Vacay in style
What’s a vacation without jewellery? These precious littles can be elegant expressions of yourself while you lounge in a cute European cafe and game changers when you’re partying hard at the hottest beach club in the city. But when you’re carrying them around as you travel, there’s always a couple of things to keep in mind. We bring you five pointed tips so that you don’t have to stress about them on that well-deserved vacay!
What to pack?
Make sure to take fuss-free pieces with you, anything from studs to small hoops. These vacation-friendly jewellery blend effortlessly with any last minute changes of attire or airport changes. They also touch up your outfit without being too garish. Plus, they’re handy! Whether you’re on that flight to LA or taking a train trip for an Indian adventure, these pieces will camouflage with your persona and not attract unwanted attention either. Also, make sure to pack pieces to complement your vacation outfits such as bracelets or dainty pendants plus that one trendy, statement piece to highlight your evening dresses.
What to avoid?
A sure way of planning a trip with your jewellery is to not take pieces of sentimental value along. They may be crybabies and tug at your heartstrings, but you definitely need to weigh in on the risks of misplacing them on a trip! Avoid anything too expensive too.
How should you make the journey with your jewellery?
Keep it with you! Always. Jewellery is best carried in your personal baggage such as your purse or stroller, so you never lose it in transit. Pack them in a pouch and place it in the tote. This also makes for ease of adding on or taking off pieces on-the-go.
How not to lose them?
Keep a record! Make lists, photograph, and document! Any evidence of what you took will help you appraise and count on your pieces later. Also, don’t leave them lying around in the hotel room when you head out to explore the city. Keep them in the designated pouch and store it in the locker.
How to store them?
If your year looks travel busy or you’re planning an important vacay to a place you’re not familiar with, it’s time to invest in a travel jewellery case or jewellery roll! If you can’t find one, here are a few DIY hacks to get you jet-ready!
- Put necklaces through a plastic drinking straw to keep them tangle free.
- Pierce earrings through index cards or button holes to keep them from being lost.
- Store earcuffs, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets in pillboxes or medicine containers or put them all in a Ziploc bag.
