Have a good holiday!
Jewels are essential! They complete our outfits, brighten our days, and personalize our styles. Talking about parting with our jewels is often unthinkable! But jewels, like many accessories, can get damaged in certain situations. Indeed, costume jewelry or those made with low-quality metals will not last long after a beach cocktail-sand-sea water! But don’t worry, jewels and travel can go hand in hand by following a few good practices…
Which jewels for the holidays
The holidays are approaching, and you wonder which jewels to take to accessorize your pareo? Don’t panic, ladies, we offer you here all our advice for the holidays!
The most durable jewels for the beach are made of noble materials such as gold or solid silver. These materials will not get damaged at the beach. Even if a few grains of sand get into your jewel or scratch the surface, it can be restored. These materials are of such quality that your jewels will rarely scratch.
For the summer jewelry collection, our jeweler Artemi crafts jewels from 18-carat gold in yellow, black, rose colors, and solid 925 silver, a high-quality material. It is also called rhodium silver or sterling silver. This material is made from a blend of copper and solid silver. This combination gives the jewels their strength and durability over the years without loss of quality. Moreover, all Art’emi silver jewels bear the 925 hallmark as an additional quality mark.
We do not recommend precious stones for activities such as swimming in the sea or rafting. Indeed, the uniqueness of a precious stone lies in its surface layer that gives it a specific color. If this surface layer gets scratched or damaged, the jeweler will have to polish it. Polishing can completely change the color of the precious stone. We therefore advise you not to wear precious stones during your swims or in contexts where sand might come into contact with them.
Finally, to be perfectly matched and fashionable on the beach, we recommend matching the metals you wear on your neck, wrists, ankles, and even fingers! Choosing a set entirely in yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, or solid silver can be a success in the world of style! Also, our swimsuits love dangling earrings and pendants on the neck. Dare to be yourself and show your authenticity on the beach!
How to care for my jewels during my travels
During a summer getaway, sand and sea salt will dull the shine of your jewels! And although gold and solid silver are reliable metals, they cannot escape the intrusion of a tiny bit of beach that can cause scratches and frowns. But don’t panic! Before leaving, prepare your jewel cleaning kit. Like all things we love, our costume jewels need care and pampering during holidays. In this kit, nothing simpler: a toothbrush and Marseille soap.
Quite regularly during the holidays, gently rub your jewels with the toothbrush and a bit of Marseille soap. To clean your earrings or pendant from deposits of sand, sea salt, or sunscreen!
If some scratches do not come off, schedule a small polishing appointment with your jeweler after the holidays. By polishing your silver or gold jewel, the jeweler will restore all its shine and brightness from the first days!
My portable jewel storage
Traveling with your jewels is an activity in itself! If you want to take several of your jewels during your two or three weeks road trip along the coast, it is possible! However, a few small rules must be followed. Make sure all your jewels are separated. Even the two earrings of a pair must be separated. Indeed, when several metals come into contact, they can scratch each other. Chemical reactions between these metals and the ambient temperature can also cause stains. It is therefore essential to keep them apart!
The most practical way to carry your jewels is obviously to have a jewel box with compartments. But you can also separate your jewels by putting them in pouches made of leather, fabric, or suede. Make sure the pouches are somewhat padded to soften the blows your jewels will suffer during your wanderings!
Finally, during the holidays, we are not in our usual setting and our little routine can be disrupted. We recommend always storing your jewels in their cases to avoid losing them. If this is not possible when you take off your earrings or necklace, try to place them in a place accessible only to adults. Indeed, children could swallow them or hurt themselves with them. Dogs can also grab your small earrings thinking they are toys.
We hope this article has given you plenty of good ideas and good practices to combine jewels and travel. Affirming your style and completing your hiking outfit makes us happy. So let’s not deprive ourselves! Have a great day everyone!
On your teacher’s jewel, the world of possibilities opens up to you: messages, feelings, thanks, mental arithmetic, drawings, words, names! You can engrave whatever seems right and fitting for your teacher. Personalized jewels are a success because they represent much more than a fashion accessory. Indeed, they deliver a message, sometimes even represent a memory. Customizable jewels often bring joy because they are unique! Every person is unique, and it seems obvious that the jewels offered to them should be as well!
Finally, if the cost of the quality of our jewels seems too high for a back-to-school gift, why not organize a group gift with other classmates? A group thank-you gift, full of love, engraving, and affection can only motivate your teacher to carry out their work with ambition and energy.
