White travel jewellery box with compartments
Hello my dearest, I am just packing my little travel jewellery box as I am off on holiday all of next week and will be back again on 17th November! I am very much looking forward to seeing you after that, and until we meet again, remember to wear your most fabulous pieces of jewellery – even just for work or school, to give the day that lovely little gilt edge that you so well deserve!

Hello hello my dear, I am now officially back from my super long holiday in Sweden and Finland and the blog can finally get back on track again! I hope you are having a lovely time in this summer weather and that you are getting to wear all your beautiful pieces of jewellery to summer parties, picnics and suppers in the warm summer evenings.
This travel box for jewellery came with a regular jewellery box that I bought recently, and now I can’t imagine going travelling without it!
Whenever I pack for a holiday I am such a jewellery geek and bring silver as well as gold pieces to make sure that I can match all my outfits, and obviously also something more dressy for fun nights out. I absolutely love bracelets but I have found that I don’t wear them very often, probably because I always write so much on my laptop and they get in the way and get all loud and rattly! Unpacking my jewellery this morning did however inspire me to write about what pieces to bring along on your holiday, so I hope that you will find this helpful!
You don’t have to pack a lot of jewellery, as long as you are clever about what pieces you take with you
For my three week holiday I found myself packing:
1) A silver necklace with a turquoise centre stone
2) A pair of Swarovski crystal stud earrings to match the above
3) An antique pearl necklace
4) A pair of pearl earrings to match the pearl necklace
5) Grandma’s gold earrings with turquoises as centre stones
6) Grandma’s gold locket necklace to match the earrings
7) A pair of gold drop-down pearl earrings with sparkling stones as my fabulous going-out earrings!
When you bring a good mix of styles, metals and stones, you don’t have to pack very much, since you will be able to easily mix and match them!
Travel jewellery box with pearls, gold and silver pieces
I love that the box comes with lots of little pockets and places that separate the different pieces, so that the pearls are kept safe from other pieces that might scratch them.
I only brought one pair of dressy earrings, which was perfect

I don’t wear a lot of silver at the moment, but the pieces that I do wear are very special to me and so I decided to bring this antique-style necklace with a glittering turquoise stone, which is so versatile:
You always need something in silver, and this time around I brought along this silver necklace with a turquoise stone, surrounded by small crystals that goes with so many things from my wardrobe.
I hope this was helpful in case you are stuck trying to think of what to pack for your summer holiday! I would also love to hear from you and find out what pieces you simply cannot travel without!
