chain acquired will depend on the age and preference of the wearer. A length of 6″ is suitable for a baby or small child, a young girl would be better wearing a 7″ bracelet and for adults there are bracelets made in 8″ and 9″ sizes. A bracelet can always be adjusted at a later date, for instance if someone has received one as a baby, when they reach adulthood and want to wear that bracelet, they can take it to a reputable jeweller and have additional links attached. Conversely, should someone inherit a charm bracelet and find it is too long, a good jeweller can always remove links to ensure an appropriate fit.
Not all charm bracelets are worn on the wrist; there is a penchant for wearing one on the ankle. Italian pre-loaded charm bracelets are ideal for this purpose as they are light in weight and can be obtained with all of the charms in place, usually having a uniform appearance due to the charms being of one or two types, evenly spaced around the chain.
So if you are going to buy a special gift for that very special “lady” in your life – even if you are buying it for yourself – there are many choices to make. Is it going to worn on the wrist or ankle? Should it be pre-loaded with charms or be open to evolve with the wearers journey through life? Do you obtain a silver, platinum or 14k gold charm bracelet? Which charm would make the best starter charm? What size would be appropriate right now?
Whatever your choice, this timeless piece of collectible jewellery will never cease to delight.
