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.
