How to build a charm bracelet

4 min read · Petal Charms

A charm bracelet tells a story, and the sweet part is that you add to it as you go.

Here is how to begin without feeling overwhelmed.

Start with the bracelet

Our link chain bracelet is a stainless steel chain with a lobster clasp and an adjustable length, about 6.5 in plus a 2 in extender. It stacks with other bracelets, and it is a good partner for charms from the starter set.

Check your wrist with the measuring guide so it fits well.

Add your first charm

Choose a charm that means something, like your birth flower or the flower of someone you love. The Birth Flower Charm comes as a pair, so you can keep one and share the other.

Add one charm at a time. A new charm for a birthday or a trip makes the bracelet personal.

Keep it balanced

Space the charms out so they have room to move. Mix sizes if you like, but leave a little chain showing.

When you want to try more at once, the charm bar starter set has a bracelet and about five charms.

Take your time

There is no rush to fill the chain. Many people add a charm every few months, so each one has a memory attached. Keep the clasp closed when you store the bracelet, and wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing. Write down the date you added each charm, if you like.
