If you will be travelling by air with your jewelry you will need
to consider a few important things. Where will you be going? How long
will you be travelling for? How much space will you be allowed? The
amount and type of jewelry you will be bringing. What is the purpose of
your travel? Will your jewelry be travelling with you for business
purposes, or is your trip for pleasure? These are a few, but very
important considerations, as they will help you in determining the type
of travel jewelry box, case, or wrap you will need. The purpose in
deciding which type of travel jewelry box/case to choose, is to make
sure your valuables are protected, so they can leave, travel and return
safely with you.
If you are traveling by air, you will want to consider the amount and weight of the jewelry, and the box itself, because of airline weight restrictions. It is recommended by the airlines to keep all valuables (including jewelry) in the cabin with you. This will count as your carry-on allowance. It will need to be light in weight but sturdy enough to protect. Meeting the requirements for carry-on baggage will also include the size of your carry-on. Will your jewelry box/case fit inside your allowed size of carry-on? If your jewelry box/case fits into your carry-on bag, place it under the seat in front of you where it will be in your view constantly. Placing it in the overhead bin, keeps it out of your view and it may get bumped around, causing damage to contents inside. Sometimes an airline might require some or all of your bags to be checked. Be prepared if this happens, check into insurance. Be aware if your bags go as checked baggage you run the risk of damage from rough handling or losing it in transit. This is another reason to check into having baggage insurance. If you are travelling frequently, a good idea is to invest in a jewelry box/case that has extra padding or foam for extra protection from being bumped around during transit.
Why is your jewelry traveling with you? If it is for personal pleasure then keep it safe and secure. But if you are traveling by air with a large amount of jewelry for business purposes, you might want to request that the security officer screen you and your jewelry and carry-on bag, in a private location. Do this before going to the metal detectors. This will maintain your privacy and security. Make sure you give yourself extra time for this. Besides safety and security, you may want to choose a jewelry box/case for presentation, layout and organization. Maybe you would like to have slide out drawers to display certain items/products. You might also want to consider boxes that have specific locks on them. Is your preference key lock or number lock?
Where are you travelling to? For the International traveler travelling with jewelry, you will need to do your homework. Now if you are thinking, I will wear my beautiful ivory jewelry since it does not contain metal and will not set off the metal detectors, think again! Different countries have issues on what can leave or enter their country. You must be able to prove that the ivory is legal under U.S. law, or you will not be able to bring it back to America if you have left home without your CITES certificate. Some countries or states, not only require permits or certificates for certain items to travel with you, but also have rules of what you can have in your possession. Your jewelry can be confiscated if it is made from whale, baleen, or walrus ivory. Although Canada and Hong Kong have the "personal baggage exemption" for such items carried in your luggage, other countries do not.
You also need to consider the type, size and amount of jewelry you are taking. Lots of smaller items like earrings, pendants and rings will need small compartments to be held securely in place to minimize getting bumped around while traveling. More room will be needed for large bulky bangles and watches. The type of gems and designs are also to be considered as some are more delicate than others and will need special cloths or padding for protection from scratches and damage caused by travel or each other.
Now the jewelry box/case itself. Do you need it lined with velvet, special fabric, plastic, or wood? If you are travelling with silver jewelry, you will not want a jewelry box lined with wool, or felt and baize that's made from it because those fabrics exude sulfur which will tarnish your silver. To keep your chains from getting tangled and knotted you might want to get special layout and roll up travel wraps to keep your chains secure inside your box. Now we can't forget about the outside of the box itself. It can be a pleasure to look at. You have many options, ranging from color, design, shape, size, layout, type of wood, fabric, and many different types of beautiful leathers.
When your jewelry returns with you in the shape that it had left with you, you know you had made a good choice in deciding which jewelry box or case to use to protect your valuables while on your journey. Remember! When in its place, it's safe in the case!
