It&#8217;s really nice, with pockets for various things (larger earrings, watchbands, etc.), along with a place for post-type earrings, a wonderful way to carry necklaces tangle-free, and all sorts of things. But it&#8217;s <strong>big<\/strong>! Closed, it measures 11&#8243; x 7.5&#8243;, and it&#8217;s a whopping 15&#8243; wide when open. Granted, it&#8217;s not very thick, but it does take up a certain amount of space in a carryon bag.<\/p>\n<p>I happened upon a very old pattern on the same site, the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.byannie.com\/shop\/clpaun001-jewelry-travel-wallet-4#attr=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Jewelry Travel Wallet<\/a> (below). This bag is much smaller at 4.5&#8243; x 8.5&#8243; closed, and 12.5&#8243; x 8.5&#8243; open. This one doesn&#8217;t have all of the specialized spots for storing pieces of jewelry, but I don&#8217;t travel with (or own!) that many, anyway. I think I&#8217;ve figured out a way to keep a necklace or two from tangling, and there&#8217;s a place for earrings. I&#8217;ll have to figure out something for a spare watchband, but I think this will work! We&#8217;ll see, after a trip or two. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0343-1.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5385\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0343-1.jpeg?resize=300%2C271&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jewelry case, closed, in purple print with solid purple closure strap.\" width=\"300\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0343-1.jpeg?resize=300%2C271&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0343-1.jpeg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0342-1.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-5384\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/IMG_0342-1.jpeg?resize=252%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Jewelry case, open, in purple print.
