Summer is here and we are excited about traveling again. What are your summer plans? Will it be a beach vacation, a long-awaited visit with friends and family, or an exciting adventure to another country? The world awaits! Have you started to pack for your trip yet? You will need to have the right outfits for your destination, but don’t forget about your jewelry.
When choosing jewelry for your trip, think about fashion & safety. You should avoid packing jewelry that you would be devastated if it got lost or stolen. Your expensive and sentimental jewelry should be put in a safety deposit box or hidden away as safely as possible while you are away. You want your trip to be carefree & fun! You certainly don’t want to worry about the safety of your precious treasures. For lots of ladies, this includes their engagement rings.
Our solution? Travel jewelry!
Choose some neutral but fun pieces that will match most of your outfits. Argo & Lehne has some fantastic options, like our yellow gold double hoops earrings paired
with our love knot pendant or our sterling leaf earrings paired with a simple sterling link necklace. Even a simple pair of colorful stud earrings or our rose cuff bracelet can elevate any outfit. Instead of wearing your engagement ring, choose a simple wedding band. If your wedding band is ornate, you could wear a sterling wedding band just for your trip. You do not have to compromise on style; there are many travel friendly pieces that, worse case scenario, can be easily replaced.
Tips to Travel with Your Precious Jewels
- If you cannot part with a special piece of jewelry during your trip, wear it through the airport. Never put your valuables in your checked luggage.
- If you decide to travel with expensive jewelry, take precautions, making sure your items are appraised, insured and documented with photos before you travel. Our team at Argo & Lehne can help you with your appraisals, and we even offer expedited services.
- Once you have decided what jewelry to bring on your vacation, there are some tricks to keep your jewelry from being tangled or lost. You can use a pill box to pack jewelry. It is the perfect solution as it is hard plastic with separate compartments for each item and can easily & discreetly fit in your purse.
- Put necklaces in little plastic bags with a small amount of the chain sticking out or the chains can be put through a straw. Both methods keep your necklace chains from tangling.
We hope we can help you prepare for your summer travels and wherever your vacation takes you, have a marvelous trip!
Safe and happy travels from your friends at Argo & Lehne.
