When I am asked about traveling with good or expensive jewelry, I always respond with, "Don't." It is never worth the risk for me to take valuable jewelry on a trip. That is the time to use costume pieces which are so much in vogue these days. There is so much out there for $20.00 or less. Many cruise ships have shops onboard that specialize in coordinated sets of necklaces and earrings or bracelets for only ten dollars. They are affordable, fun and I've never heard of a tear shed, after a piece was lost! If you must travel with good jewelry, remember to document and insure it, and keep it in the hotel or cruise ship safe when you are not wearing it.
