Travel Inspired Jewelry Guide: Travel Themed Jewelry for Travelers

Last updated: December 12, 2023 - Written by Jessica Norah 97 Comments

If you love travel and jewelry you’re probably going to love this guide to jewelry for travelers! We focus primarily on handmade and unique travel jewelry, and cover jewelry that will suit any budget and style.

I fell in love with travel themed jewelry while searching for travel themed wedding rings for Laurence and I’s wedding. I have since acquired more travel jewelry pieces and love using jewelry as a way of expressing my passion for travel.

We’ve put together a list of a wide range of travel jewelry items in this article for those looking for a way to express their own love for travel, searching for a gift for a traveler, or just looking for inspiration about what types of travel themed jewelry are out there.

Our list contains dozens of items that span the range of jewelry types, budgets, and fashion tastes. Although many of the jewelry pieces are designed with women in mind, we’ve also included a number of unisex and men’s jewelry pieces. 

We have physically reviewed many of these items and hope you enjoy this list of wonderful travel themed jewelry items and perhaps you’ll discover your new favorite pieces of jewelry along the way! 

Table of Contents:

Travel Inspired Jewelry: Best Jewelry for Travelers

As I said, I got a bit obsessed with travel inspired jewelry when searching for a design for our engagement/wedding rings (we purchased a customized version of these World Map rings ). After planning our wedding, I wrote a post on handmade travel themed wedding products , which included a few travel themed jewelry items. I wanted to expand on that to write a full article focused solely on travel jewelry, so here we go!

Just so you know, many of the items on this list we physically reviewed. Some were items we purchased or received as gifts, and others were given to us by artists for review. The other pieces are just ones I loved when searching for travel related jewelry online.

The majority of the items on our list are handmade or hand customized items, made by a single artist, family, or a small business. We love supporting these great individual artists and small businesses, and many of the jewelry pieces featured were inspired by the wanderlust and travels of the artists’ themselves!

But we have also included jewelry from national and international fine jewelry stores as well to provide a range of jewelry options. Prices of pieces on the list range from under $10 to over $500, with the vast majority of jewelry falling in the $25 to $75 range.

If you are looking for a traveler gift idea, but don’t find it here, consider checking out our guide to gifts for travelers . It has over 75 gift suggestions that range across budgets and traveler types.

We also have a guide to gifts for travelers made in the USA and British made gift ideas for travelers , if you are looking for items specifically made in the USA or the United Kingdom. Both guides include several travel-inspired jewelry suggestions.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have about any of these items included. We hope that this list helps inspire you to show your wanderlust in your own jewelry collection! 

Travel Inspired Jewelry: Travel Themed Necklaces

Necklaces are some of the most commonly worn pieces of jewelry. Whether you love long pendant necklaces, dainty sterling silver necklaces, chunky chokers, or personalized lockets, there are plenty of ways to show of your love for travel.

State & Country Love Necklaces

This delicate sterling silver necklace is in the shape of the state of Ohio with a heart cutout. Any country, U.S. state, or continent is possible and pieces are also available in 14K gold or rose gold. Most pendants are available in three sizes, the heart location can be moved (or removed), various chain lengths are available, and text engraving options are available. 

Ivy By Design is one of my favorite shops on Etsy for state, country, or continent-related jewelry. Ivy can also do custom designs.

Great guide to so much travel themed jewelry, who knew there were so many options! I am wondering if you have any suggestions for anklets for a trendy young woman who loves to travel?

November 25, 2019 at 4:20 am

I would suggest something fairly simply like a nice chain with a compass, compass rose, globe, or airplane charm. For an anklet, especially if gifting, I’d recommend something made of either a fairly strong metal that doesn’t tarnish easily or a strong cord material as anklets can get a lot of wear and tear and are often more exposed to dirt/moisture than other types of jewelry. You can explore some options on Etsy here .

Hope that helps! Jessica

I like how comprehensive this guide is because it enumerated the perfect jewelry for each type of travel. Since my best friend is a big fan of jewelry and traveler herself, she wanted to buy additional pieces for her growing collection. I think I need to share this list with her so that she can check what type of jewelry will she be buying to help her save time and resources.

