This is hands down the best jewelry travel case I've ever used. I take about 30-40 trips/year, and this accompanies me every time. I like that there are compartments to keep necklaces separate from earrings etc. I use the bottom two compartments for bracelets/rings (one side for gold, and one for silver), the middle row for necklaces, and the top section for earrings.
The best features of this roll are:
1. Padded exterior to keep jewelry reasonably safe from damage.
I used to have some 2 inch long glass (!) rectangle drop earrings that I keep in this roll without any extra tissue etc, and never had an issue with them getting damaged. Now that's impressive!
2. Compartments zip closed.
Many jewelry rolls I've looked at/owned have snap closures, drawstring ties, wraparound cords, loose flaps and other less-secure ways of holding your jewelry in place. I like knowing that my jewelry is zipped into small compartments, and snugly held in place with elastic bands.
3. Elastic cords adjust size as needed.
I've owned other rolls that used snaps (with several sizes) and still didn't close with all my jewelry. This cord is super stretchy, so I've jammed it full with 20-30+ pieces of jewelry (earrings, bulky rings, small necklaces, bangles etc), and I've never had a problem getting it closed. I've also never had to worry about it breaking because it's well made. One thing to note-- I have some bulkier bracelets (like the
Kenneth Cole New York "River Shell" Silver-Tone Two-Row Hinged Bangle Bracelet
) that do fit in the roll, but add too much bulk for my preference. I generally wear this sort of bracelet while traveling, and store my thinner bracelets (such as
kate spade new york "Sailor's Knot" Hinge Bangle Bracelet
) in the jewelry roll while in transit.
The one con with this case (and any travel jewelry case) is that necklaces with delicate chains are bound to get into a tangled mess if you throw them into a compartment with other items. Here are some solutions:
1. Use the middle row of smaller compartments for fragile necklaces (one necklace per compartment). This doesn't work if you are bringing more than 3 necklaces of course.
2. Buy some
SE - Self Lock Bag Set - Single Zipper, 2 mil, 2x2in., 1000 Pc
(or something similar) to keep fragile necklaces from getting tangled. I don't usually bother with this unless I need to bring along my more fragile jewelry, but these mini ziplocs bags do come in handy!
3. You can also try the drinking straw storage method, then put all your necklaces (stored with half of the chain looped thru a plastic drinking straw) in the top compartment. I've never bothered to do this, but I know many people who like this strategy.

Great Jewelry holder for travelling...
I purchased this to go on a trip overseas. It is able to hold a large number of jewellery items with out any falling out. The only thing it doesn't hold well are very small items like rings or smaller earrings. The inside compartments are separated by black zippers. There is a loop at the top to hold it on a nail or hook on the door. It was easy to carry in a small handbag. The fabric of the inside of the roll is made of a clear plastic. The other roll fabric is made of a smooth silky like quality yet a bit firm. I would definitely recommend this product.
