Tips For Traveling With Your Jewels

I’m not the only crazy one though– a 2012 survey by Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company found that nearly two-thirds of women wear expensive jewelry while on traveling, and of those women, over a quarter have lost at least one piece of jewelry.

I could have been one of those women so many times. In fact, once when I was traveling  home from a conference I got to the airport and realized I had left my ring on the nightstand in my hotel room! Luckily, I had awesome roomies and they were able to send it back to me. We of course insured it when sending, but there was a limit on the insurance and I was a nervous wreck it would be lost.

To avoid these types of situations, below are some un-complicated ways you can travel with your jewels without worry.

– Insure the jewels you love before your trip! It is way, way less money than you think and gives you piece of mind year round.  Comprehensive worldwide coverage with Jeweler Mutual’s Perfect Circle® Jewelry Insurance  includes repair or replacement for pieces that are lost, stolen, damaged or mysteriously disappears– and on average? It could cost you as little as $80 for an engagement ring.  Oh, and remember those loose stones my friend was concerned with? Totally covers that also!

– Choose wisely. Only tote the jewelry you feel are absolute musts, such as  your wedding rings, or those perfect earrings that go with everything.

– Take pictures. Keep an inventory of the jewelry you have at a home, along with pictures or a video. This will help in the event that you do lose it and need to show others helping you what your jewelry looks like.

– Carry it on you at all times. Never put jewelry in checked baggage. Wear your jewelry or stow it in your carryon bag.

– Use the safe. When you remove your jewelry at night, always store jewelry in the in-room safe (not on the nightstand, as I did).
