Trend: Cartographic Jewellery

I really have a thing for maps. My 1986 National Geographic Map of the World (it still had the U.S.S.R.) had pride of place on my bedroom wall when I was younger, and wasn’t even replaced by the posters of David Duchovny or Leonardo DiCaprio. Even now I get a real thrill looking at an atlas or antique map – but that’s because I’m a real nerd at heart.

I’ve noticed on Etsy.com lately that map-based jewellery has become quite popular. Here are some of the best:

A: Custom Antique Map (Choose Your Own City) Pendant by Anne Holman at Etsy.com, $60.00 (USD)

B: Globetrotter Necklace by Crumpet Cake at Etsy.com, $25.00 (USD)

C: Vintage Map Ephemera Sterling Silver Ring by Ajazwinski at Etsy.com, $48.00 (USD)

D: Vintage Map Custom Sterling Cufflings by Anne Holman at Etsy.com, $105.00 (USD)
