Now that we have our supplies ready, it’s time to get down to the nitty-gritty.
Step by Step – How to Pack Jewelry:
- Sort and Declutter: Begin by sorting through your jewelry collection. Donate or discard any pieces you no longer wear or need.
- Secure Valuables: Separate your valuable pieces such as diamonds, pearls, or heirloom jewelry. Consider keeping these with you during the move for extra security.
- Wrap Individual Pieces: For delicate items like necklaces and bracelets, wrap each piece in packing paper or bubble wrap to prevent scratches and tangles.
- Use Ziplock Bags: Place pairs of earrings or sets of jewelry in small ziplock bags to keep them together and organized.
- Straws and Cardboard: Thread necklaces through plastic straws to prevent tangling, and use cardboard pieces to secure earrings and facilitate layering.
- Pack in Small Boxes: Place wrapped jewelry into small boxes or containers. Fill any empty spaces with packing paper to prevent items from shifting during transit.
- Label Boxes: Clearly label each box with its contents and any special handling instructions. This will make unpacking a breeze once you reach your destination.
