What message to engrave on a summer jewellery piece?

Choosing the right message to engrave is a key step to making jewellery unique and emotional. For summer, engraving ideas can evoke love, escape, or simply the joy of holidays.

Here are some inspiring suggestions:

• A name or affectionate nickname: to keep a loved one close.
• A meaningful date: birthday, memorable trip, or summer encounter.
• A dream destination: “Santorini 2025”, “Cap-Ferret”, “Rome”.
• A positive mantra: “Inner Sunshine”, “Carpe Diem”, “Free & Light”, “Just Breathe”.
• A significant word: “Together”, “Forever”, “Magical Holidays”.

Which jewellery to pack in your suitcase this summer?

Picking jewellery for holidays requires some planning — you want style without bulk. Here are some tips to compose your summer jewellery kit:

• Choose lightweight and durable jewellery: gold-plated, stainless steel, or cords are perfect.
• Opt for versatility: a personalised cord bracelet works equally well at the beach or in the evening.
• Think mix & match: bring two or three necklaces to layer with different looks.
• Choose according to the messages you want to carry with you, like children’s names, mantras, or holiday destinations.

How to pack your personalised jewellery for travel?

During holidays, your personalised jewellery deserves special care. Here’s how to pack your engraved pieces safely:

• Use a fabric pouch or a small compartmentalised jewellery box to separate pieces.
• Wrap necklaces individually by gently rolling them in a tissue or cotton to avoid tangles.
• Avoid putting everything in one pouch, especially fine chains or pendant jewellery.
• Keep your most precious pieces in your hand luggage to prevent loss.

Good organisation protects your jewellery and saves you time when getting ready.
