Charm bracelets

Tacky? Outdated? What say you? I’m interested in building a yellow gold JA (James Avery) charm bracelet but if you know of other bracelet makers who can do a better job dare I say compared to JA, then I’m all ears

show me your charm bracelets!!

i love charm bracelets! i think they are a classic. i've always wanted one but have never made it a priority. i fear "fuddy duddy" and to some extent, clutter. and when not done right they can be both fuddy duddy and cluttery

i am not familiar with james avery. (i just looked them up) i would say so many jewelers do lovely charms and link bracelets

I like the idea of charm bracelets but usually not the execution because the dangling drives me crazy. I don’t think they’re fuddy duddy or unattractive though at all! I saw a charm bracelet at a jeweler here which was like a bunch of charms linked together instead of hanging from a bracelet - like Mrs B’s wonderful bracelet that she made a post about recently - and I thought that was a lovely way of making something delicate and modern without the fussiness. No idea about who makes them though!

This is my silver Tiffany charm bracelet.It has attachment clips on the rings so that I don't have to take it in to be soldered every time I get a new charm.The diamond heart is not Tiffany,it came from Beaverbrooks & I'd had it sitting in a box for many years until it found it's home on the bracelet.Unfortunately the little scooter got bent out of shape when I caught it on a heavy bag of shopping.It will be repaired when I get the chance to go to the jewellers.

Absolutely classic. I have two YG charm bracelets; the first one I was given by my parents for my college graduation gift—they’d already installed a few charms on it, all tropical/beach-themed. The second I inherited from my grandmother’s estate. She loved to travel, Christmas, and Florida so there was a central them to hers as well. I’ve thought about combining them but nah. I decided I wanted a charm bracelet of my own after all the times I went to grandma’s house and she let me try on a lot of her jewelry. Her charm bracelet was the piece I always asked to see last because it was my favorite item from her extensive collection.

I like dangling charm bracelets for dressier occasions, and not as work/everyday pieces, as they would annoy me when I work with a laptop etc...

I love charm bracelets. Got an antique one which has really nice charms - a cross, a seashell, etc, and it looks great.

I dream of the Asprey Woodland charms - would love a blackberry & a butterfly - but at $2,900 per charm they're completely out of my price range!

I love them! I have my grandmother's and I treasure it, although I rarely wear it. I think they're classic, I just have a hard time wearing something dangly all day with work.

My mom has a beautiful YG one that she never wears! I made her promise to give it to me someday, she used to let me borrow it when I was a teen and I would love to wear hers and my gram’s together.

Hi @Made in London -

There's a thread by me, still currently in the first couple of pages of SMTB about my charm bracelets - lots of photos there. I think you might have commented on it? Mine are a bit different, but still a look anyone could do, so - worthwhile taking a look.

 

[Made in London]

Oh yes,silly me, I forgot

Love charm bracelets and the more meaningful the better. Trying to buy used charms and frankly they are not cheap. there is a market out there and the workmanship can be incredible

@mrs-b, please post links. I did a search and found only one thread that featured a posting about a rose gold bracelet and a ring you found. (Lovely bracelet, but where are the other two and the charms you mentioned in it?)

@mrs-b and @Made in London , have you posted your charm bracelets and links to threads about them in this thread about traditional charm bracelets?

Show us your Traditional Charm Bracelets....

I hope these bracelets become really fashionable again. My local jeweller tells me he's scrapped dozens over the last few years. He specialises in old/antique jewellery but has found that most customers wander in looking for Pandora and the like. It breaks my heart to see some of those lovely...

Dangling charm bracelets are hard to photograph "in action"!
