Wear the jewels. In essence, however, TSA recommends wearing jewels. There are, however, exceptions: if the jewel is bulky it could be inspected. A large ring or necklace with a maxi pendant could hide dangerous substances. In this case, a specific check will be required. Another solution is to remove jewels before checking them and put them in hand luggage: bag, backpack or small suitcase under the x-ray control. Of course, if you are inexpensive jewelry you can easily put them in the trays along with your smartphone and coins.

Piercing. Metal piercing can cause a metal detector alarm. This, in some cases, may suggest operators further control. You may also be asked to remove the piercing from the body, obviously in the closed room. It is, however, a waste of time.

Glasses. Eyeglasses can be worn while passing to the metal detector: they should not cause the sound of the alarm. In any case, it is always better to wear them than to walk without seeing anything or almost.

La boutique Cartier all'interno dell'aeroporto di Istanbul

More than 37 million passengers passed through the Istanbul airport in 2021. In 2022 there will be many more. The international airport has become the busiest airport in Europe and the second largest airport in the world in terms of international passenger traffic. It is therefore no surprise that Cartier has decided to open a super boutique right at the Istanbul airport. There is also a geopolitical reason. With the stop of business in Russia, due to the war in Ukraine, the tourism of the Moscow upper class passes through the Middle East. And it makes a stop in the main Turkish city.

Cartier then played his game. It has partnered with the duty free company to open the brand’s largest independent retail boutique. The boutique is located in a special area of Istanbul airport, Luxury Watches & Jewelery Zone, together with the flagship stores of Bvlgari, Bottega Veneta, Céline, Dior, Fendi, Gucci, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Prada and Saint Laurent. The Cartier store expands to 130 square meters and has a very visible design, with a 12 meter high facade, designed with three-dimensional light elements that shine like gold. A style that should appeal to customers from the Middle East and Eastern Europe.

The store, in addition to Cartier jewelery, offers the entire range of the Maison’s products, such as watches and leather goods, perfumes and sunglasses. Together with the red color that characterizes the brand, the light marble stands out. An Icon Bar in the center showcases the most iconic pieces and lines such as Clash De Cartier and Santos, which reinterpret the classic Cartier models.

We are delighted to open the largest Cartier boutique in the retail travel industry with our valued partner and operator ATÜ Duty Free at Istanbul Airport. At Cartier, we continually strive to build presence in Turkey and look forward to being part of all travelers’ trips to this major international airport.

10 rules for jewelry on trip

Published on July 31, 2022

Can you go for holidays with jewels? Can you leave the jewels in the hotel? What dangers do you run with jewels on a trip? Here are ten useful tips to avoid having bad surprises ♦

Are you traveling for holidays or for work and don’t want to give up your jewels? Are you going to leave? Do you have a small treasure in your suitcase? Alt. Stop everyone. Better to think carefully about how to arrange jewelry: there are many aspects to pay attention to, of course starting from safety. The traps and dangers are many, it is not an aspect to be underestimated. Here are ten rules to follow.

1 Rule number one is trivial, yet thousands of women regularly forget it: you have arrived at the hotel rather tired and you can’t wait to go to dinner. But before leaving the hotel room, check your jewelry. Where did you put them? There is not a good idea to leave them lying around: you could tempt those who come to fix the room. But a quick preventive check is enough: in a few seconds you will remember if the earrings remained on the soap shelf of the shower or the bathtub.

2 Do not travel with jewels of extreme sentimental value. It can be the engagement ring or the earrings of the grandmother: no insurance will be able to repay you for the sentimental damage in case of theft or loss. Furthermore, hotels and airlines generally have very low refunds in the event of loss or theft. In addition, you will have to prove that you have not lost the jewels because of your carelessness.

3 If you don’t have a bank safe, consider leaving your jewelry in custody to some trusted person who, of course, doesn’t leave for a trip while on vacation. A safe in the house, like walled ones, can protect you from the theft of a hasty thief, but it will not discourage a professional determined to rob a flat.

4 Imagine before leaving home what may be the life of your holiday. If you are in a camper, or go hiking in the woods of the Alps, just bring an elastic bracelet and your wedding ring (if you have one). However, if you’re planning some elegant evening, already you can choose the jewelry to match with the clothes in the suitcase. And nothing more.

5 There are travel bags designed specifically for jewelry. Of course, are the most sought after by thieves. Many women choose instead to put the jewelry in the beauty case, between a cosmetic cream and toothpaste: a classic, as they know the professionals of theft. Also, this type of luggage, light and handy, it is also the easiest to subtract. Better to put the jewelry in a suitcase big, heavy, uncomfortable. And well it closed.

6 Close your jewelry separately, each in a small bag or box: you will travel safer and they not run the risk of scratching. There is not only the danger of theft. In fact, the greatest damage to your jewelry could be what you cause, especially if you store all the jewelry together, without protection. And remember that creams for protecting the skin from sunburn are the enemy of jewelry. After wearing them remember to clean them.

7 Do not put the jewelry in the suitcase to board on plane. Besides the danger of theft (they occur there too, unfortunately), there is a risk that your luggage goes lost. About 28 million bags each year are lost or are transfered to other destinations. Only one party is able to recover …. You have been warned.

8 If you bring jewelry to a certain value, it is the case to pay an insurance policy. The policies cover damage related to theft, robbery, loss, death, destruction and damage to your jewelry. But pay attention to the ceiling, how much is the value that will be returned in case of theft.

9 If your holiday does not include dinner with Prince Charles, the French ambassador or an evening gala with the stars of Hollywood, consider the possibility of leaving at home the real jewels and wear with simple bijoux. There are also very imaginative and entertaining, with colored crystals or cubic zirconia instead of diamonds. Above all, you will risk less.

10 If you are in the hotel’s best to leave the jewelry in the hotel safe. You do not run the risk of theft in your room when you are absent (and happen more often than you think). It is very difficult for the jewels kept in the hotel safe to be stolen or lost. Difficult, but not impossible: if your jewelry is of value, inquire about the expected refund in case of loss.
