Engagement rings are beautiful pieces of art. And, while you might be tempted to take it with you everywhere you go, it might not always be the best idea to travel with your engagement ring. Here’s why! Safety Concerns Your beautiful sparkler is a huge target for thieves, especially if you’re traveling in another country where you don’t speak the language or which has a very high crime rate. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the beauty of a place and not even realize how dangerous the street is. That’s why investing in a travel engagement ring is so important! We offer a variety of silicone rings that would be perfect for anyone taking a trip out of town that will look great with any outfit, won’t break the bank and will ensure that your diamond ring stays safe at home. Browse Our Collection of Silicone Rings Logistical Concerns You won’t always be wearing your ring all the time. And, for some people, this can present serious logistical concerns. Are you traveling somewhere where there’s a hotel safe in each room? Will you be able to keep carry-on luggage with you during a short connecting flight? How often will you be returning to your room to check on your belongings? These logistical questions can make for a real nightmare if you’re spending all your time ensuring your engagement ring is safe. Then you’ll ultimately never have any fun while out on vacation! Cost Concerns If you do decide to travel with your engagement ring, you should definitely get ring insurance. However, while ring insurance isn’t the most expensive addition to your trip, it can make a dent if you’re not budgeting for it. The cost to insure your engagement ring might be more than you think, and it can cost just as much to replace in the event something goes wrong. You might even have to pay for an appraisal before or after getting ring insurance because the company will need to determine if your ring is even worth insuring (yikes, right!). Plus, if you damage your ring while on vacation and it is no longer covered under warranty, then you’ll have to pay to fix it. And, if you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to try to figure out how do you get a ring off a swollen finger when you don’t have immediate access to a doctor, you’d know that usually a ring can’t be fixed at that point. These cost concerns will greatly impact your decision whether or not to travel with your engagement ring. A Personalized Ring Dish Is Great to Hold Rings While You Sleep Ways to Keep Your Ring Safe While Traveling Even if you decide to leave your ring home while you travel, you’ll still want to ensure it stays safe while you’re gone. Consider asking a friend or family member you trust to come over once in a while during your trip to ensure your house stays safe and doesn’t experience any break-ins. Additionally, make sure you catalog all the jewelry you own. Make note of the pieces that you’re taking with you and the pieces you’re leaving. Consider getting all your jewelry assessed so that in the event anything is stolen, authorities can charge the responsible individuals appropriately based on the value of your jewelry. If you bring your engagement ring with you on any of your travels, there are a few steps you should take to ensure it stays safe: Bring a replacement ring to wear on the plane. We offer a variety of silicone wedding rings for women that are great alternatives to traditional bands. They can be much more comfortable than metal bands while traveling on long plane rides. Put your ring in a bag that’s always with you. A handbag is ideal in this situation. A good rule of thumb to follow is that if it goes with you to the bathroom stall, then it’s the right place for your jewelry. Never check your jewelry. It’s a huge safety concern and causes a lot more trouble than it’s worth. Do the smart thing and keep your jewelry in your handbag where you can easily access it. Only bring a few pieces. There’s no need to bring your entire jewelry box with you on your trip, though it may be tempting. Instead, take a few pieces you know go with all your outfits and wear them consistently. Much better than trying to repack all your jewelry at the end of your trip!
