Jet Set Candy adds a Soccer Ball charm to its travel jewelry line

Jet Set Candy has launched a Soccer Ball charm as a permanent addition to its 2,000-plus piece collection, bringing soccer into the New York brand’s travel-souvenir jewelry line. The new charm is meant to appeal to fans who want a subtle, year-round alternative to team gear and is now available online and in the company’s Grand Central Terminal flagship. Why it matters: - Jet Set Candy is expanding a niche category it created: premium travel souvenir jewelry. - The Soccer Ball charm ties one of the world’s most global sports to a brand built around destination memory and travel identity. - The launch gives soccer fans a wearable option that is not tied to one team or one country. What happened: - Jet Set Candy launched the Soccer Ball charm on June 16, 2026. - The New York-based jewelry brand added the charm to its permanent collection. - The charm is available at Jet Set Candy’s site and at the brand’s flagship store inside Grand Central Terminal in New York City. The details: - The Soccer Ball charm is a three-dimensional design with raised pentagons and a miniature soccer ball pattern. - A pentagonal hang tag on the jump ring is engraved with twelve names for the sport used around the world, including Fútbol, Fussball and Fodbold. - The charm comes in sterling silver for $98, 14k gold vermeil for $148 and 14k solid gold for $2,998 made to order. - The charm is offered in standard 12.7mm and mini 8mm sizes. - The two-tone gold vermeil and solid gold versions pair raised 14k gold pentagons with contrasting sterling silver hexagons. - The charm works on several Jet Set Candy chains, including the Cable Chain, Ball Chain, Daily Necklace and Clip Charm Necklace. - The Soccer Ball charm also attaches to the Infinity Link Charm Bracelet and Slim Infinity Link with the brand’s spring-hinge system. - Jet Set Candy suggests pairing the Soccer Ball charm with a Passport Stamp charm, a Luggage Tag charm or both for a layered travel story. Between the lines: - Soccer fits the brand’s pitch because the sport crosses borders and gives fans a reason to root for places around the world. - The launch reinforces Jet Set Candy’s strategy of turning travel experiences into collectible jewelry rather than standard souvenir merchandise. - The product is positioned as a subtle fashion piece as much as a fan item. What’s next: - Jet Set Candy will likely keep building around the same travel-and-place theme across its existing charm catalog. - The brand continues to sell direct-to-consumer online, through its Grand Central flagship and through distribution partners in cruise and airport retail. - The Soccer Ball charm is now part of the company’s permanent lineup, so it should remain a long-term offering rather than a limited drop. The bottom line: - Jet Set Candy is betting that soccer’s global reach makes it a natural fit for jewelry built around travel, memory and place.
