Recently I’ve been throwing around the idea of getting a running inspired tattoo. (I already have one tattoo on my hip.) But, I haven’t been able to decide what or where I want it. I just want to have something on my body that professes my love to running.
Eh, not like this but I’m researching…
Since I can’t decide on something permanent I’ve become obsessed with running jewelry. This weekend at the Rock N Roll Pasadena expo I stopped by the Terryberry Jewelry booth and fell in love with their line.
Collectors will appreciate our unique 5-gram .999 fine silver art bars, featuring intricate designs and superior craftsmanship. These bars are a perfect addition to any collection and come with secure packaging.
There are super cute charms for all of the RnR races… I love this idea since you can’t (or really shouldn’t?) wear your race medals all the time – but you can represent all the time with this bracelet! I also love to shop for ladies silver bracelets at Corazon Latino. I think the breitling replica for sale pairs well with it.
But, my favorite thing was the necklace that says “Run Like The Wind”.
I got it at the expo on Saturday and basically haven’t taken it off since! That’s true love.
I went with the circle design because I loved the shape and writing, but I am also really digging the 26.2 charm below. Truthfully, I’m considering getting that one too. Hey, it’s a lot cheaper and easier than a tattoo!
Terryberry is the official jeweler for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series & XTERRA Triathlons. They will have a booth at the RnR NOLA expo this weekend so check ‘em out and let them know RER sent ya! (They are at all the RnR expos – so get one there if you hate to pay shipping!)
You can also check out all their running jewelry here.
And their Rock n Roll Race series jewelry here.

I have to give a shoutout for my friend Erica who makes gorgeous race jewelry: https://store-1c4ee.mybigcommerce.com/race-bling-2/
Kate says
I’m an earrings girl through and through. I own a bunch of jewelry of all kinds but the only things I wear consistently/daily are earrings.
runeatrepeat says
me too 🙂

After reading your post a few days ago, I ordered myself my first piece of running jewelry from etsy. I got the cutest 13.1 charm necklace to proudly wear as I train my my half in April!
runeatrepeat says
yeah! hope you love it 🙂
Sue says
All 3! But I’ll probably wear each separately.
Becky @ RunFunDone says
I am not a jewelry-wearer, so I choose none of the above. BUT I would choose a piece of jewelry over a tattoo. But I’m kind of just scared of commitment.
Susan says
I would get a necklace. Wonder if I could out both the shoe & the 13.1 pendant on the same chain. I’ll be looking for them in Nashville in April!
Susan says
Grrr….put not “out”
Cori @olivetorun says
Also, if I qualify for boston the 26.2 is going on my body somewhere too… however I already have four so I’m not too nervous about committing to it 🙂
jojo says
Jonny Lee Miller (from Elementary) has a 26.2 tat!

If you like necklaces, you should definitely try running the NWM in SF or DC (they just added that one this year). Firemen dressed in tuxes give you a NWM Tiffany’s necklace (that is unique to the race) at the finish. It’s a good experience overall!

I love running jewelry! As a present to myself after my first HM this spring, I’m going to get something, but I haven’t decided yet. I won’t ever put a 13.1 sticker on my car, but I darn sure wear a necklace or bracelet that says it! =)
TorontoRunner says
I love your necklace!!
I am a HUGE fan of charmbraclets.. I have 2 pandora ones and 2 thomas sabo ones. The idea of charms and every charm meaning something is special!
Heidi says
I am super excited to run the Nike Women’s half in DC in April because you get a Tiffany’s running themed necklace instead of a medal!!
Bri says
I always wear earrings, but I’m far more likely to put on a necklace than a bracelet. I usually have a watch on, so I think that might be part of my bracelet issues. I can handle multiple items clanking together.
Deirdre | Oh Well Whatever says
How about a ring with 26.2 diamonds in it? Sounds good to me.
Nicole says
I wear earrings mostly.
What about little shoe prints around the ankle. I have a tattoo on my wrist. To me, it is like jewelry (so previous answer) but can be covered with a watch when I need it to be. It is all about placement!

Necklace (or earrings). I love necklaces, and I think earrings are such a unique jewelry piece to personalize.
Quix says
I love jewelry, I usually have earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet on unless I’m either training or bumming around the house. I’ll have to check those out!
michelle kim says
I prefer earrings when I wear jewelry, but I don’t wear them too often. I feel like I sweat so much and the jewelry will get all ruined.
Love the necklace!
Christine @ BookishlyB says
Get one on your beck so that when you have your hair in braids or a ponytail (while running) it will show. I’ve been getting the itch to get another one lately, too.
Christine @ BookishlyB says
And by “beck” I mean “neck.”
Linda says
I love earrings! I try never to go out without them because I think they express who I truly am. AND they don’t get in your way! 🙂
Gillian says
Hey are you doing RnR San Diego? Was contemplating half vs full…
Gillian says
Saw the circle necklace at the expo and told me husband I wanted it for my birthday (this Monday 2/25) so I hope I get it! As my love for running has grown in the last few years it really made me want to get some runner jewelry ‘cuz I think walking around with race medals all the time would make your neck sore 😉
Karen says
I think jewelry is the perfect way to keep the race high with you when you aren’t running. And a necklace is a lot less painful 🙂
Beth @ Running with the Sunrise says
I’ve looked at a lot of running jewelry and never found anything I liked, but I really love your new necklace. It’s feminine but I could still see wearing it while running. I’m running RNR Chicago so I’ll have to stop by their booth at the expo. I’m definitely a necklace girl in terms of jewelry, unless you count a Garmin as a bracelet.
heather @ run eat play says
I love the circle necklace! Im not a big jewelry person but I prefer necklaces.
Angelica says
I think you should get a tattoo of a stick figure doing your signature running pose! 😉
Nicole says
That would be such an awesome tattoo! Personal, yet funny, and shows her love of running! I think it would actually look really great on a calf, too!
runeatrepeat says
Ha! Love it.
Amy @ Writing While Running says
oooh. What is your purple NB tank? It looks nice! That aside, I don’t wear much jewelry but I would wear a 26.2 ring if I had one 🙂 I’m contemplating asking my bf if he would mind if my wedding band read 26.2.
runeatrepeat says
It’s a sports bra 🙂
Nicole says
i’m addicted to charms…this is a perfect idea! now i just have to run a marathon!
i’m not addicted to tattoos…not a high pain tolerance type of gal. but hey, good luck with that!
Cori @olivetorun says
Necklace for sure!
Em says
Love the necklace! I’m usually an earring or bracelet person, but I would totally wear the circle necklace. I love tattoos, too. My last one was to celebrate finishing my first marathon. It’s definitely my favorite 🙂
MILF Runner says
That circle necklace is pretty. I’m definitely more of a necklace person though I do enjoy my Endorphin Warrior bracelet. That ecard pic cracked me UP!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
I am not a tattoo person but I really would consider one when I qualify for Boston 😉
