Egg cartons

If you eat eggs regularly then this is a very cheap way to store your jewellery whilst moving. Simply empty the eggs out and place rings or bracelets in each section. You can also do this with necklaces by threading the chain of the necklace through the holes in the top of the egg carton and clasp it there, keeping the rest of the necklace in the egg carton. This allows you to store multiple necklaces in one place without getting them all tangled up.

Ends of toilet rolls

This works best for bracelets and necklaces. All you need to do is slip your bracelet or necklace through the toilet roll and clasp it on the other side. This can hold multiple pieces of jewellery and will stop the chains from getting muddled up.

Straws

Straws can be used to keep your necklaces organised and separate from each other during the move. Thread the chain through the whole of the straw and clasp it on the other side. You can then place these straws inside of a bag or a small box to keep them all safe. Make sure you wrap them in something soft or line the box so that they don’t get crushed or damaged in any way.

Business cards or any spare cards

Earrings can be poked through any sort of card to ensure that they are safely transported. Just make a hole and clasp the earing to the card. This will ensure that all of your earrings are kept in one place. You can then place this into a box or a bag to ensure it is kept even safer.

Sandwich bags
