Tips for Travelling with Jewellery

All of us need a break from our monotonous lives every once in a while. Holidays are when you can try out new looks and trendy styles as you take your fashion game up a notch. Whether you are travelling to a tropical location or heading out to the hills for a much-needed break, you need to plan your wardrobe according to your destination. Bring out the fashionista in you by carrying your dazzling jewellery along to add some sparkle to all your outfits. Read on for some useful tips on travelling with jewellery and leave no stone unturned when it comes to flaunting your gems!

Necklaces

Necklaces are a staple item in every girl’s jewellery box. They add drama and oomph to any outfit and complement both western and Indian wear. Additionally, you can easily carry lesser clothes for your vacation and make a statement with stylish statement necklaces to bring out the diva in you. Play safe by carrying dainty necklaces with elegant pendants. Keep your necklaces organised and tangle-free by passing the delicate chain through a sipping straw and locking the chain. This will keep them from tangling and also help them stay separated from the other necklaces. If you are carrying a chunky necklace, you can use paper towel rolls to keep them in place.

This trick can be used for bracelets, anklets and even bangles. Make sure you place the jewellery in a zip lock bag or in a separate compartment in your baggage to avoid them from getting mixed up. Furthermore, if you are using boxes to carry your jewellery, make sure you add a few cotton balls to take up the excess space in the box and keep the jewellery from getting intertwined.

Earrings

Travelling with earrings can be tricky as they are smaller than necklaces and need to be kept in pairs. Keep them intact by locking them through a big coat button. You can also use old candy tin boxes or mint boxes to store dainty studs. If you are carrying many sets of earrings, try using a daily pill box with designated compartments for everyday pills. This way you can categorise your jewellery as per the outfit of the day. This trick can even be used for smaller pieces of jewellery like rings and nose pins.

Safety Tips

Beautiful jewellery is expensive and travelling with these precious items can be risky. Make sure you take the right measures to protect your gems with the following handy tips.

Carry your jewellery in your hand bag or cabin luggage. You do not want to spend your vacation trying to track down a lost bag which was last seen in the luggage compartment.
Try keeping your jewellery light. Since travel is usually synonymous with sight-seeing and adrenaline-quenching activities, it is best to keep your jewellery minimal.
If you are travelling for a wedding, keep your expensive jewellery safe by investing in a jewellery organiser. These handy boxes have different compartments for necklaces, bangles and earrings. Choose from a wide variety of quirky patterns and useful designs to complement your style. They are even available in an easy-to-use roll design to just roll up and store for later use.

These useful tips and tricks for travelling with jewellery are guaranteed to keep your precious jewels safe and secure.
