What is the safest way to travel with jewelry?

Put jewelry in a bag that you personally carry into restaurants and to your hotel room. And keep it with you at all times. Don't leave the jewelry in an unattended car or suitcase. Also, don't let the hotel staff handle the bag ... and potentially help themselves to your bling.
