TRAVELLING WITH JEWELLERY
Essential Tips for Your Summer Adventures
As I prepare to travel back to Italy for a summer break, I realised how important it is to plan my packing and organise my outfits so that I can create multiple looks with just a few items of clothing and accessories in my suitcase.
I know the packing process can be overwhelming and stressful for many, so I decided to distill my tips in this journal entry in the hope that you'll find them handy.
If you, like me, are planning a summer trip and wondering how to travel with jewellery during the hottest season, enjoy this read.
BEFORE YOU TRAVEL
Keep it Minimal
Minimise the number of pieces you take with you. Choose versatile items that can be mixed and matched with different outfits. In summer, I particularly enjoy statement pieces like a stack of bracelets or a bold necklace to enhance even the simplest outfits
Prepare for the Environment
Understand the climate and activities you’ll be engaging in to pack the appropriate jewellery. Wear your everyday pieces while traveling and pack the additional items accordingly.
Choose Wisely
Select jewellery that can withstand heat and moisture. Leave precious, delicate, or sentimental pieces at home to avoid risking loss or damage.
PACKING TIPS
Use a Jewellery Roll or a Travel Box
A jewellery roll can keep your pieces organised and protected while taking up minimal space in your luggage. A travel jewellery box with separate compartments also works well to prevent tangling and scratching. Both options are great; it’s a matter of personal preference. For handmade options, we recommend visiting Etsy.
Pack a Polishing Cloth
Bring a polishing cloth to clean your jewellery after use. Removing sweat and sunscreen will help keep your pieces shiny for longer.
WHILE TRAVELLING
Hand Luggage Only
Safety first: always keep your jewellery in your hand luggage. Never place it in checked baggage.
Stay Dry
Avoid wearing jewellery while swimming, at the beach, or during activities that cause excessive sweating. Jewellery is delicate and can easily get damaged, so be mindful and think long-term.
Collect a Travel Memento
Treat yourself to a unique piece of jewellery from your destination. This precious souvenir will not only adorn you but also tell the story of your holiday, making it a wearable memory.
