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!

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!

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.

September 13, 2019 at 1:18 am

Glad you are enjoying our travel jewelry guide! Yes, we’d love if you’d share with your best friend and it sounds like she buys a lot of jewelry!

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

I love the hot air balloon locket – one of my good friends proposed to his wife on a hot-air balloon and ever since they’ve seemed pretty romantic to me. 🙂

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

You killed me with this article! Looks like somebody is going to spend some money on jewelry (me! me!). I checked some of the products and I like that they are affordable. I can’t wait to get some of these!

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

Marty Post author

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

October 10, 2016 at 4:14 am

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

16 Wanderlust Jewelry for Travel Lovers

Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. If you click one of them, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.

I LOVE fashionable, costume jewelry – they are fun and easy to wear. Throughout the years, I have collected boxes of travel jewelry. My MOST favorite ones are necklaces with pendants and bracelets.

I used to own quite a few chunky or statement rings, but since I got married I love wearing my wedding band/bridal set only.

Buy a small travel jewelry box to carry and store items

Silver (a little tarnished, vintage kind) is my go-to metal for travel jewelry, followed by muted gold color. Rose gold is also my favorite – I mean, who doesn’t love variety?

The most affordable layering pieces of wanderlust jewelry are silver .925 and stainless steel. I prefer neckpieces to be dainty so that I can layer on, or style them on their own. 

This curated list of wanderlust jewelry is available from ETSY, and they will touch every travel lover’s heart. I have selected a few of my favorites below. 

Neckpieces with pendants: Travel inspired jewelry

I wear my love for travel on my sleeves  neck! I am into muted gold pendants and designs these days – and they look fab. The most popular travel themed pendants include airplanes, globes, a north star, a compass, a city name, or a map. 

.925 silver, gold plated, rose gold, fabric, and stainless steel metal are various options to choose from, for the chain or neckpiece. Here is where you can buy from:

1. Global Citizen necklace – ShopCkanani

CKanani showcases this stunning 18 inch fully gold-filled world map necklace. It is perfect for layering for yourself, or for the global citizen in your life! Christie is a travel blogger, and her shop has more designs for travel lovers – like the plane pendant , and the ‘ wanderlust’ pendant . 

This item ships from the USA. 

Click to view ‘Global citizen’ necklace and more on ShopCkanani

Bashkir honey

Bashkir honey is highly valued in Russia and in Europe. The reason is its benefits for health and excellent taste. Diastatic power is the means of measuring the quality of honey: the higher, the better. Diastatic power of South Russia honey is 5-8, Altaic one is up to 18 and Bashkir honey is 22-50.

Zhostovo Metal Trays

Traditional Zhostovo painting depicts large and vibrant flowers on the dark saturated background. This handicraft emerged when tea spread all over Russia. Before that people drank herbal teas, sbiten and mead. The tea ceremony called for new accessories, that is why the Zhostovo trays were invented.

Everyone knows that it is freezing cold in Russia. You may want to feel it for a moment (just to have a glipmse of the Russian winter), but then put on warm wool mittens and feel the warm Russian soul. Try them on and feel like a real Russian!

Balalaika is the most famous traditional Russian musical instrument. Nobody knows its exact origin and the time it came to Russia. They say that its name came from Tatar language. In Tatar “balalar” means “children”, and Russian word “balakat’” (to speak, babble like children do) derives from it.

An electric samovar in traditional Gzhel style is a cool Russian souvenir for anyone. A bit bulky to bring back from your trip, but you will appreciate it as soon as you see it in your kitchen. Turn it on and suddenly you will feel generous and broad Russian soul in every corner of your house.

These warm felt boots made of sheep wool have earned love and respect of all Russian people. Valenki is the perfect footwear to protect your feet from bitter Russian cold. These boots came to Russia during the Golden Horde period through Turkic and Mongol people.

You can bring a snow globe almost from every country you visit as a tourist, but anyway, a tiny St. Basil’s Cathedral from Moscow is a must have! The central cathedral ensemble in Kremlin is so nice to have on your mantelpiece along with other souvenirs from different countries.

The North Capital, the Second Capital, the City on the Neva and the main cultural capital of Russia – this is all about Saint Petersburg. You can easily bump into people reading Pushkin in the streets, and the city itself seems to be infused with melancholy. Here is a list of things to buy in Saint Petersburg.

Candies from St. Petersburg Chocolate Factory

“Leningradskiye” candies will remind you of the city’s recent past. This candy brand was started in the 20th century and has a lot of admirers, which keep buying their favorite sweets year after year. “The candies that taste like St. Petersburg” could be an advertising slogan for this souvenir.

Opera Glasses

Going to St. Petersburg and missing its theatres is the same as going to Italy and missing Venice. You will surely need opera glasses while visiting this city. This is a cool souvenir for an ardent theatergoer, and it may come in handy for simple everyday tasks (watching your neighbors or whatever).

