If you take jewelry with you when you travel, don�t pack it in luggage (such as an overnight or makeup case) to be given to the bell captain at the hotel, ship�s porters, etc.
Never leave it in your room. Whenever possible, obtain a safety deposit box in which to store your jewelry when you are not wearing it, even for part of t he day. Also store the jewelry you leave behind at home in a safety deposit box.
Never remove your jewelry and wrap it in a facial tissue- many pieces have been thrown away accidentally this way. Keep a small pouch handy in your purse.
Purchase a �Body Pouch� that can be concealed under clothing for when you must carry a valuable piece. Never go sightseeing with valuables in a purse or pocket.
For customs purposes, it can be useful to take a photocopy of your jewelry appraisal with you. Or, have photos of jewelry dated and notarized prior to departure and keep it in your passport. Jewels by Stacy Appraisals can take color-enlarged photographs of your jewelry for this purpose.
