Never. Ever place jewlery or electronic items in your checked bags. In the carrier's contract of carriage, which you agree to when you purchase the ticket, carriers exclude from its baggage liability, jewlery, electronic and other valuable items. ALWAYS carry these items with you. If that is not an option, privaely ship them to your destination with a reputable shipping company where they can be insured.
