A diamond can be a girl’s best friend...as long as she can keep it safe and avoid losing it. Enter, travel jewelry cases—like a jewelry box but mobile. Be it for actual travel or just your daily trip to the gym, every accessorized woman should have one. “Think of it as an investment that keeps your jewelry safe,” says Kate Lesher, senior vice president of Mark & Graham.
Rae Liu, co-founder of Leatherology, agrees. “Investing in a jewelry organizer is about more than just storage; it’s about preserving the pieces that mark the milestones of your life. Organizers help ensure that each piece of jewelry retains its beauty, is ready to wear, and easy to find.”
As someone who’s panicked more than once about misplacing an heirloom ring, I feel seen by this topic. While it’s especially poignant for fine jewelry collectors, costume pieces can have just as much sentimental value. “The time and effort we invest in building a jewelry collection justifies the need for a quality travel jewelry organizer,” says Kathleen Weber, Lesher’s colleague as head design manager at Mark & Graham. Liu even points out that she thinks having a case helps remind her to take especially good care of her collection. To all you ladies who store tangled necklaces in plastic sandwich bags, consider the bar raised.
Armed with advice from Lesher, Weber, and Liu, I chose the best travel jewelry cases based on their features, construction, and customer reviews; shop them all below.

Expert Tips for Buying a Travel Jewelry Case
- There are two things that Lesher says matter most: quality and design. “When you buy something that is built to last, you won’t need to purchase a new one every couple of years,” she says. “The materials of the organizer are important for both beauty and durability.” Liu echoes the importance of this. “A soft lining is also important to prevent scratches; we use microsuede on ours,” she adds. “And, of course, a secure closure, especially for any kind of travel case.”
- Lesher recommends looking for organizers with secure compartments, including the all-important feature that keeps your necklaces untangled. A well-made zipper is also crucial, she notes.
- “You’ll want to focus on an organizer with a hard case or well-padded exterior that will provide crush support while traveling in your carry-on or weekender bags,” says Weber.
- Size matters, too. You might want enough room for bangles or collar necklaces, but Weber recommends avoiding any case that wouldn’t fit in carry-on luggage. “Multiple compartments are crucial for accommodating various jewelry sizes and types,” says Liu.
