As co-president and design director of Chopard, Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele is used to traveling with jewelry.
She spends about six months of the year on the road, and she always brings along pieces to wear that will represent the watch and jewelry label well at business meetings and events.
While Ms. Gruosi-Scheufele has the luxury of borrowing jewelry from Geneva-based Chopard, which has been in the watch business since 1860, she always travels with a few personal favorites as well. She tries to minimize the number of pieces she carries for insurance reasons and always matches her outfits with jewelry before she packs.
"I always pick the jewelry first and then I pick the dress," says Ms. Gruosi-Scheufele, who notes that she tends to choose dresses based on whether they are "good jewelry dresses" that won't outshine the pieces. "They're feminine and sexy but not overloaded with sequins or colors -- something plain but very well-cut."
