Get creative with charms

wineglass-335Silver and gold charms are most frequently used to create a stunning charm bracelet, but the imagination and creativity of some people take them into places you would never expect to find them. I love hearing from my customers when they find a new use for charms and tell me how they were able to create something that would have been impossible or very difficult without them.


One of the very clever ideas one of our customers had, was to use silver charms to decorate a dolls house. A telephone charm is just the right size to sit beside the couch on a side table in the lounge room of a dolls house. Of course the charm was silver, which isn’t the best colour for a phone, but using automotive paints she was able to make it black and paint the numbers on the dial in white.


The charms we sell are delivered to our customers highly polished and the surface of the charm won’t always readily take a coat of paint directly. This is easily overcome by using an undercoat or primer. Spray paint in cans from an auto shop comes in hundreds of colours and the compatible primer is designed to adhere to bare metal. Applying several light coats will give a beautiful finish and a little care will prevent getting ‘runs’ where too much paint is applied in one pass. Should you make a mistake, automotive paint is soluble in acetone and a quick soak will remove it without causing any damage to the charm.


In our range of ‘house and home’ charms you could find many suitable items for decorating your own doll’s house. We have kitchen implements such as kettles, jugs, knives and forks and spoons. For the lounge room we have several styles of telephone charms, from modern to antique, so you are able to match the period of your home. You will also find chairs, clocks, candle sticks, champagne buckets and even toilet charms and grandfather clocks.


Another customer was unfortunate to lose her mother and wanted to create something special for her sister to remember her by. She made a crystal hanging and wove in some silver charms from our store. Her mother loved knitting, reading, flowers and dolls and she was able to find these charms on our website to incorporate into her craft-work. Being able to create something with your own hands that has such a personal meaning for someone you love must give you a deeply felt sense of joy in difficult times. Everyone has moments and loves that can be represented by beautiful and precious items designed for a bracelet, but able to be used in many other ways as well.


Charms can easily be integrated into handmade creations using wool or cotton that blends in with the materials you are using. Jump rings would normally be removed first, but if you needed to use them in your design you should order the charms with ‘closed’ jump rings. You may also choose to use link-locks so they can be attached without soldering that could damage the piece you are creating.


Clip on charms (with a parrot clasp) let you dress up nearly anything; mobile phone cases that need some extra bling, something to personalise your keys or on the zipper of a handbag or purse. The range of items you can accessorise is limited only by your imagination and the availability of somewhere to clip them.


wineglass-close-335If you simply have too much money then a set of wine glass trinkets could be just the thing to impress your friends. Extender chains are 5cm long and can have a charm attached halfway along the chain. They clip together around the stem of your wineglass so you will always know which one is yours. Simply choose a set of matching chains and an equal number of different charm designs so everyone has there own unique marker. Silver looks great, but if you want to truly show off  your wealth then gold charms are highly recommended. There’s nothing like the sound of gold on crystal as you raise your glass in a toast to your guests.


Christmas and birthday presents can be dressed up with charms too. Most of our silver charms are very inexpensive and look great attached to the ribbon of a present. A stick on bow will cost a couple of dollars and be thrown away, for just a few dollars more a charm will be cherished and can become a nice addition to the present. For birthdays a ‘sweet 16′ or ’21’ charm or any of the many special birthday charms would look great. At Christmas you might like to choose a Christmas tree charm or even a Santa charm for that special touch.


I’m sure that there are hundreds of ways to use charms other than on a bracelet and I would love to learn about how you have been creative with charms too. Please leave a comment to share with our other readers.

How to create a charm bracelet

cbchains-335People are always looking for a way to carry precious memories with them in order to share them with others. Mobile phones are packed with more family photos than the actual album sitting at home, and joyful faces smile on as they scroll through. Every picture tells a story, but data doesn’t last forever, and it’s not something you traditionally pass down to your children or grandchildren. Those who inherit want something tangible with meaning packed into every fibre, nook and cranny.


Charm bracelets fulfil this need with a treasure that can be passed from generation to generation. They may seem old-fashioned in such a technological age, but charm bracelets are making a big comeback as a popular heirloom. Assembling your own charm bracelet is an easy and fun way to cherish life experiences with a single figurine or landmark dangling from your wrist in pristine gold or silver.


How do I get started?


Before you can add charms to your charm bracelet, you need to actually have a bracelet. From there you can add all the charms you like. As long as they fit, that is. There are certain chains that are ideal for charm bracelets that make adding charms easier. Before you decide on the chain, you’ll need to measure your wrist to see what length you’ll need.


