Question 1

How do I choose a charm that actually means something?

Accepted Answer

Start from a fact rather than a taste: where they were born, the dog's breed, the year they graduated, the place they keep going back to. A charm that points at something specific reads as thoughtful even when it is inexpensive.

Question 2

What can I have engraved, and how much text fits?

Accepted Answer

Anything marked engravable in our catalog can carry a short engraving, usually a name, a set of initials or a date. Shorter is easier to read on a small surface, so we suggest keeping it to a few characters per line.

Question 3

What is the difference between gold plate and sterling silver here?

Accepted Answer

Most charms are offered in gold plate and in rhodium plated sterling silver. Gold plate gives you the warmer look at a lower price, sterling silver is the more durable everyday choice. Prices differ by metal, so the starting price you see is for the least expensive option currently in stock.

Question 4

How much should I plan to spend?

Accepted Answer

Most single charms sit in the under fifty and under one hundred dollar range. If you are building a bracelet as a gift, budget for the base plus two or three charms and leave room for the recipient to add more later.

Question 5

Can I give a charm bracelet that they add to over time?

Accepted Answer

That is the intended use. Give the base with a couple of charms attached, then add one for each birthday or milestone. Our builder lets you assemble the whole thing before you buy so you can see how it will look.

Question 6

What if I am not sure about their style?

Accepted Answer

Sterling silver and a simple motif are the safest combination. Failing that, an engravable disc with a date works with almost anything they already wear.
