With summer right around the corner, exciting vacation plans are closer than ever. Are you eagerly counting down the days until your plane takes off? With so many people traveling in the upcoming months, we decided now is the perfect time to share our tips on traveling smart with your fine jewelry. Whether you’re packing for the white sand beaches of Florida or putting together outfits for a romantic getaway to New York, discover how to travel with your treasures the right way.
First Things First
Before deciding on what jewelry to bring, be realistic about your travel plans. You don’t need to have a clear itinerary or all of your outfits decided on, but it’s important to consider the details of what your vacation includes. Will you be reapplying sunscreen as you sunbathe at the pool? Are you planning on attending Broadway shows and drinking exquisite cocktails? A simple consideration of what your travel days might look like will help you determine the jewelry you’re interested in packing.
Wedding Rings and Bands
If you’re married and traveling, always have a plan for your rings. Maybe you bought insurance protection upon your purchase. If not, consider investing in a protection plan before leaving town. For couples that travel often, consider a set of travel rings. We always enjoy showing our clients less expensive lookalikes. For men, our collection of Benchmark wedding bands are ideal. The Black Titanium Band is one of the most popular and is listed at a great price point while still communicating your marriage commitment. For women, we have a variety of silicone wedding bands. One of our favorite choices is the Pearl Scallop Design.
Precious Heirlooms and Expensive Rarities
While sentimental treasures are a meaningful part of your jewelry collection, these valuables can quickly become a headache when traveling. Regardless of travel, jewelry insurance should be a top-priority to protect these one-of-a-kind treasures. Packing expensive and unique jewelry certainly comes with a risk. We firmly suggest leaving these items at home in a secured safe. In the event you’re traveling for a wedding or special ceremony, make sure to review and update your jewelry insurance plan accordingly.
Shimmering Fashion Accessories
Now that we’ve covered the most high-end favorites in your collection, let’s discuss a plan for your everyday staples. Start by putting together a couple outfits and discovering which essential necklaces, bracelets and rings can pair with multiple looks. For one vacation, you probably only need one or two jewelry looks. For summertime tropical trips, we love colorful bracelets like the 14 Karat Yellow Gold Plated Crystal Single Row Bangle in Aquamarine. For a weekend in the city, these Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings are our go-to.
