Charm Bracelets

A charm bracelet is often worn to tell a story, representing meaningful aspects of someone’s life, such as their passions, their relationships or their personal beliefs.  

It may hold immense sentimental value for the wearer, celebrating a special milestone or a significant moment. For example, a compass charm could mark a new direction in life or a lock charm might be given as a Valentine’s Day or anniversary gift, signifying a deep and abiding love. 

A bracelet with charms like a cornicello or a horseshoe is thought to promote good fortune and protection for those who wear them. Charms might also be personalised, including initials, zodiac symbols and birthstone gems, or reflect unique personality traits, such as a hummingbird charm to represent a carefree spirit. 

Some however, simply like the look of certain charms. A charms bracelet is often worn to complement one’s individual style, whether it be an evil eye motif for its bold and striking look or a heart-shaped charm for its timeless feel.  

Choosing a bracelet charm is as simple as finding something that speaks to your personal taste and style. 

For a touch of feminine elegance, opt for charms like a butterfly or an angel wing, signifying grace. Or if you prefer pieces with a more minimalist feel, try a sleek and simple motif, such as a cross or an initial silver charm. 

Bracelet charms can also celebrate a special occasion, like a milestone birthday or anniversary, or a personal achievement in your life, such as the purchase of a new home, a new job or the birth of your first child. This could be in the form of a gold charm key to unlock new possibilities or a snake charm to represent growth and renewal, as well as new beginnings. 

Your choice of bracelet charm might also be inspired by your interests and hobbies. A compass charm could represent a love for travel and exploration, a tennis racquet may appeal to the sports fan or a bee charm could symbolise an affinity with nature.

As a customization piece of jewellery, a charm bracelet is versatile and able to be styled in a number of interesting ways. 

Wear a single charm bracelet in a fine chain to curate a modern and minimalist look. Or, complement bracelet charms with a set of matching earrings or a pendant to create a clean and uniform balance between pieces. Add a stylish accent to a charm bracelet in gold with a plain matching band or a rose gold charm bracelet with a matching bangle for a romantic touch.   

It’s simple to style your charm bracelet with Michael Hill’s Pendant Bar. Choose one charm or multiple charms that go with a particular theme, completing the look with a customised necklace to match. 

Including a charm bracelet as part of a bracelet stack is also a stylish way to express your individuality while remaining on trend. Add two or three bracelets in the same precious metal for a relaxed look. For a bold statement, wear four or more layers, mixing bracelets and bangles of varying precious metals and sizes. When choosing to layer different types of precious metals, it’s important to note that varying hardness of metals can lead to wear over time.
