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

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

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 .

2. Trium Jewelry for travel lovers | Silver and Gold necklace (plated)

Trium jewelry creates stunning pieces of wanderlust jewelry for travel lovers. My absolute favorite is the ‘Earth and World Map’ necklace in gold. The cut-out earth looks stunning, and the pendant comes in two different sizes to fit every travelista!

The necklace is made of .925 silver and is gold plated and completely nickel free. You can also choose silver or rose gold for metal.

This travel necklace is a great gift idea, as it’s delivered in a handcrafted gift box. The seller ships from Spain, so international shipping time applies.

6 Best Travel Jewelry Ideas to Feed Your Wanderlust

Table of Contents

1. passports, 2. the world map, 3. globe jewelry, 4. compass jewelry, 5. forms of transport, 6. travel quote jewelry, travel jewelry vs. travel themed jewelry, wrapping up.

For most people, travel is one of their greatest passions, representing not just a hobby but an obsession. Travel frees the soul and expands your horizons. And what better way to show this love than by travel themed jewelry!

There are many types of travel themed jewelry out there, from charms to earrings, pendants and necklaces. In this article, let’s take a look at some of the main travel jewelry symbols and styles. You’re going to fall in love with all of them!

The one thing that all travelers have in common – a passport. Not only is a passport your key to the world but it identifies you and reminds you of your roots. No other item is as important as a passport, as anyone who’s had their bag stolen or lost while travelling abroad can attest to.

Passport replicas are best as little charms to be attached to a charm bracelet, or worn as dangle or stud earrings, or a pendant. It’s a quirky little design for jewelry and is bound to garner you some comments. Wearing a ‘passport’ is for the diehard traveler who’s obsessed with going places.

Another highly popular choice, the world map or globe is an obvious option. Unlike jewelry featuring the map of a certain country or state, which leans towards patriotism, a world map features your love for travel, exploration, and seeing new things.

Typically, world map jewelry is perfect on pendants, as they remain in place and are easy to see. However, there are some very creative design ideas like the ring above, which feature the world map in a unique way. While not immediately obvious, once it catches your eye, you can’t really look away.

Technically a world map, globes offer different design options due to their 3D spherical shape. Most jewelry featuring globes are pendants, as that’s the most functional. However, they’re also perfect for dangle earrings because of their proportional shape.

With globes, a little goes a long way, so it’s best to opt for a smaller sphere as these are stylish and classy, rather than a large one that sits awkwardly against your chest or dangles that look like they came straight out of a geography class. Unless that’s the look you’re going for, in which case, rock on we say!

Compass jewelry is one of our favorite type of travel-themed jewelry. A compass speaks about more than just a love for travel, it also symbolizes adventure , finding your way, independence and confidence.

Compasses always point north, regardless of the conditions. This is can be interpreted as representing positivity and hope. All these are excellent characteristics of an avid traveler.

Forms of transport make up a significant aspect of traveling – from motorbikes in Vietnam, to tuktuks in India and gondolas in Venice. As Jack Sparrow says in Pirates of the Caribbean , ‘What a (ship) really represents is freedom ’. And this can be applied to any form of transport.

Transport charms are the best way to add this concept to your jewelry and are perfect in charm bracelets. However, you’ll also sometimes come across cute designs like the ring featured above with an airplane incorporated into the design.

Travel jewelry with a favorite quote on it is a nice touch to bring your love of travel into your fashion choices. Here are some ideas for meaningful travel quotes and words to inspire your wanderlust:

• Not all who wander are lost
• To travel is to live
• Veni, vidi, amavi – I came, I saw, I loved
• The adventure begins
• Enjoy the journey
• Wherever you go, go with all your heart – Confucius
• Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place – Rumi
• I go to seek a great perhaps
• I do believe it’s time for another adventure
• Follow your heart
• The world is yours… explore it!

You can also come up with your own quote and ask to have it engraved onto your chosen jewelry. Many jewelry designers offer custom services and these are often affordable.

In this post, we’ve talked about travel themed jewelry but there’s such a thing as travel jewelry too. Travel jewelry refers to jewelry that’s specifically created for those who travel a lot. If you’re feeling confused right now, don’t worry. This is a new concept and a very tiny niche that’s only really becoming a thing.

For those who travel a lot and don’t want to take their valuables with them, travel jewelry designers create specific jewelry for people who want to dress beautifully while traveling, without the fear of losing their best jewelry pieces. These are more affordable pieces that you won’t mind losing.

So there you have it, our top tips on travel themed jewelry.  There are so many options out there, but we only picked the categories, so that you can pick the jewelry.

If you’re looking to browse, we recommend searching on Etsy or Amazon for some amazing, unique and handmade travel themed jewelry. These come in a range of prices and styles to suit everyone, so we’re sure you’ll find something you love on these platforms.

