Do you bring your jewellery along with you when you travel? Smart travelers know - leave your most meaningful (and expensive) jewellery at home for safekeeping and wear something that, if you should happen to lose, wouldn't be terribly traumatic. Less expensive travel jewellery will allow you to look great and still travel safely in style.
Are They Diamonds? Or Something Else?
When traveling, it's a great idea to keep those expensive diamonds at home and wear alternatives. White sapphires, white topaz and cubic zirconia will give you the look of diamonds, but at a fraction of the price. Replace your diamond earrings, necklaces and bracelets for sapphire, topaz or CZ styles set in sterling silver or 10K gold and you won't feel quite so bad if they are lost or stolen.
When it comes to your diamond engagement and wedding rings, your best bet is to keep them at home. You can find exceptional engagement and wedding rings and even bridal sets created in sterling silver or gold and sparkling with white sapphires or white topaz that look just as lovely as their more expensive counterparts. With styles starting at under $150, you're sure to find a ring that suits your fancy.
Sometimes you feel you just have to take your fine jewellery with you. And that's great too! Take some precautions prior to your trip to ensure that, if something unforeseen should happen to your fine jewellery, you are prepared for it.
#1. Insure Your Jewellery
A Jewellery Protection Plan from Peoples is great to have should your jewellery become damaged on your trip. This policy covers many repairs and ring sizing. You should ALWAYS be sure to carry a jewellery rider on your homeowner's insurance policy in case your fine jewellery is lost or stolen.
2 Keep It With You
If you plan to take your jewellery with you when travelling, it's best to keep it on your person. Wear it or keep it in a bag that you carry with you. Never leave your jewellery unattended and never hand a bad with your jewellery in it to airline or hotel staff.
#3 Travel Smart
If you decide to travel with your fine jewellery and are not wearing it, leave your jewellery in the hotel safe. It's generally much more secure than an in-room safe. Hotels can be held liable for any thefts from the hotel sage, but not from in-room safes. So if you are travelling with fine jewellery, the safe deposit box at the hotel is the best choice.
