Caring for your Jewellery while abroad

June 12, 2025

Heading to the Mediterranean this season?
While you soak up the sun, make sure your diamonds are just as radiant when you return.

Here are our top travel tips for caring for your jewellery while abroad:

1. Leave the sparkle at home (sometimes!)
As tempting as it is to wear your favourite pieces everywhere, avoid wearing
fine jewellery to the beach or pool. Sand, saltwater, and chlorine can dull your
diamonds and damage metals.

2. Store smart
Travelling with your diamonds? Always keep them in a soft, separate travel
pouch or a lined jewellery box to avoid scratches and tangles. Need a travel
jewellery box or cleaning cloth? We provide these for all Holloway Diamonds
clients — just ask us before you fly!

3. Take it off when applying sunscreen & perfume
Chemicals in sunscreen, perfume, and hairspray can build up on your
diamonds, dulling their sparkle. Apply first, let it dry, then put your jewellery
on.

4. Insure before you fly
If you’re bringing something special, make sure your jewellery is covered by
travel insurance. It’s peace of mind worth having.

5. Wipe it down
Gently wipe your jewellery with a soft cloth at the end of each day to remove
oils, sweat, and residue — it keeps your sparkle intact until you’re back home.

6. When in doubt, book a post-holiday clean
Pop into Holloway Diamonds when you return. We’ll give your pieces a
complimentary sparkle check and professional clean — so your memories
shine just as brightly.

Bon Voyage and travel safe — from the team at Holloway Diamonds.
Your sparkle deserves the same level of care as your passport!
