Another Step Closer to a Charm Bracelet Masterpiece
Second post in a series of helpful tips on creating a cherished bracelet of your own.
Bracelet Theme
- Pick a theme for your bracelet. It can be mementos from special times in your life, or holidays, travels, animals, beach charms, the possibilities are endless. It's a great creative outlet & way to express your personality.
- Some charm themes I chose for my bracelets are 1) all moveable charms; 2) all Citrine colored gems (my birthstone); 3) a bunch of different Sagittarius zodiac charms ( my sign of course); 4) a grand tour of Europe, although I've never been it's a dream of mine; and 5) my very favorite is a collection of souvenir Florida attraction charms from the pre-Disney days. I have Silver Springs, Bok Tower, Lion Country Safari, Weeki Wachee, Cypress Gardens, Gatorland, Saint Augustine, Marineland, and Six Gun Territory, to name a few.
- Great places to look for vintage charms are flea markets, estate sales, antique shops, and my favorite place - on the internet. Websites like Ebay & Ruby Land have thousands of vintage charms for sale. Be careful to read the descriptions carefully & check the seller's return policy in case the charm isn't exactly what you thought it would be.

Can I mix silver and gold on the same bracelet? If I have some of the enameled charms, will they work okay with the silver or gold ones? Thanks!
Hi Sally – Gold & silver mixed theme bracelets are quite trendy these days. I tend to keep my bracelets within a theme or pattern though,and I don’t mix the two. I’m an enamel charm fanatic & mix those with anything. It’s all up to the individual taste. In my opinion keeping within a size range is more important than the medium.
