Charms

Sterling Silver 925  is the quality of silver for a good charm bracelet. A good heavy chain link bracelet is the perfect bracelet for holding alot of sterling silver charms. Charms do however come in all different metals. There are Pewter charms too. Pewter charms that are made out of 100% lead free pewter. They are fine polished charms. They also make enamel coated charms now that are less expensive then the real silver brass, copper or gold.

One of my favorites is the candy charms, little lollipops and wrapped candies and ice cream cones. Just about any kinds of candy charms you like you can find here on Ebay.

Candy Charms

Silver Candy Charms

There are vintage charms, that go back to the late 1800's and up to the 1940's and reproductions of those old vintage charms. Either one is a nice addition to a new or old charm bracelet.

Vintage charms 

Here on Ebay you can find alot of vintage and antique charms, the price is much higher for these. The vintage charms are usually silver and have an aged look to them.

Antique Charms

Charm bracelets can be plain or plated silver or plated gold, here on Ebay we do have those charms too. They are nice for faddish jewelry or a young girl, who doesn't want to keep the bracelet for many many years.

Children's Charms 

Silver Children's Charms

Up above is a new charm I found. It is Tibetan Silver, a really nice antique finished silver at a reasonable price. This charm is adorable, it is a heart shape charm with "Made with Love" on it. Perfect for Necklaces for that special granddaughter, daughter or child in your life. It also makes an adorable charm for on a charm bracelet.

 

I found here on Ebay a site where you can find the cherished Monkey charms that all 8-9 year old girls just have to have. Also the enamel flip flop charms that are real popular with the little girls too.

They range in price from about $3.00 to $12.00 in price for sterling silver charms. $5.00 for six charms that are not sterling silver they are enamel over silver plating.

I like the idea of buying the six little girl charms for that price. I have a lot of granddaughters a great neice and neice and daughter that like these things so it's a good buy for me.

The Italian links bracelets with the sliding connections are really a teenager's favorite. They come in every charm you could want or think of. The cutest I have seen are the m&m's with the little m&m man on it. Adorable! We have those too here on Ebay. Just check out the links above and look for Candy!

Italian link sliding Charms

These Italian link sliding charms can be found on this link above here on Ebay.

Here on Ebay you can find thousands of charms in all diffent metals, sizes, and styles. We have a big variety of stores who carry nothing but charms.

Children's charms

These flip flop charms and the monkey charms are real popular with the preteen girls, also the young teen. They are very brightly colored and made from metal with enamel over the top, they usually come in about a 3/4" to 1" size. The little girl's wear them on charm bracelets or as necklaces but they can be used on backpacks and on zippers too.

  These jingle bells are the metal charms, they are brightly colored and used on both charm bracelets and for many different crafts. Little girl's charm bracelets are cute with these added. The craft use for these charm bells are endless.

The Southwestern Charms, are really popular too. They come in all styles of horses, from horse and jockey, to horses heads, horses heads on horseshoes, to hats, saddles cactus, and etc. This one pictured is an example of Pewter, finely polished, 100% lead free. They have about the same brillance and look of quality silver. These are esspecially brillant. They range differently in price, but go for less money then the silver. You can find them from .99 and up. The sizes can really vary from 1/2" to 1" is usual, but their are some that are as large as 2 inches. Usually with this size you will see the size mentioned, but you should still always ask if it isn't posted because sometimes they are that large.
