In what ways has travel shaped the visual language of your jewelry?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travel expands my visual vocabulary. I\u2019m often drawn to new places because of their architectural forms and historic symbols. Each trip\u2019s collection of visual postcards remain with me and slowly evolve into jewelry designs even years later.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_What_piece_in_your_collection_feels_most_inspired_by_a_specific_place_and_what_story_does_it_carry\"\/>2. What piece in your collection feels most inspired by a specific place and what story does it carry?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of my earliest pieces are inspired by New York City, including the anchor pendants. Both the <a href=\"https:\/\/calmsjewelry.com\/collections\/shop-all-jewelry\/products\/core-anchor-pendant\">Core Anchor Pendant<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/calmsjewelry.com\/collections\/shop-all-jewelry\/products\/root-anchor-pendant\">Root Anchor Pendant <\/a>were shaped by my visits to South Street Seaport, where several historic anchors are displayed outside the stationery shop. I remember spending a rainy afternoon there sketching them, watching how they sat heavy and immovable on the cobblestone street. I love being a tourist in my own city. Recently, for a birthday, we took a tugboat ride through the South Street Seaport Museum, which I highly recommend.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Is_there_a_city_or_landscape_that_continues_to_inform_your_aesthetic_even_subconsciously\"\/>3. Is there a city or landscape that continues to inform your aesthetic, even subconsciously?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New York City is a constant visual thread throughout my work. Beyond my home city, my love for Italy and Italian language and culture adds a romantic undercurrent to many designs. Venice in particular influences the aquatic themes, arches, and geometric forms that appear in my pieces. In the future, I would love to design a collection that draws more directly from specific Italian visual cues.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_What_piece_of_jewelry_do_you_instinctively_reach_for_before_boarding_a_flight\"\/>4. What piece of jewelry do you instinctively reach for before boarding a flight?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I often feel incomplete without earrings, so that is usually the first thing I reach for. I prefer <a href=\"https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/bezel-settings-for-travel\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"7388\">bezel-set stone jewelry<\/a> when I travel. The setting protects the stone and moves easily with life in motion. I also love to wear necklaces or charms that help me feel grounded and calm, even thousands of feet in the air.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Do_you_believe_jewelry_should_travel_with_you_daily_or_be_reserved_for_specific_moments\"\/>5. Do you believe jewelry should travel with you daily, or be reserved for specific moments?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I believe the most meaningful jewelry deserves to be worn every day. Pieces that carry memory and significance become part of normal life rather than something kept only for rare occasions. I\u2019ve always loved dressing up, even for casual moments. A friend once joked that I arrived in a ballgown to a casual gathering. In reality it was a short cotton dress, but I\u2019ve always been drawn to texture and structure and I\u2019m often slightly overdressed. I laughed, but to me beautiful things are meant to be lived in.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0-Jennifer-OBrien-Travel-Brooklyn-Living-Room-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Jennifer OBrien Calms Founder in Brooklyn Living Room\" class=\"wp-image-7420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0-Jennifer-OBrien-Travel-Brooklyn-Living-Room-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0-Jennifer-OBrien-Travel-Brooklyn-Living-Room-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0-Jennifer-OBrien-Travel-Brooklyn-Living-Room-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0-Jennifer-OBrien-Travel-Brooklyn-Living-Room-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0-Jennifer-OBrien-Travel-Brooklyn-Living-Room-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0-Jennifer-OBrien-Travel-Brooklyn-Living-Room.jpg 1708w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_What_is_the_most_treasured_piece_of_jewelry_youve_acquired_while_traveling_and_why_does_it_remain_meaningful\"\/>6. What is the most treasured piece of jewelry you\u2019ve acquired while traveling and why does it remain meaningful?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will never forget when my parents took me to the Ponte Vecchio in Florence to buy an 18K gold pendant. That was the moment I distinctly remember seeing the richness of 18K yellow gold. I stored that special pendant in its bright red box with a gold foil bridge and decorative details.\u00a0I still have and wear the pendant today.