Travelling with jewellery - how to pack it safely?

[BrilloFad]

I'm going on holiday, a sort of once in a lifetime style trip. I want to make sure all the photos we take look as good as they can so I'm taking a lot of care over what outfits I choose rather than my usual bunging a few pairs of shorts and the odd sun dress into a suitcase.

To complete outfits I am packing several necklaces, nothing expensive, just costume jewellery. How do I pack them so they don't just tangle into one massive ball of necklace? Is there a way of packing them that keeps them in one piece?

At the moment I'm thinking each one in a separate sandwich bag or something?

You know what, putting them in a separate sandwich bag isn't a bad idea! I will try that next time.

I always have this problem, I usually just put them into a little make up bag but theres always some that seem to get tangled.

This article gives some good tips! Although it looks time consuming :-/

I have a craft box like this that I travel with my jewellery in. Keeps it all nice and seperate, and you can move the dividers around in it to suit

I have a jewellery roll that has clips for each necklace

That's maybe a bit big for your needs but you can get smaller ones... and fancy ones etc.

Where are you going OP?

I know some one who lays out all here clothes for each day/evening with accessories and takes a photo on her phone
I think a jewellery tool or even sandwich bags would do
Though muji do some good things so might be worth a look

I wish you hadn't suggested that.... it hadn't occurred to me until now....

Would this work with regular clingfilm?

The clingfilm thing works perfectly. They can't move about so can't get tangled and they pack flat so it is perfect.

That's a brilliant idea, about the clingfilm. My favourite necklace is seemingly designed to instantly knot itself impenetrably as soon as my back is turned. Will try the clingfilm trick

So Brillo are you taking photos........;-)