Use a measuring tape and wrap it snugly around your wrist until the 0 touches the unrolled tape. Once you’ve got the exact measurement of your wrist, add approximately 2-3 centimetres to that measurement to ensure the bracelet will fit. You don’t want it so tight that you cut off circulation, but you also need to think about the bracelet slipping off if it’s too big. For those who want a looser-fitting bracelet without it falling off, a couple centimetres added to the length won’t do any harm.


Chain types that are ideal for charm bracelets include Belcher, Long Curb and Cable chains because of the open style of links. Chains such as regular Curb chains or chains with tightly knit or alternating links aren’t suited for attaching charms, so it’s best to avoid them when assembling your perfect charm bracelet.


2 Wombat Charm (chr-1706)-335How do I choose charms?


It’s entirely up to you which charms you want to place on your charm bracelet, but most people choose charms that have a significant meaning to them. Memories that they have of a particular place or travel destination can be adequately captured with charms of monuments or symbols related to a particular country. A vacation in New Zealand could very well call for a Kiwi bird charm. A visit to London may make you want to add a touch of the British Isles to your bracelet.


There are many different categories for charms on our site, anything from religious charms to work charms to travel charms. Each has a special meaning to the beholder, so it’s hard to go wrong when choosing your charms. The only problem you’ll face will be narrowing down which ones you want They won’t all fit on your charm bracelet! Having a common theme with your charms or getting charms solely for big events such as a wedding or birthday will help you limit your charms to a wearable number.


How do I put the charms on the bracelet?


When ordering a new bracelet on our site, any charms that you order with it will be soldered on. If you prefer to fit the charms on yourself, link locks can be sent with your charm bracelet so that you can fasten them on at home. When adding new charms to an already existent bracelet, have the jeweller solder them on so they won’t fall or break off of the bracelet. Should you need a charm removed to make room for a different one, the jeweller can also provide this service.


Another option we offer is how far apart the spacing will be between charms. Though it may seem second nature to ask for evenly-spaced charm bracelets, some people prefer to add charms from one end to the other throughout the life of the wearer. Some may find it more comfortable to wear one way or the other. It all comes down to personal preference. If the bracelet is a gift for someone, it may be necessary to ask them their preference before ordering.


Choosing a clasp for the bracelet is an important part of the process as well. The usual parrot clasp may be difficult to fasten one-handed, but we do offer heart padlocks in place of one. If you’re buying a charm bracelet for a child, a parrot clasp is most likely out of the question. Children don’t yet have the dexterity for one-handed fastening. Unless you have a child that’s unusually talented, it’s best to go with the heart padlock. Your current charm bracelet that you’ll be gifting to your child, should it have a parrot clasp or other hard-to-open fastening device, can have a different clasp attached if necessary.


2 Dummy Charm (chr-1776)-335Why should I buy a charm bracelet?


There are many reasons to create a charm bracelet, one of which is a lifetime of memories. Generational gifting has a special meaning that doesn’t only appear in photos. Charm bracelets can be symbols of a family tradition or bond between family members. The love that is felt between romantic partners can be summed up in the charms placed on a Christmas or anniversary charm bracelet. The possibilities of meaning are endless.


A charm bracelet is both an attractive jewellery piece and a story all wrapped into one. Make sure the quality you choose for the bracelet is one that will last a lifetime. Chain Me Up offers charm bracelets in a variety of gold types, including yellow, white and rose gold, as well as sterling and tarnish-resistant silver. Gift packaging is also available to add an extra touch of finesse and sentiment. You or your loved one will be able to treasure your charm bracelet for many generations to come.


Should you need any assistance in assembling your charm bracelet, our customer representatives are always here to help. You can call our help number at (07) 5590 7108 or contact us via Skype or email. We also offer a callback service where you can leave your name and number, and we’ll return your call as soon as possible. We thank you for choosing our services.

How to choose a gold chain

white gold box chainFor the casual observer, it seems that those among us who wear jewellery regularly have effortlessly put their outfit together every morning. Little do they know that there’s a lot of thought put into what type of jewellery goes with what outfit. Choosing the right gold chain for your particular outfit can be a difficult decision, but we’ve come up with a helpful guide that will make picking the best chain for your wardrobe as effortless as it seems.


What type of gold?


