You can use regular plastic wrap or press and seal plastic wrap for this method of storing necklaces.
When traveling with more than 6 necklaces, you may want to split the necklaces onto 2 separate sheets of plastic wrap as this can be easier to deal with. If so, repeat the directions for each batch of necklaces.
Don’t forget that plastic wrap is super sticky. Do your best to carefully remove it from the roll while holding onto each cut edge so it doesn’t become unruly.
Be sure the necklaces between the plastic wrap stay separated. Use your fingers to adjust the necklaces as needed.
Since you have already secured each necklace within the plastic wrap, they will remain separated and safe when rolled up.
The type of plastic straw used will depend on the size of your necklaces. Thin straws will work well for thin chain necklaces, while straws with a larger opening will be best for necklaces that have more bulk.
If your necklace has a pendant, slide it towards one end of your necklace so you can thread most of the chain through the straw. Leave the pendant outside of the straw, as it probably won’t fit.
The straw ensures that the necklace won’t get tangled with itself or another piece of jewelry. It will keep the necklace pulled taught and secure.
Use a large Ziploc bag to store your necklaces. Once you have placed the necklaces into the bag, roll the bag up so the necklaces don’t move around in transit. If you are only bringing a few necklaces, try dropping them into a plastic toothbrush holder to keep them safe and secure.
You can also use a paper towel tube for long chunky necklaces. Cut the roll down to the right size if necessary.
If you are going on a leisurely trip, try not to bring anything you are going to worry about losing. Bring a few neutral pieces that will work with multiple outfits but that you don’t have a lot of emotional or financial attachment to. Consider leaving particularly sentimental pieces (like wedding rings) at home. Wear a less valuable alternative on your ring finger during your trip.
It may be smart to take photos of the necklaces before you leave for your trip. If you misplace jewelry that is insured, photographs can be helpful when making a claim.
Carrying the necklaces in your purse or personal bag is your best bet when it comes to traveling with expensive necklaces.
