Back in my teenage years, my sweet grandmother gifted me her dear friend Laura’s jewelry case—embroidered in bright, baby pink with Laura’s written across it—a truly from-the-heart gift. While I still occasionally use it, when I do, it is purely out of sentimentality. Given its simple, vintage design of only two large zipper compartments, there’s a serious lack of structure and organization. The truth is, the pouch is far from the sleek designs available today: like most travel accessories, travel jewelry cases and pouches have come a long way since dear Laura’s—and have evolved into stylish and conveniently compartmentalized keepers to pack our most cherished pieces.
The best travel jewelry cases don’t just store our pieces, but are travel organizers, designed to create a sense of security and ease, ensuring that our rings, necklaces, bracelets, and even watches or cuff links stay protected as well as scratch- and and tangle-free. Whether you’re the type to bring a different pair of earrings for each outfit or simply need a safe spot for your daily essentials, the right case makes all the difference. Some are compact and minimalist, ideal for those who travel light, while others offer carefully designed compartments for multiple pieces—each slot and zippered section feeling intentional, like a well-thought-out home for each and every item.
From sleek and structured designs to soft, foldable pouches, there’s a case for every traveler heading to an event with all sorts of jewelry collections. Read on for the best travel jewelry cases from our favorite brands to keep your precious charms and glitzy keepsakes safe when on the go.
Nordstrom Initial Square travel case
Recommended by Condé Nast Traveler commerce editor Meaghan Kenny, this square zip-around travel case from Nordstrom is best for shorter trips, but fits a whole lot given its size. The design features three necklace loops above an elastic pouch in the top section, three compartments for bracelets, rings, and necklaces in the bottom section, and an earring plate with eight slots as a middle divider. A sweet touch: The case is customizable, to which you can monogram the front exterior with an initial of your choice.
Cuyana jewelry case
Both elegant and durable, this Cuyana case is made in Turkey with Italian pebbled leather on the exterior of its oval-shaped silhouette. Suitable for rings, earrings, and necklaces, the case is lined in suede throughout and inclusive of a suede strap made on the top flap for either a set of rings, or up to two necklaces (the elastic pocket right underneath keeps them from getting tangled). The main body of the case includes a detachable earring strap, which can hold three pairs of earrings.
Bagsmart hanging jewelry organizer
This Bagsmart jewelry travel case is best to pack on longer trips or for those with heaps of jewelery options to style with every outfit. While there are removable pockets for adjustable capacity (and added zippers for loss prevention), this case Includes eight tangle-free necklace holders in the top compartment, two padded bands for earrings or rings, one bend-resistant leather board for a whopping 30 pairs of earrings, six medium pockets to separate each of your dangle earrings, and four large pockets on the bottom for any other large pieces of jewelry you might have. Its exterior is made of a soft and fluffy padding protection as well as a water-resistant fabric. When in use, you can use one of the handles to hang the case open on a wall hook or hanger. And thanks to its thoughtful design, no matter how much jewelry you pack, if you utilize all of the provided features accordingly, the bag doesn’t grow in bulkiness. Other colors include a vibrant aqua blue and light dusty pink.
Missoma jewelry role
Sustainably handmade in India with natural leather, in a colorway inspired by lapis gemstone, is this chic and sweet jewelry roll. Its sleek shape makes it easy to fit in any luggage, backpack, or purse. On its suede interior, you’ll find a place to peg five necklaces or chain bracelets apart from one another (to avoid any tangling). Under a piece of suede lining, there’s a slot for six pairs of earrings as well as a ring holder that could, ideally, fit up to five or six pieces as well. Towards the bottom, there is a separate zipper pouch for any other smaller pieces you may have to pack (though it’s not the best place to store necklaces as they would get tangled here). And if you wish to add a personal touch–which always makes for a sweet gift—monogramming this case is free. (Though, note, the monogram may take up to two days more to deliver for processing.) While this lapis blue color is super stylish and unique, you can also purchase the case in deep emerald green or black onyx.
