22 Travel-inspired Jewelry Picks Perfect for Globetrotters

All Images Courtesy of Respective Brands

Fashion is one of the most fun ways to express yourself, your style, and your worldview. It sends a message about who you are before you’ve even said anything: sometimes, one that’s loud and clear (hello, statement pieces!) and sometimes, one that’s more subdued.

This rings true for accessories, and jewelry, in particular. For those days when you are in the mood to display your love of travel (say, the entire week after you’ve scored a great flight deal), a piece of jewelry is the way to go.

And if that just so happens to be every day, opt for something on the smaller side, like a delicate charm ring or matte silver stud earrings. Pieces with a matte or brushed finish don’t sparkle as much, which makes them look less formal.

For inspiration, we rounded up 22 jewelry pieces that will speak to your inner traveler and your unique style.