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_What_are_the_three_objects_aside_from_jewelry_you_never_leave_behind_when_you_travel\"\/>7. What are the three objects, aside from jewelry,\u00a0you never leave behind when you travel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My camera is the first thing I pack. I love documenting the places I visit and the small moments along the way. In recent years I often travel with a DJI Osmo because its small size makes it easy to capture photos and videos. I also rarely leave home without a small dotted sketchbook, which is perfect for jotting down ideas or quick design sketches during travel downtime. I always bring a physical book to keep me company along the way.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Where_do_you_feel_most_creatively_alive_when_you_travel\"\/>8. Where do you feel most creatively alive when you travel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I feel most creatively alive when I\u2019m out of my comfort zone. Being surrounded by new colors, textures, and patterns often sparks ideas that later find their way into my designs.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_What_scent_flavor_sound_or_color_from_a_recent_trip_feels_like_it_could_become_a_future_design\"\/>9. What scent, flavor, sound, or color from a recent trip feels like it could become a future design?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love cocoa. I\u2019m not a coffee drinker, but I will go out of my way for a cocoa. I love to take chocolate tours in new destinations. On a recent trip to Grenada, the taste of fresh cocoa and the warm spices stayed with me. The lush green landscape and crystal-clear water felt incredibly inspiring and will likely find their way into my designs.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_What_emotion_do_you_hope_someone_feels_when_wearing_your_jewelry_in_a_place_far_from_home\"\/>10. What emotion do you hope someone feels when wearing your jewelry in a place far from home?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope someone wearing a piece of Calms Jewelry feels grounded, calm, and safe wherever they are in the world. That sense of steadiness can make travel feel even more expansive and joyful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0-Jennifer-OBrien-in-Directors-Chair-Calms-Jewelry-Founder-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Jennifer OBrien in Directors Chair Calms Jewelry Founder with camera in photo studio\" class=\"wp-image-7424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0-Jennifer-OBrien-in-Directors-Chair-Calms-Jewelry-Founder-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0-Jennifer-OBrien-in-Directors-Chair-Calms-Jewelry-Founder-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0-Jennifer-OBrien-in-Directors-Chair-Calms-Jewelry-Founder-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0-Jennifer-OBrien-in-Directors-Chair-Calms-Jewelry-Founder-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0-Jennifer-OBrien-in-Directors-Chair-Calms-Jewelry-Founder-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/thetravelwomen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0-Jennifer-OBrien-in-Directors-Chair-Calms-Jewelry-Founder.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Is_there_a_place_you_return_to_when_you_need_clarity_or_recalibration\"\/>11. Is there a place you return to when you need clarity or recalibration?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Italy. From studying the language and culture in school to visiting family in the south, I have always felt deeply connected to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_What_does_%E2%80%9Chome%E2%80%9D_mean_to_you_and_does_it_influence_the_jewelry_you_design_or_wear\"\/>12.

I also feel incredibly fortunate to call New York City home, a place so many people dream of visiting. The people around me shape my designs in both direct and subtle ways.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_If_your_work_could_be_photographed_anywhere_in_the_world_tomorrow_where_would_you_choose\"\/>13. If your work could be photographed anywhere in the world tomorrow, where would you choose?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have many ideas for future designs and elaborate photoshoots. I might return to a few favorite places I\u2019ve traveled. If I could choose anywhere tomorrow, Morocco would be high on the list for the intricate patterns found in its architecture and textiles. I also loved Thailand and would happily welcome an excuse to return to photograph the vibrant markets and surrounding landscapes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_What_dream_destination_is_currently_calling_you_next_creatively_or_personally\"\/>14. What dream destination is currently calling you next, creatively or personally?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"\/><\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greece would be a design dream. We\u2019re fortunate to have friends getting married there soon, so I may finally have the excuse to spend extra time studying its architecture and patterns. Who knows, it might even inspire a future collection.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jennifer O\u2019Brien is the founder of Calms Jewelry, a fine jewelry house rooted in New York City and inspired by antique heirlooms, nautical symbolism, and art deco architecture.
