Be careful. If you are wearing it then it is stuff they can't finger in terms of thinking about import duty on "luxury items."
We got my mother up like a particularly vulgar Christmas tree, to be blunt! Rings on very finger, 5 or six necklaces under her jumper, 2 or 3 visible on top, a couple of valuable bracelets under the sleeves on each arm and more sparklers than were remotely civilised visible everywhere. She looked not unlike Madame Zara, except that Mum's sparklers are the Real Deal, not Romany Rose Rubbish.
Some ladies wear their biggest, sparkliest rocks on a Monday morning with their jeans. Very vulgar indeed but hey - there is no tax on vulgarity in one's taste in personal adornment for every day attire, my friend!!!
Wearing it is also the safest way to prevent anyone from nicking it en route.
Best wishes

only thing is,by the time i take it off to walk through the security check in,ill have missed my flight.
so id better put it in my hand luggage.hope they dont check it,cause they will think ive just done a heist.
