Jewelry on the Go: An Expert Guide to Packing and Traveling with Jewelry

Summer is right around the corner and this usually means vacation is on the horizon too! Whether it's spending the weekend at a secluded cabin, driving to the beach for a few days, hopping on a cruise, or heading to a bucket list destination by plane, taking a little time to rest and unwind is always exciting!

We all love to wear our jewelry on vacation, but it's essential to take precautions when packing and traveling with your jewelry, no matter if you're traveling by air, land or sea.

We've put together some tips and advice for you on how to pack jewelry for domestic and international travel, what jewelry to take on vacation, what pieces to leave at home, and some other do's and don'ts.

The Dos and Don'ts of Packing and Traveling with Your Jewelry

When it comes to packing jewelry for travel, it is essential to take extra care to prevent damage, loss or theft.

Do:

• Use a jewelry case or organizer to keep your jewelry organized and prevent it from getting tangled. A jewelry travel case is a great investment as it provides a safe and organized way to pack your jewelry. It also makes it easy to access your jewelry when you need it.
• Wrap delicate pieces of jewelry individually in tissue paper or a soft cloth to protect them from scratches.
• Pack your jewelry in your handbag or personal item so you have it with you at all times.
• Take a photo of your jewelry before packing it in case you need to file a claim for lost or stolen items.

No:

• Pack your jewelry in checked luggage as it could be lost or stolen.
• Wear extremely valuable or sentimental jewelry while traveling to avoid theft or loss.
• Store your loose jewelry in a purse or bag, as it can become tangled or damaged.

Lujerah Insider Tip: Store your jewelry in a hotel safe: If you're staying at a hotel, consider storing your jewelry in the room safe when you're not wearing it. This will provide an extra layer of security and peace of mind.

Going through customs with jewelry when traveling internationally

Air travel is fun, but it can be stressful when it comes to keeping all of your jewelry safe and in one convenient place when going through TSA security at the airport or customs when traveling internationally.

If you are traveling internationally with your jewelry:

• Research your destination country's customs regulations before you travel to ensure you comply with them. If you have a travel agent who booked your trip, ask them for guidance and information. Also, be sure to check with the countries you're visiting and find out what jewelry needs to be declared and what documentation will be required, if any.
• Carry your jewelry with you at all times and avoid storing it in checked luggage.
• Risk of loss or theft: High-value or sentimental jewelry can be stolen or lost during travel, and it's not worth the risk.

Lujerah Expert Tip: Avoid bringing pieces of jewelry that are too valuable or extremely sentimental.

Traveling with the right jewelry

Jewelry pieces that are durable, versatile and timeless are best to take with you on any trip.

Here are our tips on what jewelry to pack and why:

• Studs and Hoop Earrings: These two classics are versatile and can be dressed up or down.
• Pendant Necklaces: A simple pendant necklace, one short and one longer, can add elegance and sophistication to any outfit.
• Chain or Beaded Bracelets: A delicate chain bracelet or a colorful beaded bracelet are great additions to add some fresh style to many different pieces in your wardrobe.
• Simple Ring: A modern, minimalist ring is a timeless accessory that can be worn every day through the holidays and will always add a touch of elevated elegance.

Choose jewelry that complements your destination

The jewelry you wear on a Caribbean vacation may be very different from what you might wear on a big trip to New York City or even on a hiking adventure through the Grand Canyon.

Always consider what kind of activities you'll be doing during your trip. If you're at the beach and doing tons of water sports or other outdoor activities, it's best to leave delicate or valuable pieces at home to avoid damage or loss.

Additionally, it's important to consider the climate and weather conditions at your destination. Extreme temperatures (hot or cold) or high humidity can damage certain materials, such as leather or wood. Additionally, some metals may not cope well with salt water or even chlorinated pool water, so be sure to remove all jewelry before diving into the water.

Traveling with jewelry can be a rewarding experience with proper preparation.

We are sure that with all these tips and tricks you will be able to travel with your favorite jewelry safely and in style. Whether you are exploring a new city or lounging on the beach, your favorite jewelry pieces can add a touch of class. Add elegance and sophistication to your vacation, without causing you stress.
