For someone who loves jewellry/travelling...

Not sure I love the look of this (depends on how big it is I guess), but it's kind of cool for anyone wanting a personalized piece of jewellry for someone who loves travelling. You set the diamonds on the locations you've been to.

Good idea but the Duchess of Windsor did it with more style in a cigarette case she gave the Duke. Gems on places they'd been & travel routes traced.

Heh, I like it conceptually, but I'd either have to resort to using .001 sized melee, or to just lumping entire nations in together instead of marking separate trips to, say, Venice, Florence, Rome. And to me, that loses half the point, since I'm, a) completist enough, and, b) sentimental enough that I revisit countries until I know them backwards and forwards, and like to remember each occasion! But I can see it appealing to someone who travels move broadly and can proudly tick of China, Australia, etc. ....
