Travel Boxes
The simplest solution to carrying your favorite pieces of jewelry when traveling are jewelry boxes. You could either use the boxes that your jewelry came from or purchase boxes especially used for travelling.

Straws / Toilet Paper Tubes
There are not many things more annoying than untangling a necklace, especially during a time when you should be relaxing or sightseeing.

Simply slip a necklace through one opening of a straw then close the clasp.

In addition, necklaces that only require a straw can be placed inside of a toothbrush holder along with other necklaces in straws. This way, your necklaces can be held in a concentrated, and small container. This method takes up little space and you can easily carry necklaces in this manner when backpacking.
Buttons
Keeping track of your earrings can often become a nightmare. In fact, making sure you have each pair together in the same place can be tricky when traveling.

This method requires very little space and is perfect for backpacking as well.
Index Cards
Much like buttons, index cards are great tools for storing earrings. Simply poke holes into the cards using a needle and insert the earrings on the card, then seal the backs with stoppers. This method is great because it allows for a great number of earrings to be kept in one central location. You can wrap the earring in a wash cloth to ensure that they are secure and slip them in any bag. This method is also great for backpacking as well, because it is far from bulky.
