Australia’s national colours may be green and gold, and it may be known for its rugged yet beautiful Red Centre, but I encourage you to focus on the colour Orange the next time you travel Down Under.

I often recommend the importance of packing light when traveling solo, but that doesn’t mean you have to necessarily sacrifice style. Jewelry is thankfully both lightweight and takes up very little space in your luggage but can go along way when it comes to adding a touch of elegance or personal touch to any outfit. From multifunctional designs to minimalist pieces that suit any occasion, choosing the right jewelry can allow you to express your personality or show your connection to the places you visit or come from. Ideally, travel jewelry should be versatile, comfortable, and able to withstand the rigors of the road while still allowing you to look stylish and feeling confident. From minimalist designs to culturally inspired pieces, the best jewelry choices for solo female travelers are those that enhance a journey rather than hinder it. Here are our top 7 picks for jewelry pieces that every solo traveler should consider packing this summer.
