If you love to shop for accessories and pair them with your favorite outfits, you’re far from alone. In fact, 69% of women spend over $100 a year on accessories like necklaces, rings, and bracelets. This number is staggering, especially since it’s at the low end of what’s spent. Roughly 27% of women spend over $300.
One of the best ways to express yourself through jewelry is by using charm bracelets. They’re fashionable, funky, go with any outfit, and leave room for you to express your individuality.
Even when you know you want to put one of these awesome accessories around your wrist, it’s a fun challenge to choose the right way to assemble your perfect bracelet. We’re here to help! Read on for essential tips on how to accessorize with charm bracelets.
Select the Right Style
The first and most important thing to consider when selecting a charm bracelet is that you’ll need a basic style you love. Before you can start choosing charms, you’ll need to look into current accessory trends and decide what’s best for your unique style and personality.
One of the greatest jewelry trends of 2019 going into the new decade is rose gold. This super popular metal looks high class and shines with a unique hue of pinkish gold. It’s unique, much like each and every woman who wears it. If you want a great way to express individuality, rose gold may be right for you.
Match Your Wardrobe
The pink tinge of rose gold is in no way the only way to go, though. Classic sterling silver matches basically anything, which is essential to accessorizing properly.
When selecting a style for your charm bracelet, it’s crucial to think of what matches the rest of your wardrobe. While it’s good to pair different styles of jewelry and varying metals together, you want to make sure that no part of your outfit is clashing.
This means that a blue charm bracelet should perhaps not be work with a hot pink blazer. On the other hand, a pale pink or red bracelet would really make the outfit stand out. You’re going to want to think about the colors and styles you wear most often before making a selection.
Incorporate Your Interests
There are such a wide variety of charms out there that choosing the right ones can be overwhelming. Once you push these feelings of anxiety away, however, choosing how to accessorize with charms can be one of the most fun things you’ve ever done.
Individualize your charm bracelet by including your favorite colors. You can find charms in pretty much all styles, so get one shaped like a favorite animal or one that symbolizes the place you most love in the world.
If you love DIY crafts, you can create charms for your bracelet all on your own! Recycled materials can be beautiful if you give them the chance, and they cost nothing to experiment with. You can also use shells you found on the beach or pebbles from your local nature preserve to give your bracelet a personal flair.
Seasonal Sensations
With the winter holidays on the way, it’s doubtless that you’re on the lookout for new ways to show off your holiday spirit. There are so many charms you can choose from if you want to use your charm bracelet to express your love for the season.
Snowflakes are perfect for charm bracelets because they can have a variety of colored stones embedded into them. Their shapes also go with basically any other charm on the market. If you’re looking to express the holiday that you celebrate, there are also Santa charms and tiny menorahs that you can look into purchasing.
The best thing about this is that you can remove them at the end of the season and bring them back easily next year!
Make It Mean Something
No matter what you do with charm bracelet styles, it’s crucial that you create something that’s deeply meaningful to you as a person. This could mean incorporating a piece of sea glass that you and your partner found on the beach, or it could mean including a charm your mother gave you for a birthday.
Infusing meaning into your bracelet could also mean using stone symbolism. Many believe that different stones and charms carry certain energies. These energies can make you feel calm and at peace, energetic and excited, or motivated. Look into getting a positivity stone bracelet to improve your life a little each day.
Pair With a Loved One
Another way to infuse meaning into your charm bracelet is to match styles with a loved one. Whether you want to express love for your sister, best friend, or romantic partner, there are styles out there that will let you show the world the connection between the two of you.
Charm bracelets are heavily personal. This makes them really thoughtful presents on occasions like anniversaries and birthdays. Choose the charms that you think your loved one will connect with and choose those that you do. Match the styles and voila!
You’re never too old for friendship bracelets, so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
