The Dos and don’ts of traveling with diamond jewelry

Posted by Bopies Jewelers on March 22nd, 2021

You love your engagement ring almost as much as you adore your partner and you don’t want anything to happen to it (it goes without saying). This is the reason why some people prefer to wear a separate engagement ring while traveling because your honeymoon could be just the place for something bad to happen to your diamond engagement ring from Fayetteville, NC.

Think about it, if you’re taking a tropical vacation right from the ocean air to the heat or even chemicals from the pool could dull the shine of your sparkling ring or it could even come loose and get swept away while swimming.

You could forget your ring on a counter while washing your hands or in high-risk areas, your engagement ring could even be stolen. Thankfully, here are some dos and don’ts to follow when traveling with your diamond jewelry.

Insure your ring if you haven’t

If you didn’t get jewelry insurance when your engagement ring was purchased then try to make sure you do so before heading on a trip. It’s better to be safe in case anything happens to your ring.

Have your ring inspected

Before boarding a plane, take your engagement ring to be inspected at the same jewelry store in Fayetteville, NC, you bought it from and let them check for any defects.

A loose stone or an ill-fitting band is better to be caught before your trip rather than you losing it on your trip. If you don’t have your ring insured then now’s the time to do it and replace your ring before it gets lost.

Never wear your ring in the pool or to the beach

Never wear your ring to the beach. The cold water will cause your fingers to shrink which in turn makes it easy for your ring to slip off, even if you’re in shallow water, it will sink to the bottom and get swept away by the current and sand.

The same rule applies to the pool, the ring even if it doesn’t slip off, the chlorine and sun can easily damage platinum, gold, and white gold as well as your custom design jewelry from Fayetteville, NC.

Lock the ring in the hotel safe when you’re not wearing it

Remember no matter how high-end your hotel is, when you remove your ring, don’t just set it anywhere in your hotel room. Always check to see if there is a safe and keep your valuable jewelry in there.
