How to Make a Gold Charm Bracelet

Charm bracelets are fun to create because they are personal

Creating your own gold charm bracelet is a fun job that will give you a piece of jewelry that you will love to wear because you created it and it is personal to you. Unless you are a goldsmith creating a gold charm bracelet from the very beginning will be difficult, but you can create one by selecting the charms that go onto the gold charm bracelet, which is just as fun.

Things You'll Need

• Gold charm bracelet
• Charms

Instructions

1. Purchase a gold charm bracelet that is the correct size for your wrist. You do not want to get one that is too tight or loose otherwise, your charms will be in your hand or cutting off your circulation. You want something that is just loose enough that you can stick the tip of your finger between the bracelet and your wrist without pinching it. If you are going to be attaching the charms directly to the bracelet then you should consider looking for a chain link bracelet.

2. Look at local jewelry kiosks as well as online for charms that you like. Keep in mind that it can be a long process choosing charms because you want them to be personal to you and have a special meaning. Most commonly, people choose things that say something about them like a kitten or their birthstone or letters to spell their name.

3. Attach all charms facing the same direction. There should be a little O ring on them that opens and closes so you can attach the charm to the bracelet. Other charms come on a ring that looks like a keyring. You want to make sure that they face one direction so that you can show off your charms when someone asks.

Tips & Warnings

• As a general rule, you do not want charms that are larger than a quarter. You will not be able to put as many charms on your bracelet and they will become heavy and cumbersome.
