Protecting Your Accessories While Traveling This Summer

 
 
Have some travel plans on the horizon? Whether it's a weekend getaway, a jaunt to the beach, or a full-fledged week abroad, chances are you are finalizing your plans and preparing your checklist of all the essentials. What may not be at the forefront of your mind is how the summer months can take a toll on your jewelry if not cared for properly.

That’s why we wanted to share some easy tips to ensure your precious pieces are taken care of while en route this season:

Remove jewelry while sunbathing: Sunscreen can easily coat your jewelry and timepieces, dulling their beauty. Leave your accessories at home before spending a day lounging in the sun and remember to clean them regularly to remove any sunscreen or sweat that accumulates.

Keep things organized: Keeping things all jumbled together can cause scratches, dulling, and the dreaded tangling of chains. As such, separate all jewelry and watches into individual cloth pouches or invest in a special accessories organizer/watch case for travel.

Keep things safe: While we hope nothing goes missing, as a precaution never leave your fine pieces laying around a hotel room, rental car, or in your poolside bag. Utilize your hotel room’s safety deposit box to store your most precious items.

Insure your pieces:
Whether its an expensive timepiece or a pricey piece of jewelry, consider getting it adequately insured should the article get lost, stolen, or damaged.
