Overview of our 3D charms

Jet Set Candy’s 3D charms are little works of art—and one of the most joyful parts of our collection. These sculptural, interactive charms capture the essence of travel in miniature form.

Each charm is inspired by a real object that represents a destination, culture, or moment—like a wedge of parmesan with a grater for Italy, a handheld game console for Japan, a New York coffee cup, or a matryoshka doll that opens to reveal more dolls inside. We currently offer over 100 different 3D charms, and a growing number of mini versions in solid gold.

What makes them so special is the attention to detail and craftsmanship. Many of our 3D charms include moving parts: a suitcase that opens, wheels that spin, compartments that close, and pieces that pull out or reveal surprises. These aren’t just cute—they’re clever, and they’re all crafted from precious metals like sterling silver, gold vermeil, and solid 14K gold. Some even feature two-tone finishes to replicate the real-life item more accurately.

If you’ve been with us a while, you know we’re sticklers for authenticity. Our 3D charms are accurate, charming, and often a little bit unexpected. Whether you choose a charm that represents your hometown, your favorite trip, or an inside joke only you and a loved one understand—3D charms are designed to spark joy every time you look at them.

These charms fit all Jet Set Candy necklaces and bracelets, and they’re designed to play well with the rest of your collection—flat charms, passport stamps, minis, and more. Layer them up, wear one on its own, or give a gift that makes someone grin from ear to ear.

Jet Set Candy 3D Charms FAQs

What are 3D charms?

Jet Set Candy’s 3D charms are tiny, meticulously crafted miniatures of iconic objects, landmarks, and everyday items that represent a specific place or experience. Think a wedge of parmesan with a grater for Italy, a handheld video game for Japan, the Eiffel Tower, the Chrysler Building, or a Russian matryoshka doll. Each charm is a scaled-down, wearable replica—and yes, many of them actually move.

We currently offer over 100 different 3D charms, and a small selection is also available as mini 3D charms in solid gold. The magic of our 3D charms is in their detail and authenticity. We’re sticklers for accuracy, so everything from proportions to finishes is designed to match the real thing. These are truly joyful little works of art that bring out your inner kid—trust us, you won’t look at them without smiling.

How are 3D charms different from Jet Set Candy’s flat charms?

Flat charms (like our passport stamps or luggage tags) are beautiful and packed with local detail, but 3D charms bring that to life in physical form. They’re dimensional, sculptural, and often interactive.

With 3D charms, you can:

  • Open a tiny chocolate bar and see the chocolate inside
  • Pull cigarettes out of a French pack
  • Reveal three stacking dolls inside a Russian matryoshka
  • Open a camper van to see a mini kitchen
  • Unlatch a mini suitcase and put a clipping a fave pic inside

They’re playful, premium, and made from precious metals. The level of detail is what sets them apart—even the unimpressible can’t help but be impressed.

What materials are Jet Set Candy 3D charms made from?

Our 3D charms are made from sterling silver, gold vermeil (a thick layer of 14k gold over sterling silver), and solid 14K gold. Many designs come in two-tone versions, using a mix of metals—like silver with gold vermeil, or white and yellow gold—for contrast and added realism. The finishes are thoughtfully chosen to mirror the look of the real-life object the charm represents.

Are 3D charms available in solid gold?

Yes—all of our 3D charms are available in solid 14K gold, made to order. These are true collector’s pieces and make unforgettable gifts. One especially unique offering is our bespoke solid gold passport book charm, which opens to reveal pages printed with passport stamps you choose. We co-design it with you and engrave your custom details on the back. It’s a one-of-a-kind heirloom that we’re proud to help bring to life.

Can 3D charms be engraved?

Due to their sculptural shape and the complexity of their forms, most 3D charms cannot be engraved. However, our bespoke 3D passport book charm can be customized with engraving and your personal passport stamp selections.

Are 3D charms compatible with all Jet Set Candy bracelets and necklaces?

Yes! Every 3D charm is designed with a generously sized jump ring so it can fit easily onto any Jet Set Candy bracelet or necklace—including the Infinity Link, Daily, Convertible, or Clip neckalces. Add one for a moment of surprise, or mix a few for a playful, eye-catching look.

Do the 3D charms come with jump rings that fit on standard chains or charm holders?

Yes. All Jet Set Candy 3D charms come with oversized jump rings that fit easily onto most standard chains, charm holders, and connectors.

Can I wear a 3D charm on its own as a necklace?

Absolutely. We love styling a single 3D charm as a solo statement necklace. Because many of them hold personal meaning—like a suitcase from your honeymoon or a coffee cup from your hometown—it’s like wearing a secret little story. These pieces stand out and spark conversation.

Are 3D charms heavy or bulky to wear?

Some 3D charms are heavier than our flat designs, but they’re still comfortable for daily wear. They vary by style—some are daintier, while others are bolder statement pieces. We design each charm to be balanced: solid enough to feel luxurious, but wearable enough for everyday.

Do 3D charms require special care or cleaning?

Yes, just a little more than our non-moving charms. Many 3D pieces have hinged or mobile parts, so they do best with gentle care:

  • Avoid opening/closing charms daily—frequent motion may cause wear over time
  • Don’t pull on tiny chains or moving elements (like suitcase straps or drawer handles)
  • Clean with a soft jewelry cloth. Do not use a cleaning solution for openable charms as they might be difficult to fully dry.
  • Store in a dry, airtight pouch to prevent moisture exposure and reduce tarnish

They’re not overly delicate, but they are miniatures—so treat them like fine jewelry, because they are.

Are 3D charms hollow or solid inside?

It depends on the design. Some charms—like the chocolate bar inside the chocolate box or small matryoshka doll inside are solid, while others by nature are hollow, like the suitcase, Eiffel Tower) are partially hollow or open. Our solid gold versions are typically solid unless the design requires otherwise.

Do you offer mini versions of 3D charms?

Yes! Select 3D charms are available in mini versions, which are crafted in solid gold only. While they don’t have moving parts, they offer a sleek, daintier take on our larger 3D designs, perfect for layering or gifting.

Can I request a custom 3D charm design?

We occasionally accept custom design commissions for new 3D charms. These are special collaborations and require a minimum of 100 units, as well as extended production time (often up to a year due to the complexity of the process). If you’re interested in co-designing a custom charm, please reach out to our Customer Care team at customercare@jetsetcandy.com.

Are 3D charms suitable for everyday wear?

Yes! Our 3D charms are made from high-quality materials and tested for durability. They’re designed for people who love their jewelry to mean something, and wear it often. That said, we recommend treating them with care, especially those with moving parts.

What destinations or themes are represented in the 3D collection?

The 3D collection features dozens of travel-inspired destinations and themes. Some represent a specific country or region (like a London teacup, New York taxi, or Swiss chocolate), while others are more universal symbols of travel—like a clamshell, sea turtle, skis, or palm tree.

How do I choose the right chain or bracelet for a 3D charm?

Consider how you want to wear your charm:

  • For a delicate look: go with our Cable Chain
  • For a bold statement: try the Daily, Convertible, or Clip Necklace

For building a collection: our Infinity Link Bracelet or Necklace makes it easy to mix, match, and rearrange

Can I layer a 3D charm with other styles, like passport stamps or luggage tags?

Yes—and we love seeing what you create. 3D charms add dimension and movement to any charm story, and they pair beautifully with flat charms, mini and personalized charms.
