Good day pearl lovers! Any recommendations for jewelry travel cases that work well for pearls? I like to take nice jewelry when we travel and want it protected. I have found some but they mention being treated to reduce tarnish and such. I worry about chemicals harming pearls. Thank you
 
There are some variables you didn't mention. Is this a long trip? Flying or cruising? Special events?
In general, pearls do not like plastic bags but they'd be fine for a short trip. I have some small satin pouches that I use for pearls. However, I find that pearls are sort of heavy, so I will choose only one or two items. I take pearl studs everywhere.
Frankly, when traveling I choose a few items and wear them for everything, such as gold hoops, gold chain, etc.
I have been known to put pearl necklaces inside a sock. It works.
 
It would be for a 2 week car trip. No rings but gold and pearl bracelets. Also pendants, earrings and pearl necklaces. I have a couple small pouches that I have been using but wanted something that would hold more and keeps everything safely organized.
 
I usually wear what I'm going to wear, jewelry wise, and wear it for everything, so I'm not bringing extra stuff.

I've also used that slightly grippy matting that you put in drawers, laid my jewelry on it, and rolled it up and put it in a shoe sock. I wouldn't store my pearls that way, but it works well for a trip, because nothing inside the roll moves around. Plus, if the mat is way too big, I can cut it down to size.
 
Have you considered a makeup train case? There are usually two layers, and the top layer has compartments.
Back in the olden days, I think they were called an overnight case. Enough room for your negligee. ;)
