Should you not wear jewelry in Paris?


Should you not wear jewelry in Paris? You will be fine wearing it.

Should I travel with my jewelry?

Keep it with you. Never ever ever EVER put jewelry in checked luggage or in any other bag that will be out of your control. Things can be so easily lost, smashed, damaged, or stolen. I recommend getting a good jewelry travel case to keep your treasures comfortable while they're in your bag.
