The Power of Flight Jewelry: A Guide to Keeping Calm and Focused on Long Flights

When it comes to long flights, we all have our own rituals to keep us calm and focused. For many of us, that includes wearing a piece of jewelry that we believe brings us luck and protection. I like to call these pieces "flight jewelry."

On my own, I wear a Ten Thousand Things lapis and coral evil eye charm that I've had for years. It's a small but powerful symbol that I believe helps me stay calm and focused during my travels. But I wasn't the only one who had a flight jewelry story to share.

Jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer shared her own good luck charm necklace, a large turquoise leaf that she wears on every flight. "Turquoise is a very protective stone for traveling!" she said. She also mentioned her grandmother's pearl ring, which she wears as a reminder of her family's love and support.

Jewelry PR executive Danielle Gadi sent me a picture of her Marlo Laz Porte Bonheur pendant, which she wears to bring her luck on long flights. And Christina Juarez's travel stack includes an old Helen Figelora initial charm, an Ippolita diamond Paloma, and her dad's Italian horn St. Christopher's medal.

These pieces of jewelry are more than just accessories; they are symbols of hope, protection, and good luck. They remind us that even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty, we have something tangible that we can hold onto.

So the next time you're on a long flight, take a look at your own flight jewelry and remember the power it holds. And if you don't have a piece yet, consider investing in one that speaks to you and brings you peace of mind.
