Moving? Keep Your Jewelry Safe

Moving is a fact of life and when you have a large collection of jewelry, it can be extremely stressful. After you have all of your jewelry organized in your jewelry boxes from Chasing Treasure, it can be challenging to pack it up and move it. Here are some tricks for moving large collections without having troubles with tangles, breaks, and loss.


What Not to Do


If you love your jewelry collection as much as we love our collections of jewelry boxes, we understand your frustration with moving it. Instead of wrapped jewelry in rolls, plastic wrap, or plastic bags, there are several other ideas that work. You also cannot simply pack your jewelry in our armoire or boxes, because the truck ride will disrupt the pieces inside of them. Those large collections of jewelry need to be packed with care and this could take time. (But, it is worth every second).


What to Buy

The best tools for packing jewelry include small jewelry boxes and organizers.





How to Pack Necklaces and Bracelets


The most frustrating part of moving is packing and unpacking necklaces and bracelets so they do not tangle. Plastic straws are the best way to keep them from tangling. Pull one necklace or bracelet through one straw, then wrap it with a paper towel. Tie off the ends of the paper towels with yarn or string to the necklaces do not slide out. Obviously, this only works for small chains, but these are the ones that are the most frustrating to untangle.


Bracelets and necklaces that cannot be stored in straws need to be put in small jewelry boxes or other small pouches that you have around the house. Cuffs and other items that can easily be scratched can also be wrapped in paper towels and put in paper bags or plastic bags. Then they can be put in cosmetic pouches or other padded pieces.


How to Pack Earrings


Earrings can also be challenging to move. Smaller earrings can be put in bead organizers, the small acrylic boxes with individual compartments. These will keep them from getting mixed up and shaken up during the actual move. Larger earrings can be put in compartmentalized boxes with bigger holes. More valuable earrings should be packed individually, but everyday pieces could be placed with a few sets to conserve space. To keep the boxes from bouncing around in the moving truck, you can pack them with blankets or soft items of clothes, like sweatshirts.


Take Your Best Pieces with You


Your best pieces should be placed in small travel jewelry cases. These should not be packed in a truck, but should travel with you in your car.

Traveling with Jewelry!

Travel Jewelry Case

If you’re planning to travel this summer, whether it be a road trip to another state or a grand holiday abroad, you need to make the most of the packing space you have. ChasingTreasure offers a wonderful array of jewelry cases perfect for travel. Available in different sizes and styles, there’s a case for any size jewelry collection. Consider these tips to ensure that your jewelry stays safe and well-organized on your journey.

-Pack with outfits in mind, and choose which accessories and jewelry pieces you’ll bring based on these outfits. Pieces that mix-and-match well work best, as do pieces that transition well from daytime looks to nighttime looks.

-The size of your case is important. It could be small enough to fit in your purse or carry-on, making sure that your precious jewelry collection is never too far from you. Or it could be larger, accommodating a large collection while still fitting into your luggage.

-Consider investing in a locking travel jewelry case from ChasingTreasure for even more peace of mind. It’s a theft deterrent and ensures that your case won’t accidentally jostle open while in your luggage.

-When going through airport security, consider keeping the jewelry you’re wearing on your person. Never leave unattended belongings in the bins.

-Use your hotel’s safe to keep your collection even more secure.

-Remember to leave some room in your jewelry case for new pieces you’ll buy on your trip!

Back to School Gifts - Travel Jewelry Case

With the approach of the school year, many daughters will begin their education all over again as college freshman, many of them will leave home for the first time, bound for college.

A unique and personal, as well as practical, going-away gift is a jewelry case.  There are three equally important considerations in determining which type and style to give.

The first is transportability.  The jewelry box should be large enough to handle rings, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, and small enough to fit easily into travel luggage.  Finally, it should be unobtrusive in a small dorm room.

The second important selection aspect is durability.  Sturdy hinges and clasps are critical.  While wood connotes the most luxurious jewelry boxes, in this instance, you should consider plastic covered by a sturdy leather or faux leather that is scratch and water-resistant.

The final aspect is security.  This means a robust lock combined with the durable structure.  Almost all travel cases have a lock, as do most non-travel cases.  If you choose a case not specifically designed for travel, though, be sure that all drawers and opening tops lock.

Styles can vary, with the central feature being whether it has a handle.  These are typical of travel cases where constant movement is expected (overnight/weekend stays), and can be practical in extended stays as well, especially if the case is to be stored in a drawer or under a dorm-room bed and needs to be routinely moved.

When you purchase a jewelry box as a going-away-to-college gift, don’t forget a nameplate with a personalized message, to help her stay close to you while she’s away!