This is the first thing you should consider because the type of gold you wear with a particular outfit may clash if not chosen correctly. For example, rose gold goes well with more subtle colours like ivory or nude. Colours like beige or coral can also accentuate the rose gold, and vice versa. Likewise, yellow gold and white gold have their own colour pairings.


Yellow gold pairs well with bolder, warmer colours like navy or red. If you really want to accentuate it, wear white or black; it will really pop when placed against color extremes. Yellow gold is by far the most versatile when pairing jewellery with clothing. White gold is just about as versatile, but you have to take skin tone into account with this particular metal. Cool skin tones benefit the most from white gold, so you’ll find that it doesn’t pair well with a tan or rosier skin.


How many karats should the gold be?


When choosing a gold chain for your outfit, the number of karats should also be a factor. The oils in our skin can corrode and tarnish jewellery over time because of the consistent contact with those oils. Choosing gold that is more durable can help fend off the negative effects of wear and tear, letting you keep your jewellery pieces for longer.


First off, you absolutely don’t want anything higher than 18 karats if you’re going to be wearing the gold chain often. Anything in the range of 20-24 karats will be softer and is more likely to bend, scratch or squish (24 karat gold is particularly malleable because of its purity). Gold chains should be in the range of 9 -18 karats. This is because they have enough of the gold to maintain the appearance of it while also containing a more solid metal to help keep its shape.


Choosing solid gold over jewellery that is simply gold-plated is a wise decision. Gold-plated jewellery may be cheaper, but it’s… well… cheaper. The plating will quickly wear off with continued use, whereas solid gold will last much longer and maintain its shape. You’ll get more use and longevity out of a higher quality necklace, so get ready to shell out more cash than expected. It’s highly worth it in the long run.


chain lengthsHow long should the chain be?


This can vary depending on your outfit and gender. Men’s gold chains are pretty simple; longer lengths should be chunkier without being overly designed. A short gold chain should be understated with medium to smaller links. Women’s gold chains, on the other hand, can vary depending on the type of links used and outfit worn.


You must always be aware of your neckline. A necklace that’s too short on a deep neckline can fall in the space between the breasts. Likewise, a necklace that’s too long can look awkward while proving difficult when leaning or bending over. If you find that your necklace is overly long, you can shorten it by looping it around your neck twice. This also creates a nice layering effect while keeping the necklace out of your way.


What type of link should I use?


The type of link used for a woman’s gold chain can be chosen according to length or personal preference. For longer gold chains without a pendant, delicate-looking links like the Figaro or Belcher, such as those seen in our Thin Gold Chains section. Several necklaces of this link type and length can be layered for a more dramatic and eye-catching effect, or they can be worn as a single chain against a solid colour.


For those who want longer gold chains with a pendant on them, a sturdier chain is in order. Cable and rope chains are durable enough to hold pendants according to the size of the chain (medium chains can hold medium pendants, and vice versa with large pendants and large chains). You’ll want to stay away from Belcher chains when using pendants, as these are very delicate. Belcher chains are also helpful when adjusting the length of the necklace because of the more open links.


Box chains are also a good choice for pendant necklaces. They don’t often tangle or twist, making them ideal for pendants that can cause the necklace to swing back and forth. Aside from this valuable feature, box chains make matching jewellery easier because of the box chain’s plainer yet elegant appearance. You can match quite a bit of jewellery with the box chain, whereas the Figaro chain or other fancy chains may need customized jewellery to match the link design.


What clasp should I use for this chain?


Once again, it depends on the link type and length, as well as the width of the chain. Our gold chains come with a standard parrot clasp, but this may not be ideal for everyone. Parrot clasps can be difficult to open for those with limited dexterity, and they require a precise aim to fasten properly. Those who have troubles with parrot clasps should consider using a heart padlock with a medium chain to make things easier when fastening it.


Heart padlocks can also be a great addition to longer necklaces in place of a pendant. They’re perfectly designed to be lightweight enough to be hung on more delicate chains, and they make a beautiful necklace feature. We have a variety of heart padlock designs for all of our chains; you can view the selection in our Gold Padlocks section.


What other considerations are there?


Personal taste plays a big part when choosing which gold chain to wear, but there are several other options that customers don’t know about. Here at Chain Me Up, we not only adjust your gold chain to whatever length is desired, but we can customize your chain with a variation of link colours and types in the same chain. Alternating gold colours can add something special to the chain you purchase, so that’s something else to consider.


