Charm bracelets have long been used as milestone celebrators.
With each passing memory – be it turning 18, getting a degree, moving into your very own home or becoming a pet owner, significant life moments can be commemorated with delicate, stylish jewellery.
While the last decade saw necklaces reign supreme within the world of jewellery, we may just have Taylor Swift to thank for the return of beaded and bejewelled wrist stackers. Previously, It-girls and guys would be remiss to be seen out and about without a series of expertly layered necklaces which seem to rather magically remain untangled. But these golden, Grecian coins and astrological engravements have been replaced by oversized, chunky beaded numbers which appeal to our inner tween.
Charm bracelets are back and better than ever – offering a customisable and highly personal means of self-decoration with a distinct Nineties and Noughties flair.
Italian charm bracelets beloved by Nineties babies are making a comeback thanks to TikTok, but jewellery enthusiasts of all ages remain sceptical over the comfort of these stretchy steel wrist adornments, which are known to catch and pinch minuscule arm hairs. If that’s the price you’d like to pay for unique and vintage-inspired adornments, there’s no judgment here.
Charm bracelets don’t necessarily need to be uber meaningful either. A selection of bohemian beads may simply reflect your preferred aesthetic and personality. If, no matter the charm bracelet comeback, you’re simply a necklace person through and through – consider charm connectors.
Versatile and oftentimes featured at high-end jewellery stores, gold, silver and plated charm connectors can be hooked onto necklaces or used as a clever means to stack additional charms onto your already overcrowded bracelet.
Without further ado, we’ve curated a selection of the best charm bracelets on the market for a perfectly personalised piece of jewellery.
