Your suitcase is packed, the sunscreen is in, and your favorite summer dresses are laid out. But then comes the final, crucial question: which jewelry to take on your trip? Finding the right earrings for a vacation can be a challenge. Of course, you want to look beautiful during that golden hour on the terrace or during an elaborate dinner by the coast, but heavy earrings that you want to take off after an hour or items that are too fragile for your carry-on are far from ideal. At Jewellery by Mae, we understand that vacation is all about relaxation and enjoyment. That's why we've made a selection of earrings that not only look stunning with your sun-kissed skin but are also feather-light and comfortable for long days full of adventure.
Why lightweight earrings are essential while traveling
When you're on vacation, you're often more active than at home. You walk through picturesque villages, spend hours on the beach, and dance deep into the night. The last thing you need is painful or stretched earlobes due to overly heavy accessories. Lightweight materials like resin, synthetic resin, or high-quality alloy are therefore perfect choices. They offer the possibility to choose large, striking shapes without the weight you'd normally expect from large jewelry.
Moreover, lightweight earrings save space and weight in your suitcase. While a pair of earrings doesn't weigh much on its own, every gram counts in the world of air travel and carry-on luggage. By choosing smart materials, you can bring more variety without worrying about space in your toiletry bag. Our collection in the alloy earrings section is specially curated to offer that perfect balance between size and wearing comfort.
Stylish earrings for vacation: from beach to dinner
A good vacation wardrobe consists of items that you can style in multiple ways. This also applies to your jewelry. The ideal earrings for vacation are versatile enough to suit both your bikini during the day and your maxi dress in the evening. For example, think of materials that evoke nature, such as shells or stones. These natural elements immediately enhance the summer feeling.
For a day at the beach, minimalist hoops or small studs are ideal. They don't get in the way while swimming or sunbathing and stay securely in place. However, if you want to dress up for an evening dinner with a sea view, you can certainly choose a statement piece. Our natural stone earrings are perfect for this; they add color to your face, and the natural variations in the material ensure that each pair is unique, just like your vacation memories.
This season's trend: the 'Boho-Chic' look
The boho-chic style has been inextricably linked with summer for years. This trend is all about freedom, color, and texture. You can easily create this look by layering, not only in your clothing but also in your earrings. If you have multiple piercings, combine a larger hoop with a smaller stud or an earcuff for a cool, vacation-like look. This immediately gives your look a casual yet polished touch.
Material use: silver or gold for travel?
The eternal debate: do you bring gold or silver jewelry? On vacation, this often depends on your destination and your skin type. In a warm, tropical destination and skin that tans quickly, gold-colored accessories often look beautifully warm. Gold reflects sunlight in a way that further accentuates your complexion. However, if you're a fan of the minimalist, Scandinavian look or heading to the cool mountains, then silver can be very refreshing.
If you can't choose, there's good news: mixing is allowed! It's completely trendy nowadays to wear gold and silver interchangeably. For example, bring a pair of gold-colored earrings and combine them with one of our refined silver-colored necklaces. This gives you flexibility when putting together your outfits. Moreover, with our stainless steel options, you have less to worry about discoloration due to sweat or humid sea air, which is a huge advantage during a sunny vacation.
How to safely store earrings in your luggage?
Nothing is more annoying than arriving at your destination and discovering that your necklaces are tangled or that one of your favorite earrings is bent. Good organization is half the battle. Preferably use a small travel jewelry case with soft compartments. Don't have one? Then there are clever hacks like using a button to keep a pair of earrings together, or sticking them through a piece of cardboard.
In your suitcase, earrings are vulnerable to pressure. Always place your jewelry box between soft items of clothing, such as t-shirts or scarves, in the middle of your suitcase. Avoid the sides where most impacts are absorbed during loading and unloading at the airport. If you choose the bestsellers from our shop, you can be sure that you have quality that can take a beating, but some caution is always advisable.
