Sterling Silver bracelet for charms

[Silver Ruby]

Hi everyone,

Can anyone help?

I'm looking for Sterling Silver bracelets suitable for charms.

Can anyone suggest a good site for these? (preferably UK)

Thanks,

Hi Fiona,


I know PJ Minerals do one, but I feel it's quite expensive compared to their other silver stuff. May be worth a look though.

Ive been buying them form international craft.Annoyingly tho you have to put in an order of £25+ each time.

Hows it going rube, did you find what your after?

[Silver Ruby]

Hi Seahorse,

Managed to find one on auction in eBay (not as many there as I thought).

So just managed to get it cheaper than buying from a site!

But if I need other ones in the future, then I'll have to find the cheapest place to get them from.

Thanks for asking!

have you thought about making your own chain, you can buy the jump rings or kits from

www.maillequeen.co.uk

that way you can choose which style of bracelet you want, it many not be your cup of tea but i thought you might like a look,

and here's some information on the different weaves

Are charm bracelets different to normal link bracelets?!
I have bought what i consider a normal chain bracelet and put charms on it, I just swung it around and nothing broke.
Just wondered if charm bracelets were stronger or different in some way?

[carolinemhannon]

not from the ones i've seen, on the ones that are sold as charm bracelets the links seem to be larger so you can add loads of charms

i prefer the more delicate ones with less charms on, i guess the chain you use depends on the final look your going for

[Seahorse]

Phew, I thought i was doing it all wrong.

[carolinemhannon]

hehehe, it's not you

i think some people call them charm bracelets so people know there suitable for hanging charms from

as long as the chain will hold the weight of the charms then it's suitable, personally i think different types of chain look good with different types of charms, for example, smaller charms look good on more delicate chains where as chunkier larger charms look better on more sturdy chunk chains

as i said before it all depends on the type of look your going for

925express have some relatively cheap and sturdy sterling silver charm bracelets. They are a US site, but they do not charge much for shipping ($13.50, which is about £7.10). Their cheapest charm bracelet costs $4.91 (£2.60). Hope this helps someone.

If anyone has found any cheapish sts charm bracelets in the UK, I would also be interested to know.