Podstakannik (tea glass holder)

If you want to surprise your family or friends, buy them a podstakannik. This unusual souvenir is commonly used in Russian trains. Tea glasses in trains are always served with the help of podstakannik, to prevent the tea from spilling around. The history of this item goes back more than 200 years.

Osetra caviar is a traditional Russian delicacy with exquisite taste and a bunch of minerals, which are very good for health.

Emperor’s Porcelain

The legendary “Cobalt Net” style white-blue tea set is a signature product of Emperor’s Porcelain Factory. The pattern was designed by artist Anna Yatskevich and it turned into a symbol of blockaded Leningrad.

“Raketa” and “Pobeda” watch

Petrodvorets Watch Factory «Raketa» releases a limited collection of watches, dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Back in the old days only military officers, politicians, artists, shock workers, and veterans of labor owned these watches.

Kazan is considered to be the third capital of Russia and perfectly balances Tatar and Russian culture. This city is also a sports capital, because the number of sports stadiums and sporting events is just going up through the roof! Here are some things to bring home from the capital of Tatarstan:

Tughra or Shamail

Shamail is a surah of Quran embroidered with gold threads on velvet base. Another local souvenir based upon Arabic calligraphy is Tughra. Back in earlier days it was used as a personal stamp and signature of the rulers. You can choose among ready-made tughras with Arabic or Russian inscriptions.

Tatar National Sweets

Chak-chak, talkysh kaleve, baursak… Sounds good and tastes awesome! The king of the local pastry is honey-dripping chak-chak. Usually it is sold packed in cardboard or plastic boxes or sold loose. These are small balls of fried dough, soaked in hot honey syrup and formed into pyramids.

Classical tubeteika hat

One does not simply visit Kazan and leave without a tubeteika hat. This ancient male hat is called “tubetei” here, and it protects you from sun/wind/bad thoughts (just kidding!) You can find tons of them throughout Kazan, and you can choose any style, size, material and decorations you like.

Tatar filigree

Every woman will be overjoyed to get this intricately designed filigree jewelry! Tatar knobby filigree is the ancient technique that has been used solely by Kazan jewelers since the earliest times. If you can’t find authentic filigree, you can choose any Tatar-style jewelry, which is exciting.

“Ichigi” leather boots

In the old days everything was made by hand, and authentic ichigi are crafted exactly the same way nowadays. This traditional footwear is light, with hard heels counters and soft toes. Well crafted soft leather is decorated with traditional ornaments and sewn with special decorative Tatar stitches.

Recently Sochi has turned into Russia’s favorite place to go on a vacation. If you are fed up with corny seashell souvenirs, Olympic bear mascots, cutting boards from Khosta and fake Bosco T-shirts, here is something interesting:

“Gifts from Krasnaya Polyana”

This gift is for foodies. This winery produces liqueurs, wines, aperitifs, nastoikas and bitters. You can find quite unusual sorts of alcohol here. For example, “Krasnaya Polyana” herbal liqueur is made from 24 different herbs and 8 fruits, and bottled into a beautiful gift ceramic container.

Atauchi Jewelry

Recently handmade craft has been developing by leaps and bounds in Sochi. Take a look at Atauchi Jewelry filled with love for mountains and Quechua people’s culture. One of the collections is called Rasu (“snow-capped peaks”) and every element of it will remind you of Krasnaya Polyana’s mountains.

“Sochi” Sweatshirt

The taste of churchkhela and the sound of the sea inside of a seashell interpreted by industrial mentality, this is what “Fabrika” creative lab is all about. “Fabrika” dared to take a new look at commonplace souvenirs from Sochi and conveys it through sweatshirts, T-shirts, metal mugs and magnets.

Krasnodar tea

This resort city hosts six major tea companies which pick no less than 300 tons of tea leaves a year. This is mostly whole leaf pekoe tea, selected tippy and broken leaf tea. And all these sorts are excellent! By the way, “Matsesta tea” brand won “Product of the year” prize a few years ago.

Dried Persimmon

Persimmon is one of main symbols of Sochi. Dried persimmon is good for your health, it is delicious and it lasts a long time. Besides, you will have the sheer fun of presenting this bunch of some grey-brownish stuff to your friend with the words “this is for you”. Enjoy the reaction!

Every gift you bring home from your trip to Russia will represent some part of its rich culture and multiple handicrafts. But what is more important, every souvenir you take with you will bring a piece of Russian hospitality and big heart to your home.

7 new luxury Russian jewelry brands

1. Ilgiz Fazulzyanov

This world-renowned jewelry maker began his career in the 1990s. At first, Fazulzyanov worked in stained glass, but at the age of 26 he opened his own jewelry workshop. International acclaim first came 10 years ago: Ilgiz twice won the Grand Prix in the International Jewelry Design Excellence Award competition, often described as the ‘Oscars for jewelers’. Then, in 2016 the Moscow Kremlin Museums staged a solo exhibition of his outstanding jewelry.

