Materials

Built from better metal

Most travel charms are costume jewelry with a flag on it. Ours are built like the jewelry you already trust, and we name every material.

Each charm is 316L stainless steel with a printed enamel face. The necklace and bracelet chains are 304 stainless steel, and the Carry Clip pairs 316L hardware with smooth leather. Silver is the natural steel. Gold is real 18k plating over it.

Materials and care, piece by piece

Side by side

The difference is in the metal

The charm from the souvenir shop and the one you put on every morning aren't the same object. Here's the difference, line by line.

Good questions

Everything you might be wondering

Something we haven't covered? Write to support@passportcollectiveco.com.

Can I add charms later?

That's the design. Every charm has its own small lobster clasp, so you can add a place, remove one, or reorder them whenever you like. Most people start with one and build from there.

Can I wear it in water?

It's fine to get wet. 316L stainless is corrosion-resistant, so everyday life, rain, a sink, a rinse, isn't a problem. Dry it afterward with a soft cloth, and keep it out of chlorine and away from harsh cleaners.

Will the 18k gold plating wear off?

It's real 18k gold plating over stainless steel, not the thin flash coat on costume charms. Treat it like fine jewelry: wipe it after wear, keep it away from chlorine and perfume, and it wears well for a long time. The silver finish is the natural steel itself, so there's nothing on it to wear through.

Is this a good gift?

It's made for it: a farewell, an anniversary, the country a parent grew up in, a place you shared with someone. Every set arrives in a keepsake pouch, ready to hand over.

When will it arrive?

Allow 1 to 2 business days for us to pack your order, plus about 5 business days for delivery in the United States. You'll get tracking by email when it ships. We ship within the US, and checkout shows the most accurate estimate for your address.

What if it is not right?

Email us within 30 days of delivery and we'll exchange it or refund it. A real person answers. The full policy is on our shipping and returns page.

What is an elongated cable chain, and what size will I get?

A cable chain is a row of simple oval links. Elongated means the links are drawn longer, which gives a finer, cleaner line and leaves room for charms to sit properly. The necklace is roughly 49 cm, long enough to layer. The bracelet is roughly 22 cm. Both close with a secure lobster clasp.
