Guest heieup Posted March 16, 2008 I had the same concern, in essence checked in luggage isn't safe enough, shipping with belongings also isn't great with the insurance requirements etc etc. Posting is a no no because you'd have to pay import duty when it arrived. We have finally concluded that either going like mr T or carrying it in hand luggage is the safest way to go ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Gill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