Hi Jenny, They can definitely customize that necklace for you to have a silhouette of Ecuador on it – just contact Bridget at Clouds and Currents and tell them before placing an order! You can also change the heart to another shape or add any extra wooden charm if you wish. It is great that most of these pieces are quite customizable! Best, Jessica

October 15, 2016 at 5:51 am

Hi Wehaf, I definitely agree as my husband and I have taken 3 hot air balloon rides together 🙂 I’ve always loved the look and idea of hot air balloons and love them on this locket – the locket is one of my favorite items as you can add so much customization and make it truly unique and special. There are also some really nice hot air balloon earrings on Etsy as well! Jessica

October 15, 2016 at 5:49 am

Hi Ruth! Sorry to “force” you to spend some money but I think you’ll love some of these pieces. And yes, the jewelry we selected are a very good value for the price (in our opinion!) and many of these sell for under $20. Even our wedding rings were an excellent value and under $400 each. Let me know what you order, and feel free to message me if you have any questions about a specific piece! Best, Jessica

Richard Brandt Post author

October 14, 2016 at 2:31 pm

I really like that compass watch.

October 14, 2016 at 3:02 pm

Hi Richard, Yes, Laurence really loves the compass watch and has been wearing it everyday! The only downside is that it is difficult to tell the exact time as it just had the compass directions for 12, 3, 6, and 9, but the in between hours/minutes can be a bit trickier. But Laurence still loves wearing it. If you want a watch for both a cool accessory and to tell exact time, I would choose one of Carmen’s designs with numbers. You can also message Carmen as she may be able to do a compass design with numbers or have other suggestions; she is always adding new designs. ~ Jessica

I love the stuff you picked so much! This jewelry is a lot of fun, I am actually wearing a silver cuff with a map of the New York City subway system right now and I think I get more questions and compliments about it from strangers on the streetcar or at the grocery store than with anything else I ever wear. Travel jewelry is a great conversation starter.

October 14, 2016 at 11:35 am

Hi Marty – Yes, it is! Laurence has been wearing a few pieces as have I during our recent 6 weeks of travels and people often comment. A NYC subway map bracelet is a great idea as well – I think Doreen at Decemeber Moon Designs makes those on Etsy! Jessica

Katt Lewis Post author

October 13, 2016 at 5:11 am

I think the heart shaped world is the best and would be great if it were a set with earrings, necklace and bracelet or charm for bracelet.

October 13, 2016 at 7:32 am

Hi Katt, Yes, that is a nice pendant. Perfect for daily wear or even a wedding! Since the blue heart shaped world is a pendant you could buy multiple pendants and easily convert them into earrings, necklace, and a bracelet. You can also contact Kristen to see if she could do a custom order for you if you’d like the pieces made for you. Best, Jessica

I got the cuff links for my husband a couple of years ago because I thought they were so neat. I like the state outline idea, but I have to say that CT doesn’t have a very interesting state. Sort of makes me want to be from Texas:) The wristlet is something totally new to me – that is a great idea!

October 11, 2016 at 6:42 pm

Hi Seana, Yes, Laurence loves his map cufflinks as well as the UK ones! Yes, some states definitely have better outlines (thinking Texas, Ohio, Florida…) haha. The wristlet is definitely a great idea for those who want to go handsfree and don’t need many items! ~ Jessica

Best 25 Year Anniversary Jewelry

Reaching the 25th “silver” wedding anniversary is a major milestone, requiring an especially meaningful gift. Silver jewelry is an ideal way to mark the occasion, combining beauty, meaning, and daily wearability. Let’s examine the appeal of silver as a hallmark 25th wedding anniversary gift and explore some of our favorite pieces from John Atencio’s celebrated jewelry collection.

The Significance of Silver

When it comes to 25th wedding anniversaries, silver brings compelling traditional appeal. This lustrous metal has long represented the strength and beauty of a lasting marriage. In fact, during medieval times, a couple celebrating 25 years together was considered as rare and valuable as pure silver.

The tradition of celebrating significant wedding anniversaries with specific materials can be traced back to the Holy Roman Empire in medieval Germany. According to historical records, husbands would crown their wives with a silver wreath on their 25th wedding anniversary, symbolizing the harmony and strength of their union. The 25th anniversary was considered a major milestone, as reaching such a length of marriage was rare and valued highly, akin to the preciousness of silver.

This practice eventually spread and evolved, becoming a part of Western cultural traditions. The symbolism of silver as a representation of the 25th anniversary underscores the qualities of a lasting marriage: durability, resilience, and the inherent beauty that grows with time.

