Pendants with Purpose
Our Story
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
I’m Lesley Jones, the founder of Traveling Pendants, and I’m so glad you’ve found our community. My dream for this company began two decades ago, when a kind woman gave my aunt, who was undergoing cancer treatments, a pendant inscribed with the words “Strength for the Journey.” It meant everything to her.
As a survivor, my aunt later passed it on to my mom when she was facing a difficult time. Eventually, my mom felt called to share it with a friend. And so the cycle continued. That pendant brought incredible strength to our circle—and it still does today.
That legacy of shared strength is what inspired me to create Traveling Pendants. Every pendant carries a story, and together they create a chain of connection that reminds us none of us are ever alone.
MORE THAN JEWELRY
Traveling Pendants is where authentic strength stories live. Each time someone wears a pendant, they add their experience here — a chapter of resilience, healing, or hope. As pendants are passed forward, new stories are added, creating an ever-growing chain of connection.
On this site, you can explore those stories anytime. They are raw, human, and deeply inspiring — a reminder that none of us are ever alone on the journey.
Whether you’re wearing a pendant yourself or simply seeking encouragement, Traveling Pendants is a place to return to whenever you need strength.
Real people. Real stories. Real strength.
HOW OUR PENDANTS TRAVEL
Scan the QR code on the back of your pendant to register it and share your strength story. Each pendant also has a unique number etched on the bottom edge—so you can always track it online, even without scanning. Wear your pendant while you need its reminder, then pass it on to someone who needs strength and encourage them to add their story too.
Once the chain begins, there’s no limit to how far your pendant can travel. Track its journey anytime with the pendant number, and get updates whenever new chapters are added to its online story log.
CONNECTION MATTERS
Connection has been everything in my life, so I wanted to create something that would help others make meaningful connections in theirs. That’s exactly what these pendants do.
Whether you’re the giver or the receiver, a Traveling Pendant comes to life through the moments and stories shared when it’s passed on.
Wear it. Share it. Join a community of incredible givers.
