Why jewellery? I've always had a love for jewellery and made costume jewellery for a long time. And well, trinkets and souvenirs? They just don't do it for us, right? We travel light, so there's no point stuffing our suitcases (and homes) with novelty clutter, just to keep up that vacation-y feeling (and think of the dust *shudder*).

Also - fun fact; when we had our belongings stolen on our Canadian O.E., I lost most of my jewellery, so I only had what I was wearing left. So with that in the back of my head, I wanted to create something durable and versatile enough to wear everyday and with any outfit. It also needed to be simple and modern - a classic, clean-lined piece that would quickly become your go-to favourite (perfect for travelling ;) ).

And the codes? The travel industry (I used to be a travel agent too) uses 3-letter IATA codes to identify cities and airports (and 2-letters for countries). Some of them are obvious, and some a bit more obscure, so they seemed perfect for fellow travelly-minded folk.