When selecting the length of your chain, make sure you have precise measurements in mind. If you aren’t sure what length to order, you can always consult us or order a slightly longer chain than you think you need. Longer chains can be shortened, but lengthening a shorter chain isn’t as easy and may cost more at your local jewellery shop. Any questions can be answered by our expert jewellery team by using any of the contact forms on our site. You can also consult our handy Buyer’s Guide!

Work Charms

Handcuffs Charm (chr-2314)-335

The world is filled with talented individuals who fill our lives with joy with the work they do. The happy, smiling faces of the baristas at the coffee shop or the calm demeanour of the nurses who take care of us all make our lives better. Isn’t it time to appreciate these superstars with a charm made just for them?


Work charms are a great way to show someone you appreciate what they do for you and everyone else. Those long shifts don’t pull themselves, after all. Volunteers devote hours of their week to helping people out without expecting payment, whether it’s feeding the hungry or caring for abused and abandoned animals. Even those with hobbies contribute great things to society. Gardeners, seamstresses and painters brighten city streets and town halls, sometimes not even bothering to take credit for their work.


We’ve made work charms especially for these people, these hard workers that give so much of themselves to their career and their interests without a second thought for themselves. Our collection has a little something for everyone. All charms are made from the highest quality silver or gold and will add just the amount of sparkle you want to your jewellery collection. You’ll be proud to show your support for your favourite working woman or man. Here are just a few of our favourite work charms:


Handcuffs Charm No, these aren’t for representing the noble career of a criminal. These handcuffs represent the bravest among us who risk their lives every day just by putting on a badge. Being a policeman is a tough job, one that few have the grit to do. With the recent wave of violence between police and protesters, it’s easy to see why few pass the entrance tests to become one of the Men in Blue. You can show your support for these upstanding men and women by adding this handcuffs charm to your bracelet. The next time you see a hard-working officer, buy him a cup of coffee. He’ll appreciate it.


Hammer Charm When you picture a tough line of work, some tend to conjure up the image of a Handyman. These fellows can be anyone from a plumber to a carpenter to an electrician. This hammer charm represents the blow after blow to nail heads, the twisting of screws, and the sore thumbs that come with the job of these fine men. Long days turn into long nights, and by the time these fellows get home, they’re exhausted. And yet, they get up in the morning time and time again to do it all over. The hammer charm is perfect for the handyman in your life or anyone who has a tool shed hobby.


Hammer Charm (chr-0915)-335Cash Register Charm – If you’ve ever worked in retail, you know how mentally exhausting it can be to deal with angry customers day in and day out. These brave knights put on their name tag each day and know that they’re going to get yelled at during their shift, but for what they don’t know. Retail workers do their very best each day to serve us and help us find the things we need, regardless of whether we are pleasant or in a bad mood. This cash register charm is for anyone who’s worked a part-time retail job to pay for school and staying up late to make ends meet. It’s a thankless job, but we would like to thank them from the bottom of our hearts with this sparkling gold charm.


Stethoscope Charm – Where would we all be if there were no doctors? All of our bumps, bruises and more serious medical conditions would leave us to fend for ourselves. Luckily, we do have these medical professionals, and they are some of the hardest workers among us. Doctors can spend days being on-call at the hospital with little to no sleep, and yet they do their best to heal our ailments and comfort us when we’re sick. It’s hard to express or even realize how much they mean to us, but this stethoscope charm does it all. Your doctor will know its significant meaning when you wear it to your next doctor’s visit.


Whether you know someone in the workforce that makes you think of them when you see these charms or you spot one that fits your own profession, make sure you add it to your charm bracelet to always be mindful of the things they do for you. You can check out our entire collection of work charms here.

Men"s Gold Chains

9ct Round Curb Chain (HM-CUR-0009)-480When selecting a gold chain for the man in your life it is important to choose a chain that is masculine.


A number of styles seem to be more popular with men, figaro and curb chains are generally the most widely worn. The curb chain features links of all the same length that lie on the same plane. This is achieved by grasping the link at each end and twisting it 90 degrees. When all links are shaped like this they create a gold chain that lays flat on a table, unlike a belcher chain where each link joins the next at right angles.


Curb chains have a few variations to the standard round link curb chain. For the finer chains the top and bottom surfaces can be diamond cut. This leaves both faces with a flat surface and rounded edges to better reflect the light. A further variation is a bevelled curb chain. This is a diamond cut curb with more diamond cutting to the edges of the chain, giving a bevelled shape to the edge of the chain.


