Top Tips For Protecting Your Jewellery On The Go

  • Wear Selectively: Choose versatile pieces to minimise wear and remove jewellery before certain activities.

  • Carry-On Security: Keep your jewellery in your carry-on bag and use resealable plastic bags for protection during transit.

  • On-the-Go Cleaning: Bring travel-sized jewellery cleaning supplies and a soft cloth for quick cleaning.

  • Secure Hotel Storage: Use hotel safes for secure storage, and check the safe before use.

  • Chemical Awareness: Avoid contact with chemicals like perfumes and lotions, and remove jewellery before swimming.

  • Daily Inspection: Inspect your jewellery daily for damage, and consider a professional inspection upon returning home.

  • Document & Appraise: Document your jewellery with photos before your trip and ensure you have up-to-date appraisals for valuable pieces.

The Rise of Jewellery Insurance for Travellers: Why It's More Important Than Ever

In recent years, the popularity of jewellery insurance for travellers has been steadily increasing, and for good reason - travel insurance may not fully cover your jewellery

Here's why more travellers are avoiding "travel insurance traps", using specialised jewellery insurance to protect their valuables on European summer vacations: 

1. Valuable Investments on the Go

Travellers often wear their valuable jewellery abroad, making it susceptible to loss, theft, or damage. With the increasing value of fine jewellery, travellers are more aware of the financial impact of losing or damaging their pieces.

2. Sentimental Significance

Many jewellery items, such as engagement rings, family heirlooms, or gifts from loved ones, hold deep sentimental value. Travellers want to ensure these cherished pieces remain safe and can be passed down to future generations.

3. Comprehensive Coverage

Specialised jewellery insurance policies offer comprehensive coverage, including protection against loss, theft, damage, and even mysterious disappearance. Travellers appreciate the peace of mind that comes with knowing their jewellery is safeguarded, no matter where their adventures take them.

4. Travel Flexibility

Travel insurance policies sometimes have limitations when it comes to covering valuable items like jewellery. Jewellery insurance provides flexibility, allowing travellers to customise coverage based on their specific needs.

5. Tailored Protection

Jewellery insurance providers understand the unique value of jewellery and offer tailored policies to suit travellers' requirements. Travellers can also add jewellery to their policy as they move around and acquire timeless souvenirs. 

6. Worldwide Protection

Travellers appreciate that jewellery insurance extends coverage worldwide, whether exploring European cities or lounging on Mediterranean beaches. It ensures that their jewellery is protected no matter where their wanderlust takes them.

7. Ease of Process

Obtaining jewellery insurance is straightforward and can often be done online. Travellers find it convenient to secure coverage before embarking on their European summer holiday.

8. Smart Investment

Travellers view jewellery insurance as a wise investment, especially considering the potential costs of replacing or repairing valuable pieces. It allows them to enjoy their travels without worrying about the safety of their jewellery.