Missoma velvet jewelry box
Another option from Missoma is this fabulous, luxe, green velvet jewelry box. The base of the box features six compartments best for earrings or bracelets—and one of which has three slots to secure your rings in. On the top of the box, there are two hooks with a pouch underneath to secure necklaces in place (to which you can layer two or three on the hooks—depending on the chains’ thickness). There’s also a large mirror, helpful for getting ready for an event or doing your makeup on the go, as well as a golden embroidery. Given its boxy shape, this travel companion would probably best be packed in a larger carry-on or checked luggage (though depending on how valuable the contents are, you may prefer to keep it on your person at all times). It’s almost six inches long, seven inches wide, and nearly two inches deep.
Tumi Voyageur Vevay jewelry portfolio
A light, flat, and convenient size for totes and handbags, this Tumi zip case stores and protects all types and sizes of jewelry when traveling. The zip entry opens up to the main compartment, where you’ll find a mesh zipper compartment for rings, earrings, or bracelets; two leather straps with strap closers to hold earrings, bracelets, or necklaces; a ring roll with a snap; and another elastic pocket with microfiber lining. There’s also a mini carabiner clip to hook its exterior—which can hook onto any secure, separate loops in your larger bags. The product design features a water and stain resistant coating, engineered to instil longevity of the fabric’s high quality finish—which will permanently protect the integrity of this case for the long haul.
Abask Connolly cufflinks box
The brand Connolly is known for its highly-finished leatherwork in luxury retail since 1878. Especially when heading off to a destination wedding, the brand’s travel cuff links box is a sleek and intentional choice. With two sections to separate your choice of cuff link, once you travel with this pick, you’ll question how you ever packed without it. Not to mention, the red-stained leather color makes for a timeless choice. It can double as an earring or ring holder, too.
Wolf British Racing watch stand
Designed specifically for watches, this British racing-styled travel watch stand will make you want to purchase a new and shiny watch, itself, if you don’t already have one. Made of vegan leather, the patented design features a unique folding mechanism for fitting into the matching travel pouch, a soft padded top cushion that will keep your timepiece scratch-fee, as well as a secure base for security when on-the-go. Another plus: The design also includes a cuff link or coin storage tray in its base. Especially in green, this stand-to-case companion makes for a thoughtful and stylish gift for the watch aficionado in your life.
Hatori jewelry box
A more affordable travel jewelry box option is this Hatori pick from Amazon. The double layer organizer has a bottom section including seven ring rolls with three removable compartments with adjustable dividers for custom spacing of necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, and pendants. The top section offers five hooks and a lower elastic pocket to keep any hanging chains separate and untangled. Separating the two sections, flat in the middle of the box, is an earring plate that secures to the top flap when needed. It has secure fastenings for six pairs of earrings (ideally, smaller earrings that do not dangle). For its box shape, it’s a thin and portable size to pack or store in any drawer (at six inches deep, two inches wide, and just over four inches high)—made with an exterior of faux leather and a plush velvet-y interior.
Mark & Graham jewelry case
Whether at home or traveling, this medium rectangular zipper case is a delectable choice to keep jewelry stored—truly fitting in any luggage or bag. Designed with a high-quality vegan leather exterior and a soft linen lining interior, this case was purposefully created for chic and ample storage. It includes a removable double-sided pouch for earrings or bracelets, a long tab for lots of rings, and a lined tab to slot in six pairs of earrings. On the bottom, three hooks, secured with buttons, allow you to clip in necklaces or thin chain bracelets, if needed. It’s a great gifting piece: The customizable monogramming can be foil debossed or printed, and there’s no shortage of color options to choose from.
Dagne Dover Frankie jewelry case
The Frankie jewelry case by Dagne Dover is a convenient option for a pared-back jewelry collection–perfect for weekenders or jewelry that you’ll rewear through the course of your trip. Within its interior, you’ll find three silicone necklace loops alongside three microfiber elastic pockets for top-tier protection, four padded ring slots, two flat hoop loops (a unique addition compared to most jewelry cases), a separate earring strap with four holes and snap closures, and a hidden compartment for even more storage. Though, do note that the necklace loops do not come with snaps, so you’ll have to unclasp each chain that you pack. It comes in various shades that satisfyingly match other Dagne Dover luggage—and is sustainably made with a recycled polyester exterior (created by repurposing three plastic water bottles). It also comes with a complimentary dust bag.
