How to Take Your Jewellery on a Trip: Tips for Not Ruining Your Treasures

Why is it important to travel with jewellery... the right way?

Whether you are going on a romantic getaway, a tropical adventure or a weekend in Capri, jewellery is part of your personal style. But taking it with you without damaging it is an art. That's why we've created this practical guide to help you protect your jewellery while travelling - especially the ones you love most.

1. Choose your jewellery carefully
Avoid carrying an entire jewellery box. Select versatile pieces that are easy to combine with multiple outfits. We recommend:

A pair of statement earrings

A bracelet with natural stones (like those in the Colors collection)

A protective or symbolic scapular

An iconic ring to add character to evening looks

✨ Tip by Thais: Favour quality materials such as silver and semi-precious stones, which are more resistant to changes in weather and time.

2. Organise your jewellery safely
Organising your jewellery when travelling is crucial to avoid tangles, scratches and breakage.

The best methods:

Padded travel cases with separate compartments

Individual pouches in soft fabric, ideal for rings and earrings

Velvet tubes for necklaces (avoid entanglement)

For the do-it-yourselfer: a weekly pill box can work as a last-minute travel jewellery box!

3. Jewellery in a suitcase or in hand luggage?
Always in hand luggage, never in the hold.
Jewellery is delicate, precious and... sentimental. Keeping them with you is the safest choice.

Pro tip: if you travel by plane, carry them in a small pouch inside your bag, so you always have them under control when travelling.

4. Protect them from water, sand and sunscreen
Never wear jewellery in the sea or in a swimming pool: chlorine and salt can ruin metals and stones.

Avoid contact with sunscreens and perfumes.

Store them away before showering or during a relaxing day at the beach.

5. Keep them shiny away from home
Take a microfibre cloth with you for quick and gentle cleaning.
For deeper cleaning: a drop of mild soap and lukewarm water, then dry immediately.
