Jewelry Always Travels in Carry-On

1. The Carry-On Priority

1. Security: If your carry-on is lost or stolen, you are immediately aware and can file a report. If a checked bag is lost, you could lose your jewelry for days or weeks.
2. Accessibility: Keep your jewelry in a small, organized case within your personal carry-on item (like a purse or backpack), not a large roller bag. This allows you to keep it with you at all times, even when your main carry-on is placed in the overhead bin.

2. The Airport Security Check

When passing through airport security (TSA), do not place your high-value jewelry in a bin.

1. Best Practice: Wear the jewelry, if practical, or place the jewelry case inside a larger item (like a cosmetic bag or shoe) within your carry-on. If TSA requires a hand check, always supervise the process and ensure the security officer handles the case itself, not the jewelry inside.