Travel Jewelry: What To Take and What Not To Take

When you’re traveling, you want to look good and feel good. (The two are probably related!) And you certainly don’t want the hassle of worrying about losing precious jewelry or making yourself a target for thieves.

A sobering survey  conducted by Jewelers Mutual Insurance Group found that 20 percent of travelers experienced a loss or theft of fine jewelry, with only one percent of them recovering the lost item(s).

There are some common sense tips you can take to safeguard precious jewelry. In addition, think carefully about whether it may be more prudent to travel with costume pieces that you don’t have to worry about.

This post may contain affiliate links. This means that I may receive compensation if you click a link, at no additional cost to you. For more information, please read my privacy and disclosure policies at the end of this page.

Jump ahead to...

13 common sense tips for traveling with precious jewelry

1-  Be strategic about deciding what to take and what to leave home, and keep a list of what you’ve taken.

2-  Leave flashy bling at home if you really don’t need to bring it.

3-  Think twice about bringing irreplaceable keepsake items on your trip (e.g., your mother’s cocktail ring or the diamond studs you received as a gift for your 40th birthday).

4-  If you decide to take precious jewelry with you, never pack it in your checked bag. Instead, tuck it in a zippered compartment in your purse so you can keep your eye on it.

5-  A compact jewelry case can protect fragile pieces from breakage and keep everything you’re bringing in one place.

6-  Be cautious about placing precious jewelry (or other valuables) inside cruise ship staterooms or hotel room safes. Many of these safes aren’t as secure as you might think. Moreover, you run the risk of forgetting to empty the safe when you leave. (Tip: Some people suggest putting one shoe of a pair in the safe to remind you to look there before you leave your room.)

7-  As a rule, it’s usually safer to wear jewelry than to stow it. But be aware of the location where you’re leaving it and the destination.

8-  Be especially cautious in crowds, when using public transportation, or at any places where you feel at high risk. 

9-  If you feel unsafe and are wearing precious jewelry, conceal your flashy diamond ring by turning it inside your hand so it isn’t visible, or tuck your fancy necklace under your sweater.

10- Be careful not to lose rings or other items at the beach or in the water. 

11- Don’t remove rings or watches when washing your hands, and inadvertently leave them on your hotel room sink or in a public restroom.

12- Be sure to check your homeowner’s policy and any insurance riders to make sure you are covered for loss or theft of jewelry and that the policies are up-to-date.

13- If you’re traveling with any precious pieces, take photos of them on your cellphone before leaving home. In the event of loss or theft, the photos could be useful for filing a police report or making an insurance claim.

What is travel jewelry? An elegant solution

Replacing precious with costume travel jewelry is an elegant solution. A few nice pieces, even if they are fake, can brighten up an outfit and put a bounce in your step.

While you’re shopping for yourself, remember that travel jewelry also makes a wonderful birthday or Bon Voyage gift for a friend or relative because it’s so personal, lightweight, and easy to pack.

Here are some tips for selecting travel jewelry:

1-   Try to stay under $100 when purchasing travel jewelry. Of course, losing anything on a trip makes you feel like kicking yourself. But you certainly don’t want to worry about losing something you can’t afford to lose.

2-   Keep all your costume jewelry pieces together, perhaps in a jewelry pouch or roll, so you can readily find what you want to wear.

3-   To simplify choosing and packing travel jewelry, stick to either silver or gold-toned pieces.

4-   Adding large statement pieces with splashes of color can liven up a dull outfit.

5-  Avoid heavy pieces that add weight to your carry-on or handbag.

6-  Remember to take off costume jewelry when you hit the beach or pool; sun, sand, and saltwater can shorten the life of these items.

7-  Handcrafted jewelry you find while traveling can make a wonderful souvenir to take home and add to your travel accessory wardrobe.

T here are so many other incredible books out there that make anyone want to hop on a plane.

From travel quote prints to map posters to travel photography, themed wall art is another fun way for travel lovers to show off their passion. Check out the beautiful wall art you can find on Etsy .

It might be a bit too literal for some people, but if your loved ones like these kinds of decor items, a mini globe could certainly be the gift for them.

Travel-Inspired Coffee Mug

As a total coffee snob and travel addict, I can understand one’s need for a themed mug.

Photo Album

As a 90’s kid, I’ll always love photo albums. Every once in a while, you just have to reminisce with your loved ones while sipping some hot chocolate and looking at pictures that make you miss your childhood or a memorable past trip.

Get Your Guide Gift Card

I love using Get Your Guide for booking experiences. This website offers such a large variety of tickets and tours, and any traveler would love to have some money to spend there.

Their card is valid up to 18 months from the date of purchase, and you don’t need to choose a specific tour. Purchase your gift guide here!

