Is it worth getting a dummy or travel-safe engagement ring for holidays?
Yes, many people now choose a travel ring to avoid risking their real engagement ring abroad.
It’s a practical and stress-free option, especially when visiting places where theft, damage, or loss are more likely. A travel ring can be worn at the beach, while hiking, or in cities where you prefer to keep valuables hidden.
Do I still need a travel ring if my real ring is insured?
Even with insurance, a travel ring is a smart choice.
Insurance may cover the cost, but it can’t replace the sentimental value. Travel rings let you enjoy your trip without worrying about damage, theft, or misplacing your original ring.
Can I swim with my engagement ring, or should I wear a stand-in ring abroad?
It’s best not to swim with your real engagement ring.
Water — especially cold water — can cause your fingers to shrink, increasing the risk of your ring slipping off. Chlorine and saltwater can also damage certain metals and stones. A travel ring is a safer alternative for beach holidays or poolside breaks.
Is it obvious that a temporary or travel ring isn’t real?
Not at all — quality travel rings look convincingly real.
Modern placeholder rings are made with realistic stones and metal finishes. Unless closely inspected, they often pass for the real thing, making them perfect for holidays or social occasions where you’d prefer to leave the real one at home.
