Packing Jewelry especially necklaces

I had struggled with this for quite a while. I have several jewelry travel cases, but they still tangled.Ā  My best suggestion, is to take one gold chain and one silver chain to use with assorted pendants.Ā  I have the best luck with snake chains, because they don't tangle.Ā  Earrings I generally put in a tiny mint tin.Ā  Posts don't get bent that way.

I purchased a bag of small plastic bags in the jewelry making section of the craft store. Ā I put the necklace into the bag, leaving a small tail out then slide the bag closed. Ā By trapping a bit out of the bag it comes out not tangled. Ā Larger necklaces can be wrapped in cling film. Ā Personally I take very little jewelry with me.

A few years ago I picked up a fabric travel jewelry pouch in the travel section of the Container Store and it has worked great when I pack numerous pieces of gliltz. I frequently use Ā small satin jewelry snap envelope-like cases that you get from shops in St. Thomas - these work great for earrings, keeping pearls separate from diamonds, etc. Over the years I found I pack so much less jewelry.Ā

Here are some suggestions from DW...based on a lifetime of travel :).Ā  Depending on the length and thickness of the necklace use either a toilet paper roll (just the center cardboard tube), a paper towel tube, or a straw!Ā  Thread the necklace through the tube and clasp it on the outside.Ā  You can then put that into a ziplock bag if you think that is helpful.Ā  A few years ago I discovered a small pile of these "tubes" in a drawer and had to ask DW, "why on earth are you saving that stuff?"Ā  Live and learn :).