Booking Gift Card

My go-to website for booking accommodation. The downside is that as for now, you can only purchase a gift card online if you’re from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the UK.

Carry-on Luggage

This one is similar to mine, but you can browse other items on Amazon.

Passport Cover and Luggage Tag Set

Who wouldn’t love a matching wanderlust-themed passport cover and luggage tag?

I love Etsy for finding these kinds of items, and there are tons of adorable designs for both men and women. Browse all of them on Etsy .

I know it’s a huge investment, and you should only buy it for your favorite person in the entire world, but it’s honestly the ultimate gift (apart from a plane ticket).

Phone Lens Kit

For travelers who don’t want to invest in a camera yet but still want to take beautiful pictures, a phone lens kit could be the ideal gift. Different kits are suitable for different phone types, so be sure to read all the little details.

Waterproof and Anti-theft Backpack

I’m always searching for the best travel backpacks , which means they have to be both practical and stylish.

Travel Documents Organizer

Keeping things like your passport, boarding pass, and credit cards organized in one place is essential for traveling stress-free. Know someone who needs a document organizer? Get them this budget-friendly, practical gift!

Packing Cubes

Another must-have item for travelers who want to stay organized is packing cubes. With several sizes suitable for different items (including shoes and cosmetics), one set is more than enough to make one’s traveling life easier.

Bagail is one of the best brands out there, but feel free to check out other packing cube sets .

Hanging Toiletry Bag

A hanging toiletry bag is super useful not just for packing better but for staying organized while on the trip itself.

If you know anyone who desperately needs this bag but has yet to buy one, this could be a great practical travel gift option.

Sleeping Travel Kit

Looking for gifts for people who travel a lot between states or continents? Long-haul flights (and even short ones) can be a nightmare if you’re unprepared, so a sleeping kit is essential.

The basic kits usually include a neck pillow, a sleeping mask, and earplugs, and others also have a blanket or a scented sachet.

Travel Tech Case

No one likes the mess of a million cables, chargers, and devices scattered in their backpack, so an electronic organizer is super useful for those who travel with a lot of tech items.

Travel Blanket for Flights

Looking for a gift for someone who often has to survive long-haul flights? Get them a cozy travel blanket!

Travel Guides and Bucket List Books

I know travel books are a lot less popular these days (and as a travel blogger, I’m grateful for people looking for information on my own website), but they still make a great gift.

If your loved ones are obsessed with a particular country (like I’m obsessed with Spain ), a travel guidebook could be an amazing gift.

Tripods have become a go-to item for solo travelers who want to take beautiful photos while traveling alone.

I admit that I haven’t bought one for myself yet because I’m not so keen on having my camera away from me, but it’s on my radar, and I’m in search of the best travel tripods .

I’ve heard great things about several tripod types, but recommendations are not always enough because you need to consider a few things before choosing which one to buy.

From the tripod’s weight and height to the camera’s weight and size, you need to carefully examine which tripod is sturdy enough and convenient to use.

Flexible Phone and Tablet Holder for Flights

Reusable Bottle

More and more travelers make an effort to be more environmentally responsible, so a reusable water bottle has become a must-have on their packing list.

After trying quite a few myself, I have to say that the best one I found was Corkcicle’s canteen .

It’s one of the few bottles that actually preserve the liquid’s temperature (hot or cold) for so many hours, and their designs are beautiful and suitable for both women and men.

Portable Espresso Maker

Being able to make yourself a cup of coffee literally anywhere is priceless. If you’re looking for gifts for travel lovers who are also coffee snobs, this is a creative and practical idea.

Travel Gift Ideas for Her

Travel inspired jewelry.

I mentioned the engraved ring necklace from Vagabond Life early in this post, but they have other jewelry pieces, including wanderlust-inspired mantra cuffs and compass or world map necklaces and bracelets.

Browse Vagabond Life’s travel-themed jewelry here and use code ORA20 at checkout for a 20% discount on your order.

Jewelry Case

Having all this jewelry is great, but carrying it while traveling can be quite annoying.

That’s why nothing is more practical for a female traveler who loves her accessories than a jewelry travel case.

Anti-theft Infinity Scarf

For safety reasons, in certain cities I had visited like Rio de Janeiro or Buenos Aires, I preferred walking around without carrying any bag.

Hidden pockets are a practical way to keep your things safe, so an anti-theft scarf that has a secret pocket is a fantastic item to pack.

Wanderlust-Inspired Phone Case

Having a themed phone case is a fun way to flaunt one’s traveling obsession. Check out all the cute designs and compare prices here.

They might seem simple, but themed decorative pillows are a fabulous travel gift for women. They’re a fun little addition to any bedroom or living room, and you can find plenty of designs on Etsy or Amazon .

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.

www.instagram.com/igoruchevatov

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.