Beyond tradition, silver makes practical sense for an anniversary gift . Its versatile styling complements both casual daily wear and special occasions. When properly cared for, sterling silver jewelry will last a lifetime. Each time your spouse puts on a beloved new ring or necklace, it can serve as a meaningful reminder of your monumental milestone.

Timeless Silver Jewelry Selections

The right silver jewelry can become an instant family heirloom. When selecting your 25th anniversary jewelry gift, look for timeless designs that hold meaning while also providing stylish wearability for decades to come. Some favorites from John Atencio’s collection include:

Diamonds and Mixed Metals

A simple way to accessorize, sterling silver can make a bold statement. Sleek and refined, the pretty pale metal evokes casual elegance when complemented by yellow gold accents and fiery diamond gemstones. Take, for instance, John Atencio’s Elixir Pave Diamond Necklace , a stunning sterling silver creation with brilliant pave diamonds. Paired with fiery sterling silver diamond earrings and a pave diamond ring , these scintillating stunners add intriguing flair to even the most elegant ensembles. 

Topaz and Sterling Silver Rings and Bracelets

With its bright white luster, silver pairs perfectly with all sorts of different gems. When combined with the eye-catching color of topaz, in particular, sterling silver gemstone anniversary rings and bracelets make great gifts.

With a ranking of eight on the Mohs scale for hardness , topaz is durable enough for daily wear. It also has refractive and prismatic properties that shine brightly in sterling silver settings. 

Some stunning examples are found in John Atencio’s Sahara Collection . Drawing inspiration from the mesmerizing allure of the Sahara Desert, each creation melds contemporary artistic flair with the elegance of emerald-cut gemstones , achieving a balance between minimalism and intricate detail. The hallmark symbols of John's distinct style – lines, circles, and triangles – are intricately integrated into every piece, bringing a unique harmony in each design.

Other intriguing gemstone and silver options can be found in John’s Sahara , Elixir , and Arrivo collections. Each offers uniquely creative designs featuring different stone shapes, from emerald-cut to marquise to trillion.

These days, blackened silver is becoming a common component of stylish summer looks. Also known as oxidized sterling silver , this genuine sterling silver is purposely darkened using chemicals that hasten the natural tarnishing process. The final effect creates a striking dark patina made of a thin layer of silver sulfide on the exterior.

Oxidized silver’s deep, dark patina results in alluring jewelry with an eye-catching edge. Some compelling examples are found in John Atencio’s Elixir and Duplex collections, which include a wide variety of uniquely intriguing jewelry pieces with bold blackened silver attributes.

Both collections include artfully crafted jewelry pieces with varying amounts of oxidized sterling silver throughout. At the same time, John has plenty of other stylish and versatile silver jewelry pieces to choose from. If you’re interested in adding oxidized silver or traditional sterling silver to your collection, John Atencio is the only name you need to know.

Creative Gift Presentation Ideas

How you present your silver anniversary gift can be just as memorable as the item itself. Instead of simply handing over a ring box, take time to create a thoughtful reveal. 

Here are some ideas to spark inspiration:

• Display jewelry in a custom wood box handmade by you, the kids, or grandchildren.
• Wrap the gift box in layers of tissue paper, photo slides, or printed memories.

Properties and Care for Silver Jewelry

Understanding silver’s unique properties allows you to select pieces that will stand the test of time. Here's what to know about this precious metal:

• Sterling silver is 92.5% silver mixed with copper and/or other metals for durability. This content helps the jewelry retain its shape and structure.
• Silver is extremely malleable and ductile, allowing it to be transformed into delicate, detailed designs, including filigree patterning.
• It has a luminous white shine when polished but can oxidize and tarnish over time with exposure to air and skin oils. Regular gentle cleaning preserves brightness.
• While pure silver is incredibly soft, sterling silver is more durable for daily wear. But it still requires care to prevent scratches, dents, and damage.

Taking proper care of sterling silver jewelry keeps it looking its best. Follow these tips:

• Store pieces in anti-tarnish bags or cloth to limit air exposure.
• Clean with a polishing cloth or mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that can cause scratching.
• Remove silver jewelry before bathing, swimming, cleaning, and other physical activities.
• Keep your jewelry scratch-free by storing it properly when not being worn. You should also consider lining boxes with anti-tarnish cloth.

As you shop for the perfect 25th anniversary present, keep the tradition of silver in mind. But don’t be afraid to think outside the box, either. With creative styling and personalization, you can find distinctive jewelry that symbolizes the past 25 years while looking ahead to the next 25.
