Star sign charms and charm bracelets

Charm bracelets and charms are now back in fashion (thanks Pandora!) so if you need to buy a gift and are struggling with some ideas a charm bracelet and/or some charms is one potential solution.

Charms are available with many different designs, and choosing the ideal one can be a bit of a mind Field. In fact, there are probably too many different designs to choose from and making that final decision can be overwhelming.

Fortunately, I have devised the fool proof plan in choosing the perfect charm and that is the recipient’s star sign. Everyone has a star sign, obviously, and some star sign related jewelry is always nice so why not buy a charm bracelet with zodiac design charm?


I spent a while looking for good tar sign charm bracelets and charms and, in all honesty the choice isn’t that great, however there are some really cool Chinese style star sign charms and charm bracelets available, as below:










I bought my wife one of the Chinese style star sign charm bracelets as a gift, and I have to say that I was impressed. I have to admit that I was a bit sceptical, given the low price, about the quality but when the jewelry turned up I was more than happy. I mean, I had a top quality product for a great price, and a happy wife. What more could I ask for? 

Each charm bracelet is available with a round or square charm so there is something for everyone. Simply click on the desired star sign to see the options available. When I ordered the star sign charm for my wife I noticed there were other items of sterling silver jewelry featuring an identical design. That’s right, I could buy a matching jewelry set consisting of rings, necklaces, pendants, lockets and belt buckles. I could even buy a matching jewelry box to keep all the jewelry organized and safe, which is pretty cool. 

With so many products that’s the next few Christmas and birthdays sorted out – hopefully there will be additional products added in the future. 

A Chinese style star sign charm bracelet and/or charm is the perfect gift for birthdays, Christmas, graduations, anniversaries or any other special occasion you can think of. Heck, maybe you want to buy a loved one an item of jewelry “just because....”

Cool Halloween Charm Bracelets & Charms

I bought a Pandora charm bracelet for my wife a couple of years back and whilst it is a really nice piece of jewelry (although it was over priced and I paid a huge premium for it) I do struggle buying her charms for it.
The Pandora collection of charms are, in my opinion, a bit boring and serious. Don’t get me wrong, they are nice, but they aren’t fun, quirky or original, and they are so damned expensive, which doesn’t make them goo value for money in my opinion.

With Halloween fast approaching I thought I would buy my wife a Halloween themed charm for her Pandora charm bracelet, although after a lot of searching in Pandora shops and online I struggled to find anything I remotely liked or anything my wife would like.

My wife is a bit, how can I say “quirky” and enjoys the lighter side of life. She likes nice jewelry and pretty jewelry but she also likes jewelry with a bit of character to it. Unfortunately, Pandora don’t seem to make quirky charms so I had to search elsewhere.

After a bit of time on the internet I stumbled across so interesting Halloween themed charms and charm bracelets that were just what I was looking for. Okay, the charms and charm bracelets weren’t made by Pandora and didn’t have the same “street cred” as Pandora jewlery but they were also a lot cheaper than Pandora charms even though they are made out of the same quality sterling silver Pandora charms are made from.

Some of the Halloween theme charms and charm bracelets are a bit off the wall and, in my opinion, a bit too much but they are cool nonetheless. Besides, there are many cool designs that even I would consider wearing.

Because of the price I took a punt on a couple of the charms and charm bracelets, they weren’t that expensive, and ordered them for my wife. When they were delivered I was impressed with the quality and I am surprised how the manufacturers make any profit on them at all. Then again, maybe Pandora is making super profits on each and every item of jewelry they sell. Makes you think a little, doesn’t it?

One thing I did notice about the Halloween charms was that the designs were also available on other pieces of sterling silver jewelry including rings, necklaces, pendants, lockets and belt buckles. There was even a jewelry box in which to keep everything safe and organized.. That’s right, I could buy my wife an entire set of matching jewelry if I wanted to. Pretty cool, no?


For your delight, I thought I would share a small sample of the Halloween themed charms including the two designs I ended up buying for my wife – can you guess what ones they are? Answers on a post card to...... only joking. But seriously, if you are looking for a Halloween charm and charm bracelet or some suitable Halloween themed jewelry to match your Halloween costume you may want to take a look at the following:












Each and every charm bracelet is available with both round and square charms - click on the design you like to see the options available. Similarly, if you want to see all the items of jewelry the designs are on click on the design and you will be given the option. 

Okay, so the charms above are not made by Pandora but they are very good nonetheless and both my wife and I are very impressed with them. Besides, they are something a little quirky and different to the norm which is pretty cool.
