Build your own charm bracelet?

When I was getting married in 2006 I came across a website where you could make/build your own silver charm bracelet. I ordered a couple as presents b/maids gifts.

Anway it's the mil 50th coming up and she commented on how nice they were. They were a really good price at the time and Im hoping to get her one but of course I cant find the website.

Can anyone suggest a site as Im hoping it could be the one.

Many thanks

    Hi Ella

    You can get all the bits you need to make a charm bracelet on ebay. Just search for charms, toggle fastener and charm bracelet or curb chain, you'll also need some jump rings to attach the charms to the bracelet. Am assuming when you say make up your own, you do mean make at home!

    HI there, On this web site you could chose the bracelet you wanted and then add on the individual chrams, you could chose however many or few that you wanted. There were hundreads of silver charms to chose from. Once you had picked what you wanted it would be sent to you in a lovely gift box already made.

    Thank you for your response x

    My Mum has just bought me a Tiffany charm bracelet, it's very clever because each link opens so the charms can be easily added and removed. Tiffany is expensive though so it'll take me a long time to fill it with the charms! (I've got one adorable Tiffany blue gift box on it for now but I hope to add more!).

    As a slightly cheaper option I've been lusting over Thomas Sabo charms, they're very cute and quirky and come in little sets so you can have a theme to your bracelet. I found a good selection at xenjewellerydesign.co.uk, I think it depends on your MIL's taste as to whether or not she'll like it though!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Just to clarify: You don't mean Italian charm bracelets, do you?
    That is what I have

    Like these:

    No It's not any of the above site's but thank you very much for posting them, The whole bracelet including about 6-8 charms cost me about £25. Not alot of money for a bracelet but the quality and charms were fantastic. I paid via paypal when I bought them but can find the transactions on my paypal anymore!

    theres a company called stickyj.com or sticky jewllery that sell many different things that can be engraved.

    they have little envelope bracelets that have inserts that can be engraved.

    they come from the states and are very nice and reasonabley priced. i got my two daughters there medical bracelets from them

    I have a Pandora charm bracelet, think it's different from all the ones suggested so far! Similar types are Love Links, was that the sort of thing?
  • Thanks for this thread. It gives me some more ideas to blog about. :T
