✨ Travel Smart: Jewelry Care & Safety Tips for Your Next Getaway
Whether you're heading off to a sun-soaked beach, a European adventure, or a weekend getaway, your jewelry deserves to travel as beautifully as you do. At Everglow Jewelry, we know your pieces aren't just accessories—they're memories, heirlooms, and personal expressions of who you are.
Here’s how to keep your jewelry safe, sparkling, and stress-free while you’re away.
1. Choose Wisely: What to Bring (and What to Leave)
While it’s tempting to pack all your favorites, travel is the time to simplify. Ask yourself:
Do I need this piece, or am I just afraid to leave it behind?
Could I wear something more versatile or less valuable?
💡 Tip: Leave your most sentimental or high-value pieces (like heirloom engagement rings) in a safe place at home, and opt for simpler styles or permanent jewelry while traveling.
2. Use a Travel Jewelry Case
Tossing your jewelry into a pouch or Ziploc bag is a recipe for tangled chains, scratched stones, or worse—lost earrings.
✔️ Invest in a compact, structured travel jewelry case with:
Ring slots
Separate compartments for necklaces
A padded area for delicate pieces
It keeps everything organized and protects against damage while you're on the move. Check our our selection in-store!
3. Carry It On – Always
Never pack your jewelry in checked luggage. Bags get lost, delayed, or rifled through more often than you'd think. Your best pieces should stay with you—in your personal item or carry-on.
Pro tip: Keep jewelry in its case inside a zippered interior pocket so it's not visible when opening your bag.
4. Insure Your Pieces
Before you travel, double-check that your jewelry is insured—especially custom or high-value items. Many homeowner or renter policies can cover jewelry, but may require appraisals or riders.
👉 At Everglow Jewelry, we offer appraisals on pieces you bought from us or anywhere else. It usually only takes a couple days and can help insure that if loss happens you will be covered.
5. Clean Before You Go
Jewelry picks up oils, lotion, and dust—especially when you wear it daily. Before your trip, give your favorite pieces a proper cleaning to restore their sparkle.
You can:
Use a gentle at-home cleaner for diamonds and gold
Bring them into Everglow for a professional polish and check-up (recommended before long trips and completely free!)
6. Be Smart at Your Destination
Even in the most glamorous destinations, theft can happen. Stay alert:
Don’t wear flashy pieces in unfamiliar or high-theft areas.
Use the hotel safe (and double-check it before checkout!).
Avoid removing rings in public restrooms or pools.
And always take photos of what you bring—it helps with insurance claims if needed.
7. Permanent Jewelry = Worry-Free Travel
Our laser welded, clasp-free permanent bracelets are perfect for travel—no tangles, no clasps, no worries. They’re low-maintenance, beach-friendly, and totally Instagrammable.
👉 Book your permanent jewelry appointment before your next trip and travel with a sparkle that stays with you.
✈️ Travel Light, Shine Bright
Jewelry can elevate your travel experience—adding joy to every outfit, photo, and special moment. Just pack smart, protect your pieces, and let your style shine wherever the journey takes you.
