There are several issues to consider when thinking about traveling with jewelry, on Isla Colon, Bocas Del Toro or elsewhere for that matter.

 

Is the jewelry of sentimental value, and would you be crushed if you accidentally lost it?  Remember that Isla Colon is a place where you might swim, dive, snorkel, zipline, boat etc., etc. I remember a cherished opal ring getting broken after accidentally tripping against a root.
