I've been putting together my charm bracelet for a long time now. I started with something far more generic many years ago and have slowly been replacing charms with custom made ones that mean something personal to me. I've always loved enamel and I adore color, so the bracelet is taking on a greater preponderance of both those things. I've decided I still have 2 more charms to go - maybe 3 - but I'm posting this now because I've been doing it for so long, I just want to share it at this point. The charms are almost all 18kt, while the few pre-made ones are mostly 14kt with one 18kt. It's *really* heavy - which I love - and very eye-catching. It's a great piece to wear with blue jeans and a white shirt.
great job and hope you wear it often!!I've been putting together my charm bracelet for a long time now.

The CAD of an inexpensive pendant in the making.

I was considering these several weeks ago and now they are here! Just posted in a necklace thread, but please bear with me as I re-copy it here:
I didn't think I was into charms, until I fell for these vintage 9ct gold ones. I am wearing these as individual pendants for now, but will likely wear them as layered individual pendants or a charm necklace or charm bracelet occasionally. Or perhaps even hang them from french hooks as mismatched earrings. They are small but ridiculously detailed. I'll let the photos do the talking...
I don't think I can ever afford a real Fabergé egg, so I'm overjoyed with this egg charm that opens! There's even a little bird inside!
This hour glass charm has real sand and works!
Here's a gypsy reading fortunes on her crystal ball:
Cage with a blue bird:
The marriage vow is written within and can be seen through the Stanhope lens:
Just to give you an idea how small they are (and I have fairly small hands with ring finger size 2.75):
Group shot with sentimental hand-me-down pendants from my mother and grandparents, which I have never worn, but may string together as a charm necklace now.
I didn't think I would be in here for awhile, but I so adore @CSpan 's emerald-licious stack, I decided to treat myself. Emerald is my birthstone too!
But since my job is on temporary hold, I'm doing layaway. I am thrilled to have this to look forward to. Her arrival will also be a sign that things are getting back to normal! At this point , normal sounds so good!

I found her on IG/Etsy. She's a Victorian conversion ring with 1.6 carats of OMCs, I through L color (exactly my sweet spot in terms of color). The hand in the third pic is the seller's.

K. My last 3 projects. I reset my sapphire into a 3 stone.
