To prevent tangled necklaces in your suitcase, several tricks exist: threading the chain through a straw or securing it between two layers of plastic wrap. But the safest solution remains to reuse the Maison de l'Amour case, provided with every order, specially designed to protect your jewelry. And for light travel, opt for our stainless steel jewelry that resists pool and sea water, saving you from packing too much!
1. The hotel arrival nightmare
It's a vacation classic: you open your suitcase to get ready for your first evening, you take out your toiletry bag, and there, your three favorite necklaces have fused together to form a giant, impossible-to-untangle 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 tips for storing your jewelry securely.
2. DIY "System D" Tricks (Straw and Film)
If you don't have a travel jewelry box on hand, here are two tried-and-tested grandma's tricks:
The Straw Trick
Take a simple cardboard or plastic straw. Open your necklace, thread one end of the chain through the straw until it comes out the other side, then close the clasp. Your chain will remain rigid and will never get tangled again.
The Stretch Film (Cellophane) Trick
Spread a sheet of food plastic wrap on a table. Lay your necklaces flat on it, spaced apart. Cover with a second sheet of film, and press gently. Your jewelry will be "vacuum-sealed" and won't move an inch in your bag.
3. The chic and effortless solution: Your Maison de l'Amour Case
Why bother with plastic when you can do things with elegance? 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 and protective case. This packaging is not meant to be thrown away! It has been specially designed to be reused. Compact, sturdy, and with a soft lining, it's the perfect travel companion. Simply slip your jewelry set inside before closing your suitcase, and find it intact upon arrival.
4. The ultimate secret: Travel light with all-terrain jewelry
The best way to avoid tangled jewelry is to not pack too much! But how do you do that when you want a look for the beach, one for the pool, and one for the restaurant in the evening?
