Eight Tips To Keep Your Jewelry Safe While Traveling
Travelling with expensive jewellery does not necessarily make you anxious. With the right plan, you can ensure the safety of your jewellery during your journey, but you can still enjoy them during holidays, special occasion trips and even business trips. Follow the tips below to prepare and help ensure its safety.
Travel jewellery case
If you travel a lot, it is best to buy a travel case specially designed for jewellery. It is not necessarily very expensive, but a good travel jewellery box should have compartments so that your individual jewellery is organized without tangles and scratches.
List and take photos
List the items you want to bring. Before you leave, please take a photo (or even a video) of each jewel you bring during your trip. When you lose any of them, it helps to find it. In addition, if you find your own jewellery, you can prove it is yours.
Make sure your jewellery is insured.
Although some people will guarantee their jewellery under the homeowner's insurance policy, you can get more extensive global coverage through a dedicated jewellery insurance policy, so you can rest assured.
Use Small plastic bags
Do you know the small, sealable plastic bags that you usually buy with cheap jewellery? Consider saving them to store jewellery for travel. Put a jewellery item in each bag to keep the items in the order and prevent tangles. Then put all the small plastic bags into a larger ziplock bag for travel. If you do not have a small plastic bag at hand, please check your local handicraft store. It's even easier, don't go beyond the kitchen, and then take out some ziplock bags the size of snack bags.
Store in a Daily Pill Box
Do you know the 7-day pill box used to manage weekly doses? They are the ideal size for storing individual earrings, rings and even smaller bracelets and necklaces. By putting an item (or pair of earrings) in a box, the jewellery will not be tangled and organized. And because the boxes are connected together, you can put all your jewellery in one place. A related technique: Use old prescription medicine bottles to package individual jewellery items, and then put all medicine bottles in larger ziplock bags.
Use straws to prevent chain tangles
Pass one end through the straw (one chain per straw), and then fasten the lock to make the necklace chain free from tangles. Put all the straws in the toothbrush holder to ensure that the necklace is safe and binding. Are there one or two large necklaces in the mix? Use the toilet paper tube to follow the same process.
Take jewellery on board with you
put your jewellery in a carry-on bag, or put your personal belongings on an aeroplane or train. Do not pack it in checked baggage that is not visible and may be searched. This puts your jewellery at risk of being stolen. Keeping your jewellery in your hands is the best way to prevent damage or loss.
Don't leave it unattended
Carry valuables with you at any time. If you leave your jewels in an unattended bag in your car or hand it to hotel staff to bring it to your room, it may bring unnecessary risks. Carry valuables with you at any time.