Bevelling is normally not suited to the finer chains and usually is applied to chains that are at least 3mm wide. It creates extra facets, so the chain will have 6 or 8 flat surfaces depending on the type of bevelling applied.


Figaro chains are very similar to curb chains and can also be diamond cut and/or bevelled. The links in a figaro chain are the same design as curb links, but made up of two different lengths. The most common styles are repeating patterns of one long link and one short link to create a ‘figaro 11’ style and one long link followed by three short links to create a ‘figaro 13’ style chain. Other combination of long and short links are produced but these tend to be finer styles and favoured more by the ladies.


Men’s gold chains for necklaces should normally be around 5mm or wider and for bracelets 7mm or wider. A finer chain for a man’s necklace may be suitable when it carries a pendant but the two should compliment each other in proportion.



Men"s Gold Chains

Food Charms

Knife Fork and Spoon Charm (chr-0447)-335It’s more than just an essential. Food is an art, a culinary design that whisks us away to a land of succulent crab dishes and perfectly balanced soups. The number of recipes in the world is way too high to count. Cooking shows parade across our television screens and make us want to consume each and every dish that appears on the screen. No one who has watched Gordon Ramsay’s cooking shows has ever turned up their nose at whatever he’s made. Food, for many, isn’t just food… it’s a way of life.


Food brings family to the table and conjures up memories of dinners past as we join our loved ones in devouring the delectable meal in front of us. It’s this fondness for food that has inspired us here at Chain Me Up to create a collection of charms dedicated entirely to the art of cooking and culinary dishes, as well as our favourite beverages and snack foods. We hope these charms will brighten up your day as you show them off to your friends and family. Here are just a few from our selection:


Crayfish Charm – Here in the Outback, we enjoy a good seafood buffet from time to time. A boiled pot of crayfish makes for an incredibly tasty treat, especially when spiced to perfection. Tender crab or lobster meat just melts in your mouth as your taste buds sing and savour this delectable meal. This crustacean will remind you of all those backyard barbeques with family and friends, where the food was good and the company was even better.


2 Cup Cake Charm (chr-2182)-750

Cupcake Charm – Few can resist the siren call of a frosted baked treat. Cupcakes are one of the tastiest things invented since cookies made their debut, and we find our mouths watering just thinking about them. Perhaps your mother made them for you on special occasions or for your birthday. You scarfed them down before anyone else had a chance to with no regrets whatsoever. Just to let you in on a little secret… adults still do this as well. Then we go and spend hours on the treadmill hoping to sweat the calories out. We ask ourselves if it’s worth the trade-off. It totally, totally is.




Meat Pie Charm
– Who can forget this mealtime staple? Whether you love or hate meat pies, they’re incredibly popular in Australia, and they’re here to stay. Stuffed inside a flaky golden crust is a warm gravy of meat and savoury seasonings. Although you’ll see meat pies at petrol stations and convenience stores, there’s nothing that beats a home-made meat pie with fresh ingredients like onions, cheese and minced meat rolling in gravy. Top it with ketchup, and you’ve got a meal made for an Aussie king!


Wine Bottle and Corkscrew Charm – A toast! A toast! Or perhaps you’d rather keep things quiet while sipping on a nice glass of Pinot Gregio or a sultry Merlot. Wine and fine dining have been paired together for thousands of years for various reasons, but it wasn’t until the 1980’s that serious consideration was given to what wine goes with what food. Aroma, density and taste all play a delicate part when choosing the perfect wine for your evening meal. Frankly, we don’t intend to judge you on what wine you drink. We just want to let you show your appreciation for this delicious beverage straight off the vine.


Knife, Fork and Spoon Charm – This is a charm that really says it all. Where would we be without the proper tools for dining? We’d be sent straight back to a prehistoric era where eating with your hands was the only possible way to nourish yourself. Thankfully, society has grown more sophisticated and has developed these tools to get delicious foods from the plate and straight into our mouths with relatively little mess. All anyone will be able to think of when they see this charm is that you must be a fan of fine dining. After all, the charm is a set of utensils made from solid gold. You don’t have to tell them you’re more of a fan of take-out.


The next time you’re out dining, show off your appreciation for culinary marvels with one of our food charms. You can browse the entire collection here.

Animal Charms

Horse Charm (chr-2770)-335As a cat owner, I personally know the joy an animal can bring to a person’s life. Even the hardest of hearts can be melted by the rolling purr of a kitten or the overzealous bounce of a new puppy. There’s a pet for every type of person. Maybe you’re the more leisurely sort; a goldfish is generally pretty easy to take care of and provides a soothing effect while watching them swim, their tails gracefully flipping from side to side. For those with a taste for the exotic, a tarantula or snake may be just the companion you need.


