Keep Your Jewellery Safe When You Travel
Travelling with jewellery can feel stressful — the fear of loss, theft, or damage is very real. But with the right preparation, you can bring your favourite pieces with you and enjoy them wherever you go. Corelune Jewellery has put together these practical tips to keep your jewellery safe on every adventure.
Before You Leave: Take Stock and Insure
Before any trip, photograph every piece of jewellery you are taking with you. Keep the photographs somewhere safe — in cloud storage or emailed to yourself. Check whether your jewellery is covered under your travel insurance or home contents insurance policy while away from home. If not, consider adding a specific jewellery rider to your policy, especially for high-value pieces.
What Jewellery to Take
Be honest with yourself about what you will actually wear. Most people wear a fraction of what they pack. Take versatile pieces that work with multiple outfits. Leave irreplaceable or extremely high-value pieces at home — it is generally not worth the risk.
Packing Your Jewellery
- Use a dedicated jewellery travel case or roll with individual compartments to prevent tangling and scratching.
- Keep necklaces flat and individually wrapped in tissue or placed in separate small zip-lock bags to prevent tangling.
- Fasten necklace clasps before packing and thread chains through a straw to keep them from tangling.
- Pack jewellery in your carry-on luggage — never in checked baggage, which is far more vulnerable to loss and theft.
At Your Destination
- Use the hotel room safe for valuable pieces when you are not wearing them.
- Do not leave jewellery visible in a hotel room or on a beach.
- Be mindful in busy tourist areas where pickpocketing is common — wearing very obvious, expensive jewellery can attract unwanted attention.
- Remove fine jewellery before swimming in the sea or pool — cold water causes fingers to shrink and rings can slip off, and salt water and chlorine both damage metals and settings.
