Packaging Jewelry
As we all know, jewelry is delicate and valuable, and extra precautions should be taken to ensure safe transit. While FreightCenter can help you secure an experienced and reputable carrier, the initial shipping process begins with you. Our packaging tips will make the packaging process a breeze! Ensuring your jewelry is packaged correctly will help protect it against any bumps in the road. You may only need some things on the list below, but it is good to have options. To start the process on the right foot, ensure you have the necessary supplies and materials ready.
Start by wrapping your jewelry in bubble wrap or tissue paper. Once the jewelry has been covered, place it in a jewelry pouch, wrap it in protective padding, and place it in a padded heavy-duty envelope. From there, place the jewelry envelope inside a small box reserved for the interior portion of the shipping package.
Even though you will place the smaller box inside a larger one, it is essential to prevent movement inside the package at this step. To prevent movement, fill the area surrounding the Envelope with padded packaging materials, such as packing peanuts, to keep the jewelry from moving around during transit. Tape the small box, do a shake test to detect movement, and place it inside the large box. Once you are sure no movement has occurred, tape up the large box with heavy-duty shipping tape.
An additional packaging method is to place the jewelry inside a jewelry box and use padding materials to fill in the unpadded gaps. The jewelry box should also be placed inside a corrugated carton before securely taping.
To create value for our customers by delivering customized shipping solutions that meet their unique needs and to fulfill shipping demands from simple to complex with expertise, guidance and ingenuity.
If you’re shipping smaller batches of jewelry and precious metals, LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight shipping is a cost-effective option. This method allows you to share truck space with other shipments while ensuring secure transport for rings, necklaces, bracelets, gold bars, and raw gemstones. Our network of trusted LTL carriers offers safe and efficient transport, with tracking and insurance options to protect valuable shipments while keeping costs low.
For larger jewelry shipments, such as bulk orders for retailers, wholesalers, or manufacturers, FTL (Full-Truckload) shipping is the best solution. With FTL, your entire shipment travels in a dedicated truck, minimizing handling and reducing the risk of theft or damage. This option is ideal for jewelry suppliers stocking inventory, high-end designers shipping exclusive collections, or businesses transporting large quantities of gold, silver, or diamonds. FreightCenter arranges secure, direct truckload transport with specialized handling to keep your valuable cargo protected.
Need your jewelry shipment delivered fast? Whether you’re restocking for peak seasons, shipping for an auction, or fulfilling urgent orders, FreightCenter provides expedited freight shipping to ensure rapid delivery with priority handling. Our expedited services include real-time tracking, enhanced security, and faster transit times, ensuring rings, watches, fine metals, and gemstones arrive safely and on schedule.
For collectible, rare, or high-value jewelry, specialized freight shipping provides the highest level of protection. FreightCenter offers white-glove services, climate-controlled transport, and heightened security measures for antique jewelry, loose diamonds, bullion, or luxury timepieces. Whether shipping to a collector, jewelry retailer, or auction house, our custom freight solutions include secure packaging, limited handling, and full insurance coverage to safeguard your valuable assets during transit.
Guaranteed competitive pricing every time you ship.

Frequently Asked Questions about Shipping Jewelry
Q. How should I package jewelry for shipping?
Jewelry should be placed in a padded jewelry box or soft pouch, wrapped in bubble wrap, and packed inside a sturdy, tamper-proof shipping box. Use additional padding to prevent movement during transit. For more info, scroll up.
Q. Is it safe to ship jewelry through standard mail services?
While standard mail services can be used, high-value jewelry should be shipped via a trusted freight provider with secure handling, insurance, and tracking to reduce the risk of loss or theft.
Q. What is the best shipping method for high-value jewelry?
For expensive or rare jewelry, use white-glove or specialized freight shipping services that offer insurance, tracking, and security measures to prevent theft or damage.
Q. Should I insure my jewelry shipment?
Yes. Shipping insurance is highly recommended for valuable jewelry to protect against loss, theft, or damage. Freight carriers often provide coverage, but additional insurance may be needed for high-value items.
Q. Are there any restrictions when shipping jewelry internationally?
Yes. Some countries have import/export restrictions on gold, diamonds, and precious metals. It’s important to check customs regulations, tariffs, and required documentation before shipping internationally.
Q. Can I ship loose diamonds, gold, or silver?
Yes, but shipments of raw or investment-grade materials may require additional security measures, certification, and compliance with specific trade regulations.

White-glove shipping provides premium handling, including security escorts, temperature-controlled transport, personalized delivery, and insurance for high-value jewelry.
Q. Can I ship multiple pieces of jewelry in one package?
Yes, but each item should be individually wrapped, padded, and secured in a tamper-resistant box. For bulk shipments, consider palletizing and using freight services for added security.
Q. Which shipping carriers are best for jewelry?
Carriers like FedEx, UPS, and DHL offer secure shipping for jewelry, but for high-value or bulk shipments, freight companies with specialized handling and white-glove services are ideal.

Use discreet packaging with no visible branding or indications of valuable contents. Require signature confirmation upon delivery and opt for tracking with updates.
3 Important Facts about Shipping Jewelry and Precious Stones
Some High-Value Jewelry Shipments Require Armed Security
For extremely valuable jewelry shipments—such as luxury watches, rare gemstones, or multimillion-dollar pieces—some logistics companies provide armed escorts and GPS tracking throughout transit. These measures ensure the jewelry reaches its destination securely and without risk of theft.
Most Jewelry Is Shipped in Discreet, Unmarked Packages
To prevent theft, jewelry shipments are often packaged in plain, unbranded boxes with no indication of valuable contents. Some companies even use decoy labeling, making it appear as if the package contains everyday items rather than high-end jewelry.
Some Countries Have Strict Import Restrictions on Precious Metals and Gemstones
Certain countries impose high tariffs, require special permits, or even restrict the import of specific types of jewelry, gold, or diamonds. For example, some nations regulate the trade of conflict diamonds under the Kimberley Process, requiring certification to ensure ethical sourcing.