Under the brand name of Ilgiz F., this master creates unique ornamental pieces, some of which have already become collector items, appearing for sale at Christie’s and Sotheby’s.

His signature techniques are hot enamel and stained-glass inserts, and he takes special pride in ornamental enamel pieces. This is a complex technique with historical connotations, traditionally common in Muslim countries, whose jewelry traditions inspire Fazulzyanov. In interviews he often compares himself to an artist. Indeed, his work, owing to its color and plasticity, resembles miniature artworks.

Last year Ilgiz opened a gallery in Moscow (he also has a boutique in Paris, on the prestigious street, Faubourg Saint-Honoré), where he shows not only his own work, but also curatorial exhibitions of contemporary Russian jewelry art.

www.ilgiz.com  

2. Leonid Agafonov

This year the Agafonov Workshop will mark its 25th anniversary. It was founded by jewelry maker Leonid Agafonov, whose daughter Maria is now actively taking over the business. The workshop is famous for its enamel work and bone-carved pieces. When working with precious stones, the jewelry makers engage well-known gem cutters such as the world-famous master of artistic gem cutting, Dmitry Samorukov.

The workshop’s pride is a jewelry box made of American walnut and carved mammoth tusk. It was born from the imagination of a master bone carver and realized by the entire workshop. Work on the jewelry box took almost four months.

www.agafonov-master.ru

3. Edward Nikitin

It is difficult to describe what the award-winning jeweler produces as ornamental jewelry. According to experts, his work, with its profound philosophical overtones, can be described as metaphors in jewelry. Thus, in creating his Games of Unicorns brooches (pictured right), Edward, who is originally from the Ural mountain region where East meets West, sets out the connection between different cultural traditions and layers of history. In the Royal Hunt composition he portrays the eternal theme of confrontation between man and time.

The complex symbolism of his pieces is combined with subtlety of execution: Edward is a perfectionist and takes each piece to an artistic absolute. This brilliant jewelry designer also remains true to himself in small items, turning even accessories - for example, gold jabot brooches - into complex jewelry miniatures.

www.ednikitin.com

4. Zakhar Borisenko

Borisenko's Epic Jewelry brand is still young, but it distinguishes itself with a flamboyant and unconventional style. As the only jewelry house in Russia that works with carbon fiber and creates gold rings in the shape of paper clips, its target audience is mostly young professionals, and this is why it has a sense of humor.

Zakhar goes for unusual designs, doing collaborations with famous theater designers and illustrators. For five years the brand has been represented in Hong Kong and is a frequent participant at international jewelry exhibitions.

Epic Jewelry is also known for its pieces that have adjustable parts and ornaments with engineering themes, such as the Turbines   series of rings and cufflinks, as well as a series that utilizes ebony .

www.epic.jewelry

5. Yaroslav Argentov

The Yaroslav ArgentoV brand specializes in exceptional jewelry work. The firm’s owner believes that jewelry design should be backed up by genuine craftsmanship rather than trends and fashion. The jewelry house is famous for its glyptic work: intaglios and cameos made by Russian craftsmen, and also stone-cut jewelry miniatures mounted to make perfectly functional pieces.

The country's best intaglio carvers work with Yaroslav - in particular Vladimir Popovich, whose work has been recognized far beyond the borders of Russia. Vladimir is rightly regarded as belonging to the pleiad of the world's best masters of pictorial intaglio. The creation of artistic compositions using the technique of relief engraving requires particular meticulousness and experience, born out of many years of working with stones.

In particular, ArgentoV has proudly launched Vladimir's work from the Russian Seasons series - the intaglio Carnival (pictured on photo), which depicts the legendary dancers Vaslav Nijinsky and Lydia Lopokova, executed on a blue topaz.

6. Igor Uchevatov

This jeweler from Krasnoyarsk uses elaborate materials in his work. In particular, a series of ornamental items made of titanium has spread his reputation far and wide. Igor puts together complex sculptural compositions using elements that are worked with filigree precision: Anodised metal components are given unusual colors, enamel inserts and a scattering of precious stones.

Last year Uchevatov's work was recognized on the national level with his participation in the exhibition, Best Artists of Russia 2018 - Decorative and Applied Art.

7. Sergei Izmestiev

Izmestiev Diamonds produces thematic collections with an emphasis on precious stones. The brand has an impressive range of wares; for instance, a Dragon ring featuring a splendid Ceylon sapphire, a Grapes brooch with South Sea pearls, and an Ivy brooch with an elegant demantoid and diamond pavé setting.

The brand's new collection is called Japanese Garden, and is based on themes drawn from the natural world of that Asian country. The centerpiece is a vivid flaming brooch, Wind in the Garden (bottom of the pic), made of rubies, Pamir spinels, diamonds, morganites and enamel inserts.
