Simply Charming
by Virginia Barrera
Those of you, who get complimented on your charming personality frequently, can let that trait shine through in a cute necklace, bracelet or anklet using our beautiful Austrian Crystal Charms.
Charmed Jewelry has got to be one of my favorites because of its versatility. Whether you are going for a classy look or business casual, this type of jewelry fits all occasions.
Using jump rings you can easily connect lobster clasps to your charms so that you can add or take away as many charms as you want. Be creative, make your own chain. Use 18 or 20 gauge Artistic Wire to create components that link together. Make a jewelry design with a single pendant or with dangles galore.
Adding charms to your design also has a way of telling a story about your personality. Show your loving side with a heart or your delicate side with a flower. In the April issue of "InStyle", the Eco-Drive ad showcases a fun gold bracelet with shoe charms. This design undoubtedly shows the love of shoe shopping that all women seem to possess.
With charms you don't only have to stick to jewelry. You can put them on purses, belts and key chains. So this month add character to everything in your own charming way.
