Should You Travel With Your Jewelry?
With summer just around the corner, many of us are in full-on vacation-planning mode! One thing you may be wondering as you prepare for your adventures: “Should I bring my fine jewelry with me or leave it at home?”
Here’s some insight to help you make your decision!
Why Some People Choose to Travel With Their Fine Jewelry
Some people opt to bring their fine jewelry with them on their travels because they feel the most secure when they have it with them. They might worry about the potential of a home break-in while they’re away.
People may also want to wear their fine jewelry while they’re traveling. This decision depends entirely on the type of trip you’re making. For example, if you’ll be hiking or spending most of your time on a beach, you probably won’t have much time to wear your jewelry. However, if you’re planning on dressing up and going out for dinner, you might want to have some of your fine jewelry with you.
Why Some People Choose to Leave Their Fine Jewelry at Home When They Travel
On the other hand, some people would rather leave their valuables at home while they vacation. People who don’t travel with their jewelry are generally concerned about the possibility of losing it or having it stolen while they are away. They also may simply see no need to have their jewelry with them on their trip.
If you choose to leave your jewelry behind, you might want to consider renting out a safe deposit box, or you can store your jewelry in an at-home safe. If you don’t have a safe, at least store your jewelry in a less-than-obvious space in your home. That way, in the unfortunate event that your home is broken into, thieves will have a harder time finding your valuables.
