Jewellery loss during travel on the rise, survey says

Incidents of fine jewellery being lost or stolen while a person is travelling have doubled since 2015, according to survey conducted last month by Jewelers Mutual Insurance Group The study, which polled more than 1000 people, revealed that 20 per cent of people have experienced loss or theft of fine jewellery when travelling, which demonstrates a 10 per cent increase from a survey conducted four years ago Further, 27 per cent report losing fine jewellery on a beach, and only one per cent recovered pieces that were lost or stolen while on vacation.

Jewellery should be worn or stowed in a carry-on-never in checked luggage Travellers should not post photos on social media of their jewellery and accommodations To avoid loss, jewellery should not be worn while swimming, especially in cold water where finger sizes can temporarily shrink.

Individuals should conceal jewellery when travelling in unfamiliar areas. . Source
