The holiday season is here, along with weekend getaways and those long-awaited trips we've been planning for months.
It's time to pack, and let's face it, the same dilemma always arises: which jewelry to take with you and which is best left at home.
We want to look perfect in all our photos, but we don't want to carry unnecessary weight, risk losing our most cherished pieces, or spend hours untangling chains at the hotel.
At Anartxy, we know that traveling in style is possible if you know how to optimize your travel jewelry box.
That's why we've prepared the ultimate guide with the best stylist tips for choosing your allied designer jewelry and enjoying your destination worry-free. Take note!
Jewelry that SHOULD go in your travel suitcase
The golden rule for light travel is versatility.
You need "all-terrain" pieces that adapt to both a morning look with sneakers and a map in hand, and an elegant dinner at night.
Hoop earrings (the kings of 'street style')
Good medium or small hoop earrings are a must. They're lightweight, won't snag on your camera or backpack, and go with absolutely everything. If you're looking for a trendy touch, opt for textured or chunky hoop earrings.

Link necklaces and delicate chains for 'layering'
Instead of bringing one large, heavy necklace that only goes with one dress, bring two or three delicate steel necklaces of different lengths. You can wear them together for a sophisticated effect at dinner, or wear just one for your sightseeing days.

Stainless steel jewelry: Your best adventure companions
If there's a material made for travel, it's stainless steel or surgical steel. Why? Basically, because it's indestructible.
At Anartxy, we specialize in steel jewelry because we know it can withstand any traveler's pace: it doesn't tarnish with sweat, resists seawater, pool chlorine, thermal baths, and sun creams.
You can wear your gold or silver steel jewelry all day long without fear of losing its shine.

Jewelry that is BEST LEFT AT HOME
To travel peacefully, sometimes the best secret is knowing what to safely leave at home. Avoid unnecessary drama by removing these from your toiletry bag:
- Pieces of high sentimental or economic value: Don't take your grandmother's engagement ring or those very expensive diamond earrings. When traveling, we move in unfamiliar environments, airports, beaches... The risk of loss or theft does not outweigh the stress of constantly watching over them.
- Extremely heavy or uncomfortable XL jewelry: Those rigid statement necklaces or very long earrings that weigh on your ears will stay in your suitcase after the first day of walking. Prioritize comfort.
- Low-quality costume jewelry that oxidizes: The humidity of the coast or the summer heat can cause cheap costume jewelry to leave green stains on your skin within hours of wear. Travel with hypoallergenic and noble materials like steel.
How to organize and protect your jewelry in your suitcase
What you bring is as important as how you bring it.
Prevent your necklaces from becoming an impossible knot with these homemade tricks:
- The straw trick: Thread one end of your necklace chain through a paper straw and close it. This will keep it stretched out and it will never get tangled with other pieces.
- Individual fabric bags: Use the Anartxy pouches that come with your order to store your rings and small earrings separately. This way, you'll find them at a glance.
- The mini travel jewelry box: If you travel often, investing in a mini travel jewelry box with slots for rings and hooks for necklaces is the best decision you can make to keep your designer jewelry impeccable.

Anartxy's definitive checklist for your next destination
To make it even easier for you, here's the perfect accessory capsule for a 4 or 5-day getaway:
- A pair of all-purpose hoop earrings.
- A pair of mini stud earrings (in case you have more than one piercing or want something very minimalist).
- Two steel necklaces that can be combined with each other.
- A pair of comfortable rings that won't feel tight if your hands swell from the heat or the airplane.
