Learn About Charm Bracelets
Charm bracelets are beautiful and youthful jewellery pieces often imbued with personal significance. Originating as a form of good luck amulet, the charm bracelet has since become a classic and fashionable jewellery item. Appropriate for women of all ages, the charm bracelet is made to evolve and change over time. The charm bracelet grows with its wearer as memories are made and newer charms join or replace older ones.
Charm Bracelet Styles
Chain Charm Bracelets
The chain charm bracelet is the quintessential charm bracelet comprised of a precious metal chain featuring hanging bailed charms. The chain charm bracelet can accommodate the highest number of charms of any charm bracelet, as each chain loop can hold several charms at once. Most vintage charm bracelets showcase the chain charm style, and the basic one-charm chain bracelet has seen resurgence in popularity in recent years.
Link Charm Bracelets
The link charm bracelet is most widely known as the Italian charm bracelet, although the true origin of this unique charm bracelet has never been confirmed. These distinctive link charm bracelets feature decorative charms soldered onto flat, metal links that pop on and off of a stretchy bracelet. The maximum number of links, or charms, that a link charm bracelet can accommodate depends on the size of one’s wrist.
Snake Charm Bracelets
Snake charm bracelets are a relatively new invention, having made their international jewellery market debut in the early 1980s. They typically feature a gold or sterling silver snake chain with bead like charms that slide onto the slithery strand. The snake charm bracelet may also be known as a Pandora charm bracelet, after the Danish jewellery company Pandora that made this charm bracelet style popular around the globe.
Personalized Charms:
Charm bracelets are so special because they are so easy to customize. Popular charms range from religious symbols to charms that depict personal interests or hobbies, to diamonds and gemstones. In fact, many people opt to adorn their charms with the gemstone that correlates with the birth month or zodiac sign of the wearer. If you’re shopping for a charm or a charm bracelet, take the time to consider which shape, gemstone, engraving or ornamentation means the most to you.

Charm Bracelets
Charm bracelets are hip, cool and fun to wear. Not only that, but they are easy to personalise and make Perfect gifts. The best thing about charm bracelets is that they evolve and change with the preferences of the wearer. For this reason, many women have a collection of charms that they mix and match with their outfits. Other women choose to keep special, more sentimental charms stored away and protected from the elements, wearing them only on special occasions.
If you are in the market for a charm bracelet, there are a number of factors you should consider. First, it's important to decide on the base bracelet style. Are you a Silver person or a Gold person? For women who are comfortable wearing big, dangly bracelets, a large link bracelet is a good baseline. For those who are less comfortable with lots of dangles and heavy wrist-wear, a thinner, more elegant Chain Bracelet with a small tight clasp is recommended. Charm bracelets also come in a variety of different Precious Metals. Some women prefer the look and feel of yellow gold, while other women are drawn to the lustre and practicality of silver. Still others may prefer platinum bracelets for their endurance and white sheen.
Once you've chosen your bracelet, you can really have fun with creating and customizing the charms you hang. Picking out charms should be enjoyable and easy. Look for shapes, letters or symbols that appeal to you. Some can be meaningful; others can simply strike your fancy. If you're purchasing a charm bracelet as a gift, then you may want to keep your eyes out for charms that are significant to the specific occasion or to your relationship. Bridesmaid's charm bracelets, for example, are part of a current trend that has really taken off. Another popular trend is mother-daughter charm bracelets. So take a moment to browse Zoara's fantastic selection of high-quality charm bracelets.
