Caring for Jewelry while Traveling

 

Summertime is a time for traveling and if you are all packed up and set to leave, you might be thinking about the best ways for traveling with your jewelry. Naturally, you want the world to see your fine jewelry in New Oxford, PA, but it’s important to take extra precautions to avoid loss and damage when you are outside.

 

Here are a couple of tips to help you look after your pretty pieces while you’re traveling either for a weekend getaway or across the country.

 

Always add a pouch inside your purse for jewelry

Fine jewelry is more likely to break when it is moving around in the bottom of your handbag or your purse and remember that precious jewelry and even gemstones can get scratched or damaged, beads can crack and necklaces can tangle as you take out items.

 

This can reduce the value of the piece and you need to toss it into a special pouch and give it a longer life so that it can shine brilliantly when you wear it.

 

Never place your wedding rings in New Oxford, PA, in checked luggage

The safest place for your jewelry is within your sight and not on your person. Some insurance policies may not cover jewelry that is lost or stolen if it is kept in checked luggage.

 

Keep your travel pouch with your fine jewelry in your bag that stays with you like a carry-on or a purse, or better yet wear it.

 

Never wear jewelry to the beach

Most jewelry stores in New Oxford, PA, will tell you this but here is one reason why you should never wear it. Your body tissues shrink in cold water and this can cause your ring to slip off while you paddle, snorkel, or even water ski. Also, the beach itself, from the sand to the salty air, can tarnish, scratch, and degrade soft metals and gemstones which can ruin its value forever.

 

The Bottom Line,
