What to bring when traveling

The golden rule is to bring less but better. Select versatile pieces that match multiple outfits:

• A delicate necklace: pairs with everything, from casual looks to elegant dinners
• Stud earrings or small hoops: practical, secure, and always appropriate
• A thin or stackable ring: lightweight and versatile
• A delicate bracelet: completes the look without being bulky

Avoid bringing pieces of great sentimental or monetary value that you cannot afford to lose.

How to transport jewelry safely

Travel jewelry case

Invest in a good, compact travel jewelry case with separate compartments. Ideal features:

• Compartments with closures to prevent pieces from tangling
• Soft padding to protect precious stones
• Compact size that fits in hand luggage
• Secure zip or button closure

DIY Solutions

• Necklaces: thread each necklace through a plastic straw and close the clasp — it will never tangle
• Earrings: insert them into a button or a piece of perforated cardboard
• Rings and bracelets: wrap them individually in a soft cloth or tissue paper

Where to store them during the trip

• Always in hand luggage: never in checked luggage, which can be lost
• In the hotel: use the in-room safe for your most precious pieces
• At the beach or pool: leave jewelry at the hotel — salt water and chlorine damage silver

How to protect 925 silver when traveling

925 silver can oxidize more quickly in humid or salty environments. Some precautions:

• Store jewelry in anti-tarnish bags
• Avoid contact with sunscreens, perfumes, and chemical products
• Always dry jewelry before storing it
• Carry a soft cloth for quick polishing
