Why are travel jewelry cases important?
Whether you're traveling internationally via plane or embarking on a cross-country journey by train, a travel jewelry case will surely come in handy. But why are they so important?
"I’m sure many readers have experienced the tangled necklace debacle when they just throw their necklaces directly into their suitcase or in a Ziploc bag," says travel expert and CMO of Florida Panhandle, Brittany Betts. "No one wants to go through the trouble of untangling a necklace for 20 minutes when they’re traveling," she explains.
"Jewelry cases also provide just a better organization for travel. You never lose your jewelry when it’s in a travel case, and it’s all just there readily available for you to accessorize," suggests Betts. "Finally, another benefit to travel jewelry cases is that they prevent your jewelry from rubbing other jewelry and getting all scratched up," she says.
Liz Teich, style expert and founder of The New York Stylist, agrees with Betts that "you will want to look for something that protects your jewelry while it’s packed and also keeps everything from being jumbled/tangled or lost."
What are the best materials for travel jewelry cases?
When searching for the right travel jewelry case for you, it is important to, firstly, consider the material or fabric. "Leather is probably my favorite material for travel jewelry cases," shares Betts. "Leather is sturdy and durable, which you will need if it’s going to be traveling around with you on an airplane and possibly getting dinged up inside your suitcase or bag," she says.
"Leather is also optimal because it’s easier to clean than some of the other materials like suede or nylon," explains Betts.
"Hard leather cases are always luxe and protective," Teich concurs. However, if you’re tight on space, Teich says you can opt for a jewelry case that is made from fabric and rolls up.
