We offer a wide range of charms made exclusively from precious metals including 925 solid sterling silver, 14k solid gold and gold vermeil (sterling silver dipped in gold). We offer destination specific charms for every country in the world (check out our Passport Stamp Collection here) and for over 200 cities (check out our Luggage Tag Collection here).

We also offer many 3D charms that are utterly unique with details to surprise and delight, and with plenty of moving parts that open and spin and also have a wide range of fully customizable charms including engravable tickets, boarding passes, postcards and even a fully bespoke solid gold passport book charm where you get to choose all of the details from the cover to the stamps to additional engraving.

All of our charms can be added directly onto one of our own charm bracelets (our best-selling “Infinity Bracelet” is utterly classic but with a modern twist: each link opens via a spring hinge to allow for instant attachment of your charms. And you can also keep adding links to make a charm necklace or remove a single link to wear as a charm holder on a chain (all of our charms have oversized jump rings which allow for your charm to be added directly to a chain as well).

With the exception of our Solid Gold Mini Charm Collection, all other charms are available in Sterling Silver. All of our charms are also available in 14k solid gold (some are available for instant purchase, others are made-to-order). Most of our other charms are available in gold vermeil as well, with the exception of our Passport Stamp Charm Collection which is only available in sterling silver and in 14k solid gold.

Each features the location’s airport code (IATA code) and includes other details related to the place represented. All standard size luggage tag charms are available in sterling silver, gold vermeil, and 14k solid gold.

Yes, definitely you can mix luggage tag and passport stamp charms. The great thing about our collection is that there is no wrong way to build your collection and all of our charms play really well with one another. We love mixing our solid gold mini charms with larger sterling silver charms, Alternating 3D charms with our passport stamp charms, or combining all of the different styles, metals, and sizes of charms for a truly “more is more” look.

Jet Set Candy charm bracelets are designed to so you can add charms in an instant without visiting a jeweler. Made in Italy, our premium Infinity links open and close via a spring hinge, you simply need to push in to the link to add the charm and the link will close on its own once it has been released (if you look up close at your bracelet, you’ll see tiny seams that are invisible from far away…push near these to open). The fun part about not having to have your charms soldered on to your bracelet is that you can constantly change up your charms —by theme, by year, by metal color, by continent…the possibilities are endless—or even add links together to form a charm necklace.

All of our regular size passport stamp charms, luggage tag charms, and our customizable charms can be engraved with a message on the back. The customizable charms also have areas on the front that can be engraved. We do not currently offer engraving for 3D charms or solid gold mini charms. The front designs of the Passport Stamp and Luggage Tag charms cannot be changed or engraved.

Yes! We frequently put customer suggestions for travel charms into production, and are so excited to hear from you. Please send us a note to customercare@jetsetcandy.com telling us what charms you’d love to see from us.

In our store, we always like to ask our customers what their absolute favorite places are. If the first place that pops into your head is a particular city then you may want to start with one of our luggage tag charms that feature city and locale names along with their respective airport codes and other fun details. If it was a country that came to your mind first, then maybe you should start with our passport stamp charms.

If you are unsure if you want to have a mixed-metal bracelet or a single metal bracelet, then we suggest starting with a single metal (the metal you find yourself wearing the most). You can always add charms in another metal color later on. 

If you aren’t ready to commit to building a charm bracelet then check out our charm necklace bundles. These necklaces offer a great base for beginning your Jet Set Candy collection and can always be added to over time.

If you know you want to start building a charm bracelet and grow it over time, we recommend that you start with an infinity bracelet as this style allows for many charms to be added. Additional links can also be added to an infinity link bracelet and you can even create a necklace by combining the links of two bracelets.

Our charm bracelet bundles are also a great jumping off point as they include curated assortments that look great and come at a variety of price points. More charms can be added to them later as your collection grows.

Yes. All of our charms come with oversized jump rings that easily slip onto all of our chains and can also be clipped onto our charm bracelets since are charm bracelets feature charm-holding links and clips that open via a spring hinge.

We only offer a small selection of popular luggage tag charms, passport stamp charms, and 3D charms in mini versions. Most are only available in solid gold. You can see our solid gold mini charm collection here. We occasionally offer other mini charms in sterling silver and gold vermeil to purchase online or as a gift with purchase. Select mini charms are available exclusively in our retail and airport locations.

Yes, all of our jewelry is nickel-free. Many people have at least a slight allergy to nickel which can leave a green-ish mark on their skin. Nickel is often found in costume jewelry made from brass or other base metals.

Yes, we only use sterling silver. In order for silver to qualify as “sterling silver” it must contain 92.5% silver. The other 7.5% of the metal used in our jewelry comes from copper, zinc or a combination of the two. This is why our sterling silver and gold vermeil charms are marked with 925.

Gold vermeil (pronounced: vermay) is the official industry name for a heavy gold electroplating over a base sterling silver material. A minimum thickness of 2.5 microns of gold must be deposited before it can be marked or sold as Vermeil. Jet Set Candy uses the superiority of gold vermeil over standard gold-plating as it is the thickest form of plating - adding to the quality, durability and beauty of your adornment. Gold vermeil is superior to gold fill and other standard gold-plated jewelry as they usually consist of either a base of silver or brass with only a very thin layer of real gold. It is possible for the plating used in gold vermeil products to fade over time from continuous wear. This is unavoidable over the lifetime of any plated jewelry. Because of this, we do recommend that our customers use caution during swimming, exercising, cleaning, washing hands, or styling hair, as soaps, chlorine, detergents, cleaning agents, and hair products can remove the plating. The Jet Set Candy jewelry pouch adds protection for your jewelry’s storage and can double as a polishing cloth to keep it looking bright and shiny.

Yes, Jet Set Candy charms feature an oversized jumpring to ensure they are compatible with most standard charm bracelet brands, such as Pandora. Our charms can also easily be attached to most other charm bracelets by a jeweler if necessary.
