Jewelry, however, may be an absolute necessity if you're going on a business trip or planning a wedding at a remote location.

Where should I keep my jewelry when I move out?

Take extra security measures to protect the expensive jewelry you're not wearing. The fact that it has returned home does not guarantee its safety.

When possible, it's a good idea to store your valuables in a safety deposit box at a bank or other secure location.

Is It True

Your money in an FDIC-insured bank is safe, but the contents of your safety deposit box are not. Even so, protection against risk is essential for them.

If you don't have either of those, the next best places are a safe or some other hidden spot in your house.

Absolutely In fact, aside from actually wearing your more expensive pieces through the airport, your carry-on is your only other option.

Make sure the jewelry bag is always within your sight. That includes people like cab drivers, bellhops, and airport workers who might offer assistance.

Fine jewelry should never, ever be packed in checked luggage. There is just too much danger involved.

Yes Keep your jewelry on; TSA recommends it. The alarms should not be triggered by jewelry; if they are, an officer can inspect your piece while you watch.

If you must take off your jewelry, do so in the privacy of your carry-on rather than leaving it in a communal trash can.

Tips for Safely Transporting Valuable Jewelry

While the aforementioned applies to the majority of jewelry, there are special considerations to make when transporting expensive jewelry.

One, take photos of the jewelry you plan to bring. Create a mental image of everything you're packing. This ownership documentation will come in handy if you ever find yourself filing a police report. (This is something you ought to do anyway; keeping track of your jewelry is a good idea. )

2. If necessary, notify the proper authorities Ensure that you inform your insurance company of your upcoming trip if they request such information. You must notify Customs if you are transporting goods with a value of $10,000 or more if you are traveling internationally.

3. Recognize the occasions when jewelry is inappropriate While keeping your valuables on you is the safest bet, there are times when you need to remove your jewelry. Review our extensive forbidden-to-jewelry list.

Fourth, make sure your belongings are stored securely in your hotel Don't ever leave your valuables unattended, not even in your luggage, in a hotel room. Get in touch with the front desk and inquire about the availability of a safe for your valuables if you don't plan on wearing them all the time.

Cover your tracks; don't let them down Be sure to keep your valuables hidden from strangers, especially if you're in a less familiar or dangerous area. Don't flaunt the presence of valuable jewelry by posting about it online. Don't draw attention to yourself if you don't have to.

SIX: Value and protect What kind of insurance do you have on your jewelry? Will your health insurance cover you if you travel internationally? What about jewelry-specific travel insurance? Check your policy's exclusions and make sure you're fully protected against the most likely types of loss. Before you leave, it's also a good idea to update any evaluations you've received.

A Few Words on Buying Jewelry Abroad

Taking a piece or two of jewelry on a trip is one thing. Getting some bling on the road is another

Buying some inexpensive costume jewelry as a memento is perfectly acceptable. But if you ever find a piece of fine jewelry you just have to have, here are some things to keep in mind:

Verify the status of the company. You don't want to be given false hope by being told you're getting one thing, only to have it appraised at another. Use only trusted names if at all possible. A well-known brand name, provided it is authentic, is a safer bet than an "exclusive" one. See the small print. Always think carefully about what you're agreeing to before signing anything. A return shipping option is also highly desirable. Be careful with your finances when making payments and filing taxes. If you want added protection when making a purchase, use a credit card, and research any import taxes that may be due.
