Shipping is very iffy.  I would bring them in checked baggage if possible. 

We had some stuff disappear in the move, I think it was all in one box but they couldn't have chosen a worse one.  Not the most valuable but the most sentimental.  Rhodochrysite and malachite boxes, glass figurines, glass art.  All irreplaceable.  Everything gets opened for inspection in shipping; what you carry in just get Xrayed, if that.
