Precious Ideas for Moving Jewelry Safely

Some of the most precious and valuable items in your home may also be some of the smallest items you need to move. Unless you are Mr. T, moving jewelry safely won’t require special attention for its bulk, but it does require extra attention for its packing, packaging and transport.

Moving jewelry

Even with moving insurance and a trustworthy move crew, we understand some hesitancy when it comes to handing over small, easily-lost and expensive items. If you have priceless gems or family heirlooms that are impossible to replace, it’s best to pack and transport them yourself to ensure moving jewelry safely happens the right way.

How to pack jewelry for moving

If you have a sturdy jewelry box that will hold all your precious items, consider bubble wrapping the box itself and packing it in your own vehicle prior to the move.

For semiprecious or costume jewelry you may not need to be too concerned about its safety. Simply separate your items, seal them individually in pieces of bubble wrap, and pack them along with other items in a clearly marked box.

Use a fishing tackle box

If you would prefer to move jewelry safely in a more stealthy (and efficient) manner, you might invest in a sturdy fisherman’s tackle box. These boxes come equipped with plenty of small compartments and are a smart choice for anyone who wants to avoid the hassles of tangled jewelry.
