing cubes of carry-on bags. It’s hard to not only store your favorite earrings and rings but also secure them, so you don’t lose your most prized possessions while away from home. The best way to insure that doesn’t happen is simply to invest in a travel jewelry case—something you’ve probably told yourself you’d buy multiple times but just haven’t gotten around to yet. “Working across the jewelry industry, I’ve gotten used to being on the move with jewelry in tow,” Abigail Donaldson, content and project manager at De Beers Group , tells Bazaar . “Whether it’s hand-carrying one-of-a-kind pieces to a cover shoot, traveling with samples for a special project, or packing vintage finds from a trip abroad with loved ones, I’ve come to learn the importance of keeping jewelry safe in transit.” Donaldson’s solution? Travel jewelry cases. “My mom always told me traveling with jewelry is safest when it’s as close to you as possible, either on your body or in your carry-on,” Donaldson says. “If you plan to bring multiple pieces on a trip, a good case is so important for keeping everything secure and intact.” If you haven’t shopped for a case before or are simply looking to upgrade, she recommends a few key essentials to ensure the best fit. “The fundamentals are portable size, separate compartments to prevent tangling, a bright color which is easy to spot, hard case exterior in a durable material, soft protective interior to prevent scratches, and a good quality fastening to keep everything secure,” she says. “Then, of course, creative details and a style which speaks to you make the purchase fun and personal.” The destination can also dictate the jewelry case you will be using. “For a short or weekend trip with a carry-on , I would recommend keeping your jewelry case in a zippered or otherwise secure handbag, like you do with a wallet or passport,” Donaldson says. “Jewelry has huge sentimental value for many people, so to avoid heartbreak I wouldn’t risk leaving it in checked baggage for the airline to lose!” And if you are traveling with fine jewelry, Donaldson recommends designs that are rectangular or box-shaped, which will stack well with other items in a small hotel safe. Below, the 21 best travel jewelry cases to shop now—including some of Donaldson’s personal favorites.

Anya Hindmarch Leather-Trimmed Nylon Pouch

“No one does organization like Anya!” Donaldson says. “Her pieces have excellent hardware, and many feature witty labels and charming accents.” Multiple zipped compartments make this one ideal for storage on the go. “The nylon in this case makes it light and practical, and I love the ample storage space for each jewelry category, especially the earring slots with room for multiple statement pairs.”

Dimensions: 5.1" H x 7.9" W x 2.8" D

Materials: Nylon, goat leather

Colors: Black

Paravel Jewelry Case

“For the conscious traveler, Paravel’s jewelry case features their signature Ecocraft Canvas, which is spill-proof and stain-repellent, not to mention made from eight recycled plastic bottles,” Donaldson says. “The zippered hard exterior and internal drawstring pouch keep things extra secure.” This case also has sizable internal pockets for larger items, plus a snap compartment for smaller things, like rings or earring studs.

Dimensions: 3.6" H x 5.6" D

Materials: Ecocraft Canvas

Colors: Scout tan, domino black
