Mostly I think it's a bad idea to take your jewelry with you on vacation. Strangers don't care, nor remember how you look and friends don't either, so why worry about valuables in unfamiliar settings with too many competing distractions?On vacation, my habit is to wear a pair of earrings and a ring I never take off, even when retiring to bed. I don't want to stress about hotel safes or leaving gold and gemstones behind in a hotel room. If staying in the home of family or friends, however, I might bring a little more bling if there's a compelling reason ... although even then I prefer inexpensive pieces that can be lost. Frankly, while on vacation, I have no desire to be a jewelry minder.
Yet, there might be rare occasions where you need to wear something glittery. In such instances, I love the above inexpensive, scratch-resistant (1) CE (Case Elegance) Travel Jewelry Organizer. First of all, it's real leather with a sturdy interior that costs the same as vegan leather.
Inside, there's plenty of room and compartments to separate and protect everything you might wear: necklaces, rings, earrings, and bracelets. I think you could get away with fitting it inside a tote or large purse, and certainly, it's compact enough to lock inside a suitcase or room safe. It's good value for the money!
I doubt I'd spend double, yet I like the (2) Saffiano Leather Travel Jewelry Wallet even better since it, too, has all the features to separate your necklaces, smaller earrings, rings, and bracelets. It holds less than the structured case and yet folds to fit inside almost any purse. Not the steal in price as the 1st large case, but reasonable enough for real leather.My next recommendation requires thinking outside of the box ... it's dirt cheap and even more portable. On vacation wear your necklace and watch or bracelet that you never take off and take up to 7 pairs of interchangeable rings and/or earrings with you in a (3) plastic pillbox that you can easily carry inside your handbag. It costs $1 at a dollar store. Brilliant, no? Without a doubt, Coach has a gorgeous pillbox, but instead of purchasing it, take the money and buy one of Couch's regular handbags. You don't need a $50+ leather case to house a pillbox. We can simply gaze at it as eye candy for a while.😍 My motto is, "Don't buy pretty."
Hopefully, you now have 3 useful and inexpensive suggestions to keep jewelry safe while on vacation. Still, I think the best advise of all is to leave the jewelry at home! And yet, worst-case scenario, I suppose if your house is burglarized while out of town, you'll be happy you brought a few pieces with you.🙂
