With Valentine's Day falling on a Thursday, it's the perfect opportunity for brand-new and well-seasoned lovers to escape to a romantic hideaway for an extended weekend.

Crystal pendants in sterling silver, gold-filled earrings with coral beads (see photo), titanium cuff links or stainless steel bracelets are on-trend and travel well.
Don't go flashy. The shinier the bauble the more likely it is to be lifted and pocketed, especially if luggage is going to be checked at the airport instead of carried on the airplane. And gift-wrapping jewelry before traveling could be a waste of time because the paper gets torn and tossed if the luggage needs to be searched.
Stashing bling in a jewelry roll that can be easily added to carry-on luggage is best. Instead of one lined in satin, suede or fur, try scaling down. Jewelry rolls with clear, plastic zip compartments make it easy for airport or hotel security to view what's inside if they need to. Not to mention, thieves might underestimate the value of jewelry placed in a budget-friendly roll.
In addition to passing these tips on to customers, jewelers may want to add a few travel-friendly jewelry rolls to their inventory.
