Charms for Charm Bracelets - Is Bigger Always Better?

Not everyone that loves to wear charm bracelets wants to have the very heavy, multiple charm types of bracelets that are often seen in fashion shows and displays. For those that like a simpler more streamlined type of bracelet there are several ways to still display your gold charms and stay in fashion. Gold charms on these simple bracelets need to be carefully selected to keep the bracelet elegant and rich looking.

The single round link types of charm bracelets are very beautiful on their own and they don’t need a bunch of charms to distract from their appearance. Generally one larger style of gold charm can be featured on the bracelet and it can be of any style you enjoy. The heavier solid charms or the hollow charms are perfect either as pure gold or with gemstones or other accents. For many bracelets like this a toggle style clasp adds a bit of extra decoration.

Gold charms in groups of three or five are often the best option for a smaller number of charms. Too few charms will make the bracelet look unbalanced while odd numbered quantities are better with fewer charms.

Selecting these gold charms will be important since each one is going to be highlighted on the charm bracelet. Avoid a really heavy charm or one very light charm as this will cause the bracelet to look disjointed and also cause it to pull down over the heavier charms. When fewer gold charms are on the bracelet, heavier or larger gold charms are a good idea with a heavier bracelet. You can even opt for the longer, dangling styles of gold charms that are in balance with the chain type of the bracelet.

Smaller charms that are closer to the bracelet can also be a good match provided that the style of the charm bracelet is also smaller in size. A really large or wide charm bracelet with small gold charms may look out of balance.

Fewer charms gives you the option to really highlight particular gold charms that are meaningful to you. Each charm will be clearly visible and can tell as story about you, your interests and your life. Sticking to one theme of charm is also possible, but you certainly aren’t restricted to that.

Simple and elegant collections of gold charms on a single or double link style of gold charm bracelet is a great option for either daily wear or as that special bracelet to wear in the evening. These bracelets and gold charms can also be a great gift to give to a daughter or family member for them to add their own charms to at some point in the future.
