Life’s a Beach: Vacation Jewelry Picks

If you’re anything like me, packing for any sort of vacation is a messy, messy adventure. Heaps of disheveled clothes sit on top of more mountains of wrinkled clothes. I forget at least 5 essentials like my reading glasses but will have no shortage of belts and hats, which is odd because I don’t wear belts or hats. As for my jewelry, I tend to throw pretty much every item I own in little baggies causing them to, of course, get incredibly tangled and unwearable.

Look familiar?

While I can’t guarantee that for my next vacation I’ll fold my clothes neatly or just say ‘no’ to that big brimmed feathered hat I keep telling myself I’ll find the right occasion for, I will at least get my jewelry packing skills down.

When packing jewelry for vacation, keep this in mind: less is more. This is especially true for island getaways where you’re likely to spend the day in only a bathing suit. Only pack items that you know for sure you’ll wear like staple, everyday pieces and statement accessories for night time. Below are some of my top vacation jewelry picks and ways to safely store them so you spend less time untangling and more time relaxing on the beach, toes in the sand, margarita in hand.

1. Diamond Stud Earrings

A true classic that goes with every style, casual or fancy.

2. Turquoise Rings

A simple, natural turquoise ring will go wonderfully with the ocean and beach.

3. Gemstone Bracelets

Gemstones, like this statement citrine and yellow sapphire piece, are perfect for vacations because they’re bold, colorful, and fun.

4. Pearl Necklaces

Pearls are another classic jewel that can be dressed up or down and pair beautifully with islands.

5. Island Jewelry

If you really want to accessorize to the island or beach, Allurez has a line of Island Jewelry  like this flip flop pendant, turtles, seashells and palm trees. We even have a summer giveaway going on right now!

6. Jewelry Travel Case

There would be no point in packing all this vacation jewelry without a safe place to store them. Happy travels!
