To prevent tangled necklaces in your suitcase, there are several tricks: slide the chain through a straw or trap it between two layers of plastic wrap. But the safest solution is still to reuse the Maison de l'Amour jewelry box, provided with every order and specially designed to protect your jewelry. And to travel light, choose our stainless steel jewelry, which can withstand the pool and the sea, so you won't need to bring too many pieces!
1. The Nightmare of Arriving at the Hotel
It's a vacation classic: you open your suitcase to get ready for your first evening, take out your toiletry bag, and there they are—your three favorite necklaces have fused together into a giant, impossible-to-undo knot.
Not only do you lose 30 minutes of your vacation trying to untangle them with tweezers, but you also risk breaking a delicate chain. Fortunately, there are simple tricks for storing your jewelry safely.
2. “DIY” Tricks (Straw and Cling Film)
If you don't have a travel jewelry box on hand, here are two tried-and-tested old-fashioned tricks:
The Straw Trick
Take a simple cardboard or plastic straw. Open your necklace, slide one end of the chain inside the straw until it comes out the other side, then fasten the clasp. Your chain will stay rigid and will never get tangled again.
The Cling Film (Cellophane) Trick
Spread a sheet of plastic wrap on a table. Lay your necklaces flat on top, spacing them apart. Cover them with a second sheet of plastic wrap and press gently. Your jewelry will be trapped “under vacuum” and won’t move a millimeter in your bag.
3. The chic, effortless solution: Your Maison de l'Amour Case
Why bother with plastic when you can do things elegantly? At Maison de l'Amour, we think about the complete experience.
That’s why each of our orders is carefully prepared and shipped in a luxurious, protective case. This packaging isn’t meant to be thrown away! It was specially designed to be reused. Compact, sturdy, and lined with soft material, it’s the perfect travel companion. Simply slip your jewelry set inside before closing your suitcase, and find it intact when you arrive.
4. The ultimate secret: Travel light with all-terrain jewelry
The best way to avoid tangling your jewelry is still not to bring too much! But how do you manage when you want one look for the beach, one for the pool, and one for dinner at the restaurant?
The solution is Stainless Steel. Our designs are completely waterproof. No more need to pack one necklace “that can handle anything for the day” and another “chic one for the evening.” Your Maison de l'Amour jewelry resists seawater, chlorine, and sunscreen. Keep it on from morning to night and free up space in your suitcase!
