What is the best way to send jewellery? The online presentation and sale have been successful, and the coveted piece of jewellery has found a new owner. However, between the successful sale and the new owner receiving the jewellery, there is another challenge – shipping the jewellery. But how do you actually send jewellery?Â
Whether for commercial or private purposes, there are a few questions to consider when shipping jewellery, which we would like to answer here. From the question of insurance to shipping costs and the best packaging for jewellery – you will find everything you need to know here!
Sending jewellery commercially
Many jewellers and young jewellery retailers now mainly present and sell their jewellery online. Alongside these modern opportunities, there are also small challenges that need to be overcome.
When it comes to commercial jewellery shipping and packaging, young jewellers in particular face important questions. In addition to shipping costs, which account for a significant proportion of the total costs, it is above all the integrity of the jewellery that is of paramount importance to online retailers.
In the commercial sector in particular, there are now various packaging types available for sending jewellery safely and cost-effectively. Although they all serve their purpose, there are differences in how they are used and how they are constructed.
Our flat jewellery boxes, which are available in five different sizes and are suitable for the most common items of jewellery, have been specially designed for shipping jewellery. Their low height makes them ideal for packing in padded envelopes.

What we value
Send jewellery privately
Sending jewellery by large letter - If the jewellery you have sold in an online auction or simply want to send to a friend is not particularly valuable, it can be sent by large letter (maximum height: 2 cm). Bubble envelopes are particularly suitable for jewellery, as they cushion the jewellery and protect it from external damage.
However, if you do not have any air-cushioned envelopes to hand, we recommend carefully wrapping the jewellery in soft padding material and placing this in an envelope. Take care to avoid any irregular bulges. These are practically guaranteed to cause damage to the envelope during posting or transport, and in the worst case, the jewellery could even be lost. In addition, irregular bulges make it possible to feel the contents, which exposes the jewellery to an increased risk of theft. However, large letters are not insured during shipping.
Send jewellery with insured parcel
The situation is completely different when sending jewellery by insured parcel. If the jewellery to be sent is particularly valuable, whether materially or emotionally, insured shipping may be worthwhile. After all, potential theft lurks everywhere, even in parcel centres or during transport. However, valuable jewellery is not easily recognisable in a small parcel and is therefore not as susceptible to theft. If the parcel is lost in transit, the contents are often insured up to a certain value. It is advisable to find out in advance about the various prices and packages, as well as the terms and conditions and insurance options, from the respective shipping service provider.
However, transport insurance only applies if the jewellery has been packed properly. Pre-made shipping cartons are suitable for private individuals. These are filled with the jewellery case and then with suitable filling material and sealed. Jewellery should be protected from damage. Bubble wrap is suitable as filling material for private use.
Bonus: Shipping cartons with a height of 5 centimetres or more are handed over to the recipient in person. This prevents any damage to the jewellery when it is placed in the letterbox.

Frequently Asked Questions
Jewellery is sent most safely in a sturdy shipping carton, with suitable filling material such as bubble wrap and, for high-value items, an insured parcel. Transport insurance only applies if the jewellery has been packed correctly.
With commercial shipping, the focus is mainly on shipping costs and keeping the jewellery intact, as both account for a considerable share of the total costs. Private shipping usually involves individual consignments, for example after a sale through an online auction.
Jewellery can be sent as a large letter if it is not of particularly high value, for example after a sale through an online auction. The large letter is limited to a maximum height of 2 cm, and shipping is not insured.
Padded envelopes are particularly well suited for shipping as a large letter, as they cushion the jewellery and protect it from external damage. Without a padded envelope, it is advisable to wrap the jewellery carefully in soft cushioning material and place this in an envelope.
When packing in an envelope, you should avoid irregular bulges, as these can damage the envelope when posted or in transit. Bulges can also be felt from the outside, which exposes the contents to an increased risk of theft.
Sending jewellery as a large letter is not insured. For particularly valuable jewellery, an insured parcel is recommended instead.
An insured parcel is worthwhile when the jewellery is particularly valuable, whether materially or emotionally. This means for you: if the parcel is lost in transit, the contents are often covered up to a certain value.
Valuable jewellery is not easy to identify from the outside in a small parcel and is therefore less prone to theft, for example in parcel centres or in transit. An envelope with bulges that can be felt, on the other hand, increases the risk of theft.
For private individuals, ready-made Shipping cartons are ideal, filled with the jewellery case and suitable filling material and then sealed. For private use, bubble wrap is a suitable filling material so that the jewellery is protected from damage.
Shipping cartons from a height of 5 cm are handed to the recipient in person only and not dropped into the letterbox. This means for you: possible damage to the jewellery from being dropped into the letterbox is ruled out.
