TL;DR

Yes, travelers commonly carry gold jewelry in hand luggage or handbags without customs issues, and even leave it in hotel rooms without problems — no reported thefts or inspection issues.

What the community said

One traveler left gold jewelry on the table in her hotel room and cash in a backpack in the closet (not in the safe). Everything stayed untouched during a September trip.

Left in room without safe

Gold jewelry can be packed in checked luggage without any issues at customs or during inspection.

Some travelers prefer to always keep gold on them — in a handbag or carry-on rather than checked luggage, just to be safe. They've carried both their own jewelry and gift items with tags — security never asked to inspect it, and there are no appraisers at the airport to check its value.
