Travel Easily With Pearls on Valentine’s Day

Posted: January 27, 2011

Valentine’s Day is soon upon us. For many couples this means a romantic weekend away.

Whether you and your sweetie are jet setting to Paris, skiing in the mountains or enjoying the peace and restoration of a lovely spa – you’ll want to wear your pearls. Pearls need a little extra TLC as you travel and it is important to treat them with care.

Some may think that pearls are difficult to travel with but this is not so! You can bring your pearls anywhere you choose. Simply pay attention to our Pearl Travel TLC tips for best success. Remember that your pearls are natural gemstones and while they are not fragile – they are more delicate than some other types of jewelry. Nevertheless, who can resist the charm and beauty of the lustrous pearl? And on Valentine’s Day they are the perfect jewelry to wear as pearls represent love, romance and sweet sentiments – all perfect for this lovely day and romantic weekend.

Our Pearl Travel TLC tips:

Always keep your pearls in a separate travel case and soft cloth in your travel bag. This is the most successful way to pack your pearls. Some may only use a soft cloth, but remember that your items may shift as you travel and your pearls can touch other things! Protect your pearls by placing them in a jewelry travel case and a soft cloth.

Develop a little routine as you travel to keep your pearls in one place. One of the most distressing things any pearl lover can imagine is losing their pearls. That is why you’ll always want to keep your pearls in one place. The best place to keep them is putting them right back gently in the soft cloth into the travel case. If you are changing clothes or putting on makeup this is still a good routine as you don’t want to leave them on a dresser or other surface, and wind up forgetting they are there. Another option is the hotel safe. Ask your hotel concierge about the hotel safe, this should be an easy place to keep your pearls.

Remember your pearl jewelry accessories. Don’t only wear your pearl necklace but add your pearl earrings, bracelet and ring. Pearls love other pearls! You’ll look stunning wearing your pearl jewelry. And if you are carrying some of your pearl jewelry, why not carry some of your other favorite pearl jewelry pieces?

Pearls on last and pearls off first. This simple sentence is the best way to remember how to get dressed – whether away on your Valentine’s Day romantic weekend or at home going out to dinner for this special day. Put on your pearls after you add your makeup and hairspray. Take them off before you remove your makeup, hairspray and clothing. This will keep fine particles from sticking to your pearls, causing them to become dirty over time.

Wishing you a very Happy Valentine’s Day and enjoy your beautiful pearls!

Fall has us quickly hunting for our jackets and coats, once again. During all of these seasons there is one style of jewelry which endures; the pearl necklace.
