How To Protect Your Jewelry When You Travel

By  | 

If you adore your jewelry, especially if it has emotional significance, you won’t want to leave it at home when you travel; instead, you’ll want to bring it with you if possible. However, when you’re in a foreign country with strangers – as is frequently the case while traveling – and particularly when you’re traveling from place to place a lot, your jewelry is at risk of being misplaced. With that in mind, here are some excellent methods to keep your jewelry secure when traveling so you can enjoy yourself without stress. 

Insure Your Jewelry

Although this first step will not help you if you lose your jewelry while traveling, it will assist you in replacing it or applying for compensation if it does vanish. Hopefully, you will never need this insurance, but it is preferable to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. 

But keep in mind that just because you have insurance doesn’t mean you can be less careful about caring for your jewelry. You must constantly do your best to take care of your possessions. If you’re not careful, you might discover that even with insurance, you are unable to file a claim due to carelessness or negligence. 

Think About When To Wear Your Jewelry

When you wear your jewelry, there is a far greater risk that it may get lost, be stolen, or be damaged than when you don’t wear it. For example, if you’re swimming in the sea (or even in a pool), trekking, rock climbing, or doing anything exciting outside, it’s far more probable that you’ll have an accident and lose your jewelry than if you were to leave it in the safe in your hotel room.  

With this in mind, it’s crucial to think about whether you should always wear your favorite jewelry when you go out – of course, if you feel happy to, then you should (that’s what it’s there for after all), but if you’re in the least bit worried, then it’s far better to leave it in your room in a travel jewelry case to keep it safe. 

Carry-On Luggage

Of course, when it comes to the safety and protection of your jewelry, getting there is just as important as being there. If you are not wearing it on your flight, you should put it in your carry-on baggage rather than your hold luggage. In this way, you can keep an eye on it and guarantee its safety at all times. 

Not only might your hold baggage be a target for criminals, but it could also go missing; there have been many instances when luggage has been put aboard the incorrect plane or has not been loaded at all. In such a scenario, you may be without your jewelry for an extended period of time, and you might never recover it. The best solution is to keep it with you and make sure you know where it is at all times.
