How an Italian charm bracelet works
You start with a base bracelet made of links. Each new charm replaces or joins a link, so the bracelet grows as you add more. Many people start with six to ten links and add more later.
What you can put on one
Italian charms are popular for initials and names, one letter per link. You can also add hearts, stars, symbols and colours that mean something to you, such as a birth month or a favourite colour.
Italian charms vs normal charms
Normal charms hang from a chain or bracelet on a small ring. Italian charms sit flat in a row and form the bracelet itself. They are a good choice if you like a neat, flat look and want to spell something out.
A gift that grows
An Italian charm bracelet is a good present because it can be added to later. Start with a few links, then add a new charm for each birthday or special moment.
