Frequently Asked Questions
How many pieces of jewellery should I pack for holiday?
A small, versatile edit of four to six pieces — a pair of earrings, one necklace, one bracelet and a ring — is usually enough to cover both daytime and evening looks without overpacking.
Are pearls safe to wear on holiday?
Pearls are safe to wear on holiday, but they're best kept away from direct contact with sun cream, saltwater, chlorine and perfume, which can dull their surface over time.
What's the best jewellery for a beach wedding?
Lightweight, versatile pieces such as a pearl necklace and drop earrings tend to work well for beach weddings, since they photograph beautifully without feeling heavy in warm weather.
