I bought this travel jewelry box case for less than $20 on Amazon to protect my engagement ring

I got engaged on July 11, and on July 12, I bought a Lion Latch.

I’ve seen Lion Latch all over TikTok for years and knew that the second I got engaged, I needed to get one to protect my engagement ring.

A Lion Latch is a little travel jewelry box case that you can attach to your keys, your water bottle or your bag. It is less than $20 on Amazon – it costs only $17.95 and comes in eight different colors.

I’ve always seen videos of people using the Lion Latch to protect their jewelry, but the brand also advertises this as a travel pill container if you don’t want to lug the entire bottle around with you.

I attend fitness classes nearly every day of the week, so I knew I wanted to get a travel jewelry protector. I didn’t want to leave my ring at home every time I worked out. With the Lion Latch, I can now take off my ring right before my workout and put it right back on after my workout. I typically keep it attached to my keys, but I also snap it onto the handle of my water bottle.

The Lion Latch was invented by a teacher and coach who damaged her ring on the softball field, so I knew that it was designed with a lot of intention to protect precious jewelry. I love that this closes so securely; there is no way the ring can fall out of the box, and it cannot fall off of my keys.

It takes less than 20 seconds to open this travel jewelry box, place my ring inside and make sure it is securely closed. I even made a video for TikTok to show how easy it is to use, without any cuts.

Now, I am debating whether I should get the silicone insert that can go inside the Lion Latch to protect my ring when I am tossing it inside.

I should place it gently, but I often toss it in because I am rushing to start my workout.
