It is tempting to take valuable jewelry with you when traveling. The pieces we cherish are often expressions of our personality and add a touch of polish or pizzazz to any outfit.
However, taking expensive valuables with you when traveling can cause unnecessary worries.
Travel jewelry is an elegant solution. It can be fake jewelry that mimics the real thing, or less expensive jewelry that is just fun to wear.
We scoured the internet and spoke to frequent travelers to find travel jewelry in different price ranges that looked stylish but didn’t cost thousands of dollars:

Colby Davis offers the option of 16, 18 or 20” chains, sold separately. The pendant looks beautiful layered or on its own. These pendants promise to protect wearers from travel woes. The small one shown retails for $165.00.

Each stone is approximately 0.022 carats and the length of the earrings is 4.65 mm (just under five centimeters).

It comes from Beth Gersten and Eric Grossberg, who founded Brilliant Earth in 2005 with a mission to create sustainable and ethical jewelry. Brilliant Earth has stores across the country, including three in New York City. The chain shown is made of 14K yellow gold and is also available in white gold. Retails for $395.
