Charms for Charm Bracelets – Is Bigger Always Better?

Although many of the charm bracelets that are commonly seen in fashion shows and in jewelry displays are rather elaborate, there are other options as well. Since many women prefer the simple elegance of gold charm bracelets and three to five gold charms, there are actually lots of different options as to how many or how few charms are displayed.

Perhaps the simplest option for gold charm bracelets is the very elegant single link style of bracelet with one very dramatic type of charm. This can include the larger gold charms that are either solid, hollow or flat, with or without accent gems or designs. Toggle style clasps can also add to the design without distracting from the style of the bracelet.

If you are only wanting a small number of gold charms, stick to odd numbers of three or five charms on the bracelet. This will keep it looking balanced but also allow you to evenly space them around the chain.

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. With fewer gold charms, going for slightly larger and more solid looking charms is a good idea. Longer dangling or hanging charms can be a great idea as they will add to the overall size of the bracelet without being overwhelming.

The other option is to go with smaller sizes of gold charms that are linked closer to the bracelet. Typically the smaller the charms are on the bracelet the finer the charm bracelet’s chain should be to stay in balance. Heavy bracelets with delicate charms may appear a bit uncoordinated.

Small numbers of charms allow you to pick and highlight which gold charms you love the most. These charms are a way to tell people about what is important in your life and with just a few on the bracelet they are all sure to be easily seen.

Keeping your gold charm bracelet with a minimal amount of charms is perfectly acceptable and makes a wonderful way to show off your gold charms. These smaller bracelets are great to wear to the workplace or during the day, but they can also double up for evening wear as well. This style of bracelet is perfect for a gift, allowing the person to add her own charms as she develops her collection.
