This industrial sterling silver charm holder (especially when antiqued!) is shaped like a modified horseshoe and closes securely with three links of chain (it is handmade so the size and finish may vary a bit). The chain is the only soldered portion, and sometimes the chain varies as items are often discontinued by my supplier or altered to stay trendy. The current chain closure will always be shown I'm my first listing photo. The rest is all formed carefully by hand with thick sterling wire and a hammer. The bail is a simple jump ring sized to fit most chains (4.5 mm approximately). It allows you to add as many charms as you want! The charm holder looks great, more industrial, with an antiqued/oxidized finish.
I can make you a copper charm holder upon request similar to the one in the photo, as I occasionally get requests. The price is a little lower and it has sterling silver chain and bail like the one listed. Please contact me for a custom listing.
Your personalized charm holder will vary in size a bit, but will be approximately 1" tall from the top of the bail to the bottom of the horseshoe and 5/8" or so wide. It will have a hammered SMOOTH texture (shown) with "maker's marks" to give it some character. I made most of the charms seen on the examples, but it would be great for any charms!
I love this feedback from one my charm holder customers: "Love this! So unique and holds lots of charms. I have about 25 or so on there!"
I have had several requests for various charm holders since listing the first item, so I am always in production mode making different styles available. I always have lots on hand that are different from the ones in my shop; convo me if you don't see what you're looking for. I might actually have one already made!
