Transporting Jewelry and Watches to the Airport

As we prepare for vacations and air travel, it is important to know how to handle jewelry during security checks. So, let's see what to do to pass these checks without problems, thanks to the valuable advice provided by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) of the United States.

Jewels

Let's start with the basic rule: bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings are safe to wear. Even if a small piece of jewelry could set off the metal detector, there is no need to worry, as it will not compromise your passage through the security check. However, it is always better to put jewelry in your hand luggage, especially if it is bulky. Avoid leaving it in plastic trays, especially if it is valuable or of great sentimental importance, to minimize the risk of loss.

It is not advisable to put jewelry in your checked baggage, because if it is lost, it will not be refunded at its full value. In this case, it is better to submit to a check or a search to avoid losing valuable jewelry.

Piercing

Unfortunately, most piercings will set off a metal detector. If you’re wearing simple earrings, it’s a good idea to remove them before going through security. For piercings in more sensitive areas, try to wear something minimal. Don’t worry too much: just tell security that you’re wearing a piercing and you’ll be searched with peace of mind.

Clocks

Even for watches, it is always advisable to remove them and put them in your carry-on. Be careful with trays and carry-on bags: unfortunately, it is not uncommon for valuables, such as luxury watches, to be stolen. Avoid being searched and minimize the risk of losing valuable accessories by following this simple advice.

By taking these precautions, you can travel by plane with your favorite jewelry without worries. Always remember to pay attention to details and travel with peace of mind. Whether you are flying for business or pleasure, follow these tips to ensure a safe and stress-free trip.

Have a nice trip! 🛫
