How can I hide my engagement ring through airport security?

It's best not to let the precious gem out of your sight, so put the ring in a small box and wrap it tightly in your carry-on. We suggest putting the box in a pair of socks and then tucking it into the innermost pocket of your carry-on for extra padding and security.

Most jewelry won't set off any metal detectors due to the materials they're made out of. Gold, platinum, and sterling silver will very rarely set off an alarm and if they do, it's probably because they're mixed with another metallic material. Pure, fine jewelry will likely pass through without a hitch.

A dated copy of a jewelry appraisal, jewelry insurance policy or receipt can be used to prove ownership of the jewelry prior to your travels outside the United States. However, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) may accept a photo taken of you with the jewelry in your possession prior to your travels.