Our furry (and scaly) friends depend on us as much as we depend on them. It can be hard work taking care of them, but they hold a special place in our hearts and minds. For pet owners, it’s difficult to imagine life before ownership. The padding of paws running through the house seems built in to our daily lives. Honestly, where would we be without that happy face to greet us when we come home from work or school? Although not everyone needs the fulfilment of owning a pet, those who do treasure every moment they have with their animal buddy.


For this reason, we’ve created an entire section of animal charms to capture the energy and heart-warming love that these creatures bestow upon us. We’ve also included several animals that, though they can’t be pets, are favourites of animal-lovers everywhere.


 


Cat (movable) Charm (chr-2159)-335Cat Charm Naturally, this one had to be first. This cat charm will have you thinking of your precious fur baby every time you look at it. Crafted in splendid gold or silver, the shining image of your favourite feline friend evokes that warm sense of hearth and home that makes living there so special. Although your cat might not think of the charm as anything more special than a new dangly toy, your friends and family will see just how much you love your little fur-ball!


Corgi Dog Charm There’s something inherently charming about the Corgi. Perhaps it’s the small stump-like legs that have to work extra hard when they run. Maybe it’s the glistening eyes and triangular ears that stick straight up when they stare at you with that cute face they always have. Whatever it is, this Corgi charm encases these qualities in fine gold or silver for you to add to your charm bracelet. Check out our other dog charms for a variety of breeds that suit your fancy.


Dragon Charm Did you think we’d leave mythical animals out? Of course not! The power and majesty of a dragon can barely be contained in this exquisitely-crafted charm. This particular type of dragon is the one most commonly seen in English and Norse folklore and on coats of arms. With his wings spread wide and fire belching from his mouth, this sparkling gold or silver dragon is perfect for Lord of the Rings fans or avid followers of ancient legend.


Teddy Bear Charm Didn’t we all have a favourite teddy bear or stuffed animal when we were younger? Some still do. This iconic staple of a child’s younger years was originally named after President Theodore Roosevelt and based on a political cartoon, of all things. It has since become an essential for children’s bedrooms and toy boxes that is both cuddly and sweet.


Wise Owl Charm The owl has always been a symbol of wisdom and knowledge, even since ancient times. It has often been depicted as the animal representation of the Roman goddess Minerva who was known for her wisdom and strength. Although not suited as pets, despite what the Harry Potter books may say, they are still incredibly interesting creatures with nocturnal hunting skills that can’t be beat. When you hear the soft “hoot” of an owl outside your window, give this charm a jingle to show your appreciation for this amazing animal.


Our collection of animal charms is one of the most extensive that we have with over 20 pages to choose from. There are charms featuring anything from mythical creatures like unicorns to exotic animals from the Outback or the Serengeti, as well as household pets and wildlife. Avid animal-lovers will appreciate the valuable memories they’ll get when they add this charm to their own collection. You can check out more options by visiting our gallery.

Rose Gold Charms

2 Eiffel Tower Charm (chtr-cgchs383)-335Rose gold jewellery was strongly favoured in the first half of the last century for it’s beautiful warmth of colour. I wear my grandfather’s rose gold wedding ring and love the deep colour that a little extra copper gives to the metal.


Today rose gold is popular with many of those who fancy their own style with a touch of nostalgia for times past.


A combination of yellow gold and rose gold charms can produce a very stylish charm bracelet. The handmade bracelets we supply can be crafted to match with alternating links of yellow and rose gold or white gold links. This gives you the ability to craft a very unique and personal charm bracelet carrying the symbols of your loves, memories and achievements.


Our full range of around 4600 individual charms are all able to be made in both yellow and rose gold and sterling silver. Around 4000 charms in our range are also available in white gold.


The Eiffel Tower shown here would be a great reminder of your trip to Paris and is just one in our range of travel charms. Many of our customers wait until they arrive home from their holidays to add a few new charms as a reminder of their overseas travels. Knowing the charms we sell are great quality and we are here in Australia means it is safer than buying from a store or market stall where you can’t return to if you find the charms you bought weren’t genuine. We have a number of customers that have been taken in by fly by night merchants overseas and have replaced the dodgy charms they bought there with genuine charms from our store.



Rose Gold Charms
