What Are Italian Charm Bracelets?
Italian charm bracelets are similar to the traditional charm bracelets that you probably know, but they have a very different look about them. The similarity is that you can purchase charms in any design you want and really personalize an Italian charm bracelet. You can also have charms engraved or add photos to them, just like with traditional charms.
The difference about Italian charm bracelets is their unique look and versatility. An Italian charm bracelet is a link bracelet, similar to a link watchband. The charms are flat tiles that can be added to the links of the bracelet, and on the tiles are the charms. For example, you can get a silver tile with a gold heart on it, or a gold tile with a red rose on it.
The tiles can be engraved to further personalize them. You might consider a larger center tile with your initials engraved into it, and then the object tiles surrounding it. You might have one letter engraved onto each of several charms and arrange them so that it reads a name or series of names or an “I love you” message.
The versatility of Italian charm bracelets is that they can be altered and made to look exactly how you want them to look. You can have a single band with several charms or you can connect the bands to make a wider bracelet with many more charms. The bands can be connected by large charms, which is a nice look, or even by a watch face. You can make a personalized charm bracelet watch! This is great news for those women who collect watches the way others collect shoes and handbags.
Italian charm bracelets start with a base bracelet. The base is the blank links that the charms will be added to. Bases links come in different styles and links can be added or removed to adjust for size. It would be a good idea to go online and look at different styles of Italian charm bracelets to see which base you like the best before you purchase your Italian charm bracelet.
Italian charm bracelets are a fairly new concept in the United States and are still difficult to find at retail stores. Once they catch on and retailers realize what they are missing out on by not carrying Italian charm bracelets, you can bet you will see them scurrying to be the first to offer them in your area.
Right now you will have much better luck finding Italian charm bracelets for sale on the internet. There are retailers online who will not only sell you the parts to build an Italian charm bracelet, but they will build the bracelet for you, too. So now you have no excuse, go ahead and start shopping for your Italian charm bracelet.
