Choose a Charm or Two to Start with
If you’re just starting out, it can be helpful to start with a bracelet that already has a few charms on it. That way, the charms will match your style and your personal tastes.
But don’t worry if you don’t have one of these bracelets—you can always buy one later! You could also choose an accessory with some of the features you want, then add your own charm or two at any point in time.
So how do you pick which charm(s) are right for you? Here are some ideas:
Add Charms that Mean Something to You
There are many ways to personalize your charm bracelet. First, think about what your charms should represent. Are you a history buff? Add some historical figures from different time periods. Do you have an interest in psychology? How about a few psychology-related charms? Are you crazy about yoga and meditation? Add some calming elements like a peaceful flower or infinity symbol. Maybe your kids are big into sports or art projects, or maybe they’re just silly little beings with infectious smiles that make you laugh every day—whatever their interests may be, make sure to include those tokens of joy on your bracelet!
Lastly but certainly not least, it’s important to consider the style element of your jewelry collection; after all: if you don’t love it now—how will anything else change?
Sometimes it’s O.K. to Play it Safe
You don’t have to play it safe with a charm bracelet. You can wear whatever you want, but if your goal is to make your bracelet reflect who you are, it’s always good to start with the basics.
It is generally accepted that wearing a charm bracelet in neutral colors and matching the colors on the bracelet to your outfit will help ensure that people notice your jewelry as more than just something pretty around your wrist. It’s also good advice for making sure that if anyone sees the necklace or earrings you’re wearing, they won’t think “Oh yeah, I’ve seen those before.”
For example: If one of my friends had come over wearing this gorgeous yellow scarf last week (which she did), I would have been happy just looking at her instead of staring down at my shoes like an awkward teenager because everyone did tell me they liked them…right?
But Don’t Be Afraid to Break the Rules
But don’t be afraid to break the rules.
Mix and match different styles, colors and materials. Try out different combinations. Use charms that are not traditionally for charm bracelets. Try out new ideas! Experiment with unusual combinations of beads, beads and charms, or even different types of metal for your bracelets. The only limitation is your imagination!
Leave Room for Additions
As your life progresses, so will your charm bracelet. If you’re new to the world of jewelry and want to learn more about it, there are lots of great resources out there: books, videos and online classes that can teach you all about how to find good quality jewelry at affordable prices.
If you already know what kinds of things you like in terms of style and design but don’t know where to start when it comes to buying charms for a charm bracelet, here’s what we recommend:
Start with just one or two charms. Having too many will make it hard for people who see them on display on your wrist or neckline as they pass by in daily life. You also have other ways (e.g., rings) where adding similar items isn’t as necessary because those items aren’t visible all the time throughout each day–they’re only seen when people look closely enough at them! With bracelets though this isn’t possible so keeping this tip in mind will help ensure everyone sees something interesting instead of just an ordinary item like any other item would be!
With these charm bracelet ideas in mind, you’ll be ready to create your own unique jewelry piece.
If you want to create a charm bracelet that reflects your style, here are some ideas:
- Pick charms that reflect your hobbies or interests. Pick your favorite sports team’s logo, like the New York Yankees. If you’re into music, choose an instrument like a guitar or piano key. If you’re into art, maybe pick a paintbrush or paint palette.
- Choose charms that represent family members and pets if they have special meaning in your life. For example, if one of your loved ones passed away recently and they were fond of dogs, perhaps put their beloved dog on the bracelet as a way to remember them every time you look at it.
- Put together several small charms that combine together to form one bigger picture (in this case an animal). For example: choose three different animals (a bear cub, squirrel monkey and lion baby) then add them all together to create one big animal portrait (the animal family).
