Behind the Scenes at Ben-Amun: Jet Setting with Ben-Amun

Although winter has decided to return for a (hopefully brief) encore, we are in the midst of Spring Break season, which means we’re in the midst of over-packing. Whether you’re destined for Mexico, Florida, or China with Ben-Amun, the need to accessorize is non-negotiable, but for us single ladies carrying our own bags, those accessories can get heavy. So, in an effort not to herniate any discs we’ve decided to help you edit your vacation jewelry box. That said, you should know that here at Ben-Amun leaving jewelry behind when we travel is not exactly what we do best, though travel is something we’ve been doing a lot of lately.

While Ben-Amun has always been an internationally minded brand, between Isaac’s Egyptian roots and his world art inspirations, in the past year our global presence has expanded to include famed department stores that you’re likely to pop into should you find yourself abroad. For instance, should your destination be Paris you can find us at Le Bon Marche. If you’re sticking closer to home and plan to take a crack at Canada, Simons is where you can get your Ben-Amun fix, or if your itinerary is particularly ambitious, Harvey Nichols Hong Kong, and Bloomingdale’s Dubai have also gotten on board with Ben-Amun recently. For anyone who’s gotten that far, and is dying for a chance to meet the man, the myth, the legend, Isaac Manevitz, scoot over to Beijing, where for the first time ever Ben-Amun is participating in China’s International Clothing and Accessories Fair!

But enough about us, let’s talk about you. So you’re preparing for a weeklong getaway, and to accompany you on the trip you’ve chosen 10 necklaces, earrings aplenty, and enough bracelets for a month’s worth of arm parties. What do you do? Well, you carefully put it all back in your jewelry box, and you take the staples shown below instead.
