Charm bracelets typically feature multiple charms or pendants. You can add to your collection of charms over time by choosing a new pendant to signify life events or special experiences. The most traditional charm bracelets are a simple chain link style designed to be decorated with charms over time. These charms typically need to be added by a jeweler.
Today’s modern charm bracelets are available in a range of other styles that have made it easier to add charms and customize these pieces at home.
- Elongated chain: One of the most popular charm bracelet styles is an elongated chain. This style features chain links that are slightly longer and more oval than traditional round, short links. This larger link makes it easier to attach charms to the bracelet. Elongated gold and silver charm bracelets are timeless pieces that can be added to over time.
- Leather bracelets: A modern take on charm bracelets, leather charm bracelets usually feature one or several leather strips that go around your wrist. Charms can be threaded onto the bracelet.
- Bangles: Bangle charm bracelets are usually thin gold or silver bracelets with a few charms hanging from them. Often, the charms on the bracelet are already attached when you purchase it. It may not be possible to add new charms, but you can layer additional bangle bracelets for a mix-and-match look.
You can match the bracelet style to your personal preferences, then customize it with charms that represent your initials, special memories, favorite things, and loved ones. Because these bracelets are so unique and meaningful, they’re also a great gift idea.
