The Range of Charm Bracelets and Necklaces Available Today
A report on the different styles and materials that are used in the manufacture of these pieces of jewellery in the 21st century.
Although it is still possible to find traditional sterling silver pieces with heart-shaped padlocks that ensure all of the charms are secure, many people are more interested in the latest designs that have come onto the market in recent years. Black rubber bracelets appeal to the younger crowd and have the advantage of being significantly cheaper than their silver and gold counterparts are. However, if you love the look of gold but cannot afford a solid piece then gold-plated jewellery could be the answer.
The necklaces and other pieces on which it is possible to attach small trinkets are not the only thing to have changed. Instead of little silver houses and animals, people are choosing items fashioned from Murano glass and when they do buy silver charms they are more likely to be in the form of scrabble letters or dice than small animals and cottages. Nevertheless, if you still long for a traditional piece on which you can hang old-fashioned sterling silver trinkets you can find many charm bracelets that will meet with your approval.
Although many people buy their trinkets from the same store that they bought the necklace or bracelet from, there is nothing to stop you from mixing and matching as you see fit. Whilst some people may be keen to ensure that everything they buy matches perfectly, others may be happy with jewellery that is full of contrasts. As with so many other things in life, when it comes down to it, it is a matter of personal choice and the latest trends are less important than your own preferences. If you happen to like modern charms such as gold-plated balls and silver safety chains then you will find that many shops cater to your tastes and if you prefer antique trinkets, these are not too difficult to track down either.
Whilst necklaces and bracelets that are made of rubber may be a practical solution if you are looking for a cheap and durable piece of jewellery, the trinkets that are attached to them need to be made of something harder, such as gold or silver, or they will not last for very long. However, there are items made of copper and tin if you do not want to spend too much on the charms either.
