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!

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

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

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

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

8 Beautiful Travel Necklaces for Wanderlust Addicts

I like showing the world my biggest addiction, and if there’s one thing I can never get enough of, it’s travel-inspired jewelry. The most minimalist travel necklaces are all it takes to make people understand what I’m all about, and I love that you can find high-quality pieces that are also reasonably priced.

So whether you’re looking to expand your own collection or looking for a gift for a person who always wanders, here are eight fantastic options.

Beautiful Travel Necklaces for Those Who Love to Wander

Engraved ring necklace.

I think most, if not all travelers, like to keep a record of which places they visited, and one great way to do so is with an  engraved ring necklace from Vagabond Life .

Basically, you start by buying the necklace itself (or using one you already have at home), and you can purchase a ring for every continent, country, or state you traveled to.

Vagabond Life’s jewelry is made from 316L stainless steel, and I love how beautiful and delicate my necklace looks. They also use eco-friendly packaging and donate some of their profits to wildlife rescue and environmental organizations.

Buy this engraved ring necklace on Vagabond Life (rings and chains are sold separately) and use the code ORA20 at checkout for a 20% discount on your order!

World Map Necklace

This gorgeous necklace is the first piece of travel inspired jewelry I’ve bought for myself, and I love how it flaunts my biggest passion.

I’ve purchased mine on Etsy, but the specific seller doesn’t work with them anymore, so the item I have is no longer available.

However, you can still find plenty of similar if not identical pieces on Etsy, including  this world map necklace from  triumjewelry .

It comes in 3 different diameters, and it is made from 925 sterling silver (and 18k gold plating if you choose the gold or rose gold version). Another similar necklace can be found on Vagabond Life.

Get this beautiful necklace from triumjewelry on Etsy.

Alternatively, purchase your world map necklace from Vagabond Life ( use the code ORA20 at checkout for a 20% discount on your order ) or Amazon .

Compass Necklace

Another beautiful necklace for travelers is  Vagabond Life ‘s compass necklace . It comes in 3 colors (silver, gold, and rose gold) and is made from Stainless steel and 18K gold plating.

I’ve gotten many compliments about it, and I’m super happy about the quality and details.

Buy this compass necklace on Vagabond Life and use the code ORA20 at checkout for a 20% discount on your order!

Alternatively, check out this similar version on Amazon .

Mountains and Coordinates Necklace

If you’re a nature lover female traveler or a guy looking for a gift for an outdoorsy girlfriend , this adorable travel necklace from SincerelySilverShop on Etsy is for you.

Made from sterling silver, it comes in 3 colors (silver, gold, and rose gold) and can be personalized with the coordinates of your choice.

Read reviews and get this necklace on Etsy or check out this similar version on Amazon .

Country-Shaped Necklaces

I love this quote “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list,” but my favorite place will forever be Spain . It is my home away from home, and my obsession keeps getting bigger and bigger.

For those who keep coming back to the same destination, the shops  Silversmith925 and InitialNecklaces  on Etsy have dozens of country-shaped and state-shaped necklaces.

Made from sterling silver, the necklaces from InitialNecklaces can also be gold, white gold, or rose gold plated.

Find the perfect country-shaped necklace from Silversmith925 or InitialNecklaces on Etsy.

City Skyline Necklaces

While I love every part of Spain, Madrid has a special place in my heart, and I know every traveler has their favorite city. That’s why I was so thrilled to find this city skyline necklace from CaitlynMinimalist on Etsy .

From Madrid to New York to Rome to Rio de Janeiro , this shop sells stunning pieces, and they can even create a custom skyline design for any city you’d like!

This necklace is made from 925 sterling silver (with an optional finish of 18K gold or rose gold) and is elegantly packaged.

Purchase this city skyline necklace on Etsy.

Next Stop Everywhere Necklace

If you’re looking for a piece of jewelry with a travel quote, check out this necklace from Bubblebox on Etsy . On one side, the phrase “next stop: everywhere” is engraved, and on the other, there’s a compass sign.

It is made from brass (with an optional finish of 24k yellow gold, 14k rose gold, white rhodium, or black rhodium) or 925 sterling silver and has a matte finish.

Browse the latest prices and buy this necklace on Etsy.

Airplane Necklace

Made from gold-plated brass, this cute airplane necklace from AlmaCollective on Etsy is another great piece to add to your travel-themed jewelry collection or give as a gift to a travel addict.

This shop also uses eco-friendly packaging and donates a part of the profits to help rescue and rehabilitate orphaned elephants, and I’m always happy to support positive causes.
