Packing for a vacation can be stressful. You go back and forth on what to bring, how much to bring, and despite not wearing that top for the last two years, you bring it anyways.

How to Pack Your Jewelry With Bubble Wrap
All you need is plastic wrap and your jewelry piece for this trick! Simply place your jewelry inside the bubble wrap and fold the sides up.
We suggest not placing multiple pieces of jewelry inside the same bubble wrap, risking entanglement.
To avoid loss or theft, make sure you keep the bag that has your jewelry in your sight at all times. When flying, pack jewelry in your carry-on, not your checked bag.
