Millennials indulge in trips and experiences even more than luxury gifts. But why not have both? Let’s pair some of the hottest Millennial destinations with the prettiest jewelry options to wear on your dates.
The definition of luxury is changing. Instead of Gucci bags and diamond bracelets, indulgence is shown through pretty social media photos with backdrops of Bali beaches and luxury resorts. That’s definitely a trend we can get behind. But what makes luxury travel even better? Fine jewelry and pretty style to go with it.
If you’re relaxing on a yacht in the Mediterranean Sea, you might as well be doing it with a set of emerald rings and diamond necklaces, right? Whether you’re looking for gift ideas for your next romantic getaway or simply a little wardrobe inspiration, here are the places we’d go and the jewelry we’d match to the location.
6 romantic getaways and the perfect jewelry gifts to match
Get snowed in at an Aspen, Colorado resort
Snowy retreats to the mountains can be just as romantic as island beaches and luxury tropical getaways. Find a cozy cabin or resort, and bring your skis. Spend your mornings hitting the slopes and your afternoons sipping wine by a crackling fireplace. Some families take yearly ski vacations, and this could be your opportunity to scope out the situation and decide if regular Colorado trips are the right choice for you.

Believe it or not, Aspen ski resorts are the place to show off your fine jewelry collection. Whether diamond earrings are the finishing touch to your Gucci ski outfit or you bring a couple of pendant necklace options for dinner and drinks, you’ll have all the opportunity to show off your best pieces.
Swim in blue waters by the islands of Greece
When the only travel you want to do is island-hopping on a private yacht, the islands of Greece are the perfect romantic getaway for couples. Take pictures by white-washed churches and hike up to the highest points of the islands for top-of-the-world ocean views.

When you’re walking the oceanside streets of small Greek towns, tie a Hermes scarf around your handbag and match your Mamma Mia! flowy dresses with casual jewelry. The style for Greece is lived in. Pair vintage emerald earrings with a set of diamond bracelets.
Enjoy tropical Bali beaches
Forest sanctuaries, snorkeling adventures with manta rays, and chasing waterfalls on sweet hiking dates. Bali’s unique landscape makes it the best spot for daytime adventures paired with luxury resort living. Stay in for couples massages and drinks, or go out to explore island jungles and visit ancient temples.
The jewelry we’d take to Bali:
Bring all the ocean-blue and vibrant green gemstones, like sapphire, emerald, and aquamarine. If you plan to take advantage of Bali’s adventure scene, bring some lightweight pendants and lab-created diamonds. That way, you can enjoy the lived-in luxury look without worrying about your jewelry getting in the way or getting lost.
Milan, Italy for fashion inspiration
With so much to do in the southern part of Italy, Milan often gets overlooked for coastal cities and the Tuscany region. But Milan is a gateway to the Alps, dotted with cathedral architecture, famous arts and operas, and of course the highly anticipated Milan Fashion Week. Take day trips to romantic Lake Como or the Swiss Alps, and choose from a variety of warm and cold weather ensembles, depending on the altitude.

If you have jewelry box aspirations but want real-world inspiration for how to wear an ensemble, it’s time to visit Milan. Just walking along the streets of this booming Italian city will give you ideas for how to own your style.
Paris, France, to live your own romcom
The City of Love. Visit Paris if you’re obsessed with art, ancient architecture, history, and buttery croissants. Grab a picnic for the Eiffel Tower park, and choose from romantic dates like a Seine river cruise, local cooking classes, and a rowboat ride in Bois de Vincennes. In Paris, you can constantly be on your feet exploring history and art — or you can stay inside for luxury hotel spa treatments or room service and movies in bed.
The jewelry we’d take to Paris, France:
Paris is the spot for your classic, vintage, and chic options. Anything timeless and elegant that pairs well with fur coats and leather boots. It’s also the place for your statement jewelry. Bring your prettiest gemstones and wear them with outrageous outfits.
Napa Valley, California for the wine obsessed
The United States only boasts a few romantic getaway options for the wine-obsessed. But Napa Valley makes up for it. Tucked away in the quieter regions of California, Napa Valley has hundreds of wineries to choose from. Before five o’clock hits, though, you can take a romantic bicycle tour of the region and stop at famous estates and art halls to admire and shop for paintings. Finish the day with a private wine and garden tour of one of Napa’s famous estates.
The jewelry we’d wear to Napa Valley, California:
As many diamonds as you can fit in your suitcase. Napa is a safe place to bring your most luxurious jewelry, and you’ll be able to wear it everywhere you go. Bring bracelets, necklaces, and halo emerald rings for every outfit.
You don’t have to choose between romantic getaways and pretty jewelry
It’s true, Millennials are changing the definition of indulgence. Easy access to flights and travel experiences means getaways are the new luxury currency. But there’s no reason to choose between jewelry and travel. You can have both. Better yet, you can carefully plan your jewelry and clothing ensembles to bring your best to the destination of your choice.
