Travel-Friendly Jewelry Fit for a King or Queen
We all love to look our best when traveling, but to travel or not to travel with jewelry, that is the question! If you do like to travel accessorized, be sure you stick to classic, secure, and simple pieces. Here are our two favorite brands.
Wearing or carrying jewelry when you travel can sometimes increase the risk of loss, theft, or damage. Which is why we prefer to travel with as few items as possible and ensure they make a statement without being too flashy.
By all means, travel with jewelry, but be sure to keep it simple and stow your items in your carry-on bag, never in checked luggage. Pack a couple of your favorites securely in pouches or a dedicated case to prevent tangles, and consider wearing simpler pieces through the airport while keeping valuable or sentimental items out of sight.
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we have two luxury yet affordable labels that we believe meet the above requirements and appeal to different gender expressions.
Martha Stewart
We love Martha Stewart for her long-standing visibility and inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals in her work and life, her campy, aspirational yet tongue-in-cheek perfectionism, and her unapologetic authenticity. This strong, self-made lifestyle diva embodies success and resilience, whether it’s mixing cocktails or making a great line of jewelry.
Martha Stewart’s jewelry collection embodies timeless elegance and classic style, thoughtfully crafted to be cherished now and treasured as future heirlooms.
The Pearl and Chain Fashion Jewelry Collection captures timeless sophistication with its elegant designs. Featuring unique chains, radiant glass pearls, and sparkling crystals in yellow gold-plated metal, each piece showcases Martha Stewart’s signature blend of style and grace. This is our pick for that special night out, and maybe that’s at The Bedford by Martha Stewart, inside the Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino!
Bruno Magli
Bruno Magli is an Italian luxury house known primarily for its classic, high-quality leather footwear and accessories, with a focus on traditional elegance and craftsmanship. The styling, which incorporates leather and metal in secure, confident designs, delivers classic, stylish, and durable pieces that go from day to night, casual to formal with ease.
While designed for men, these bracelets are suitable for anyone who enjoys expressing a masculine side or a gender nonbinary aesthetic.
Bruno Magli men’s leather bracelets combine refined Italian craftsmanship with modern, understated style. Each piece is designed to offer a sophisticated finishing touch, blending premium materials and sleek details for a look that’s both timeless and effortlessly masculine. We love this line of bracelets for travel, and the design works well for mobility, whether you’re on a hike or hopping on and off boats, bikes, or motor scooters in the Mediterranean.
Tips for Traveling with Jewelry
Carry-on & Security
Keep with you: Always keep jewelry in your carry-on or personal bag, never in checked luggage, where it can get lost or stolen.
TSA screening: You may wear jewelry through security; if it triggers an alarm, request a private screening for your valuables.
Stay discreet: Avoid wearing overly flashy or expensive pieces in transit to prevent unwanted attention.
Packing Safely
Use organizers: Pack items in small zip-top bags, a pill organizer, or a travel jewelry case to keep them separated and prevent tangles.
Prevent tangles: Use methods like threading necklaces through straws or toilet paper rolls, or wrapping them around a hanger.
Consider insurance: If you have very valuable items, ensure they are insured for travel.
At Your Destination
Be mindful: In high-risk areas, wear less expensive or fake jewelry, and keep your valuable pieces secure in your hotel safe or in your carry-on.
Protect from elements: Be aware that humidity can tarnish metals and salt/chlorine can damage stones; bring a polishing cloth.
