Wanderlust Meets Sparkle: Travelling Safely with Jewellery

Written By Elyse Austen

Whether you're jetting off to a tropical paradise or heading to a snowy getaway, bringing your favourite jewellery along can add the perfect touch of elegance to your travels. However, travelling with your treasured pieces requires a bit of preparation to ensure they remain secure and in pristine condition. Here are some essential tips for travelling safely with jewellery:

1. Invest in a Travel Jewellery Organizer

One of the simplest ways to protect your jewellery while travelling is by using a travel-specific jewellery organizer. These compact cases often feature:

  • Separate Compartments: Keep necklaces from tangling, earrings paired, and rings scratch-free.

  • Padded Interiors: Add an extra layer of protection to cushion your pieces during transit.

At Austen Jewellers, we carry stylish and functional travel jewellery cases designed to make packing a breeze. With a dedicated organizer, you can keep everything accessible and secure.

2. Keep Jewellery in Your Carry-On

When flying, always pack your jewellery in your carry-on bag. Checked luggage can be lost, delayed, or mishandled, putting your precious items at risk. By keeping jewellery close, you’ll have peace of mind knowing it’s safe with you.

3. Avoid Overpacking High-Value Items

While it’s tempting to bring your entire jewellery collection, less is often more when travelling. Select versatile pieces that can complement multiple outfits. For example:

  • A pair of diamond studs or small hoops that go with casual and formal wear.

  • A simple gold or silver necklace that layers beautifully.

  • A favourite ring or bracelet that adds personality to your look.

If your trip includes activities like swimming, hiking, or exploring crowded areas, consider leaving irreplaceable or sentimental items at home.

4. Use Hotel Safes

Once you’ve reached your destination, store jewellery you’re not wearing in the hotel safe. This extra precaution protects your valuables while you’re out adventuring.

5. Clean and Inspect Before You Pack

Before travelling, take the time to clean and inspect your jewellery for any loose stones or clasps. This ensures that each piece is in good condition and less likely to be damaged while you’re away. Austen Jewellers offers professional cleaning and repair services to help prepare your favourite pieces for travel.

6. Insure Valuable Pieces

If you’re bringing high-value jewellery, consider insuring it. A jewellery insurance policy can provide coverage for loss, theft, or damage, giving you peace of mind while travelling.
