How To Wear Chilean Fair Trade Hammered Copper & Lapis Cuff
February 11, 2009Wearing Jewelry on Vacation
June 19, 2008As summer vacation is right around the corner and a lot of people will travelling to exotic locales I thought I would write about what to do about your jewelry while on vacation.
I have often been to countries where for the most part the citizens are struggling to make a living and women tourists are flashing big diamond rings and all kinds of other expensive jewelry. Personally I think this is an invitation for a robbery. My suggestion is this, leave your valuables at home.
When I moved to Europe to work as an International Brand Director, I knew that I would be travelling to various parts of the world and while I wanted a symbol of my marriage on my finger, I did not want to be wearing my diamond. I asked my husband to buy me a very simple inexpensive wedding band (we paid less than $100 for it). I wore that when I was travelling.
I also suggest that you take fashion jewelry with you but also in limited quantities, not because it may be stolen but because you might want to go shopping while on vacation and pick up lots of wonderful artisan jewelry pieces. You’ll need the room to pack them!
Happy travels and shopping
