Today, I wanna talk about whether you can wear jewelry through TSA. I did some digging and tried it myself, so here’s the lowdown.

Jewelry and TSA: What You Can and Cant Wear at Airport Security.

First off, I checked what the TSA says about wearing jewelry. Turns out, they’re pretty chill about it. Most jewelry is fine to wear. I gathered all my usual stuff—rings, a necklace, and some earrings—to see how it goes.

I packed my bags like I usually do, but I made sure to wear my jewelry instead of packing it. I had a gold necklace, a couple of silver rings, and small stud earrings. I figured these wouldn’t cause any trouble, but I was ready to take them off if needed.

At the airport, I headed straight to the security checkpoint. I joined the line, feeling a bit nervous but mostly curious. When it was my turn, I walked through the metal detector with my jewelry on.

  • I made sure to take off my jacket and shoes.
  • I put my carry-on on the conveyor belt.
  • I also informed the agent about a medical implant I have before stepping through.

Guess what? No alarms! I sailed right through. The TSA agent didn’t even bat an eye at my jewelry. It was super smooth, just like any other day. So, I continued to the gate, jewelry and all, feeling pretty good about the whole thing.

But just to be sure, I asked a TSA officer about it. He confirmed that small pieces of jewelry are usually fine. He mentioned that big, bulky pieces or lots of metal might need to be removed, but that’s about it.

What I Learned

From this little experiment, I learned that wearing jewelry through TSA is generally okay. It’s a breeze if you stick to smaller, simpler pieces. But if you’ve got some chunky bling, be prepared to take it off.

Oh, and one more thing—if you’re worried about your valuables, you can ask for a private screening. The TSA folks are there to help, and they want to make sure everyone feels secure.

So, next time you’re flying, don’t sweat it about your jewelry. Just keep these tips in mind, and you’ll be good to go!
