Embellish Jewelry With Sterling Silver Charms

By Mattie Knight


Life is filled with experiences that can impact a person on such a deeply sentimental level that they desire to mark it in a physical manner. This may mean using various items such as scrapbooks, certificates, statuary, trophies, photographs and other things as a way to mark the occasion. Adding sterling silver charms to jewelry is a very popular option chosen by many individuals.

Jewelry is a popular choice partly because people wear it all the time, but also because there are numerous options from which to choose. Rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets and brooches are often used as symbolic representation of various occasions. Embellishments can be added to make a favorite piece into a truly personal treasure.

Each particular type of jewelry has countless variations and styles available. This allows an individual endless possibilities when it comes to personalizing the piece. Each decision on things like thickness, size, color, material, embellishment and finish can make a huge impact on the effectiveness of the item as a whole.

Charm embellishments have been used as mementos of special times, places, people, events and memories for hundreds of years and in cultures all around the world. They can be made of many materials including precious metals, stainless steel, plastic, crystal, glass, stone and wood. This particular choice will depend on a variety of factors such as what type of jewelry it will be attached to, how big it should be and most of all, personal preference.

There are really no limits on what these dangling trinkets can look like. Sometimes they are simple geometric shapes like circles, squares, stars, triangles or rectangles and can be very small or considerably large. Quite often when using these basic forms, people may opt to have names, dates, quotes or other notations engraved or embossed on the piece.

Many times, people are seeking a more literal representation of their special subject, and in this manner, things can get quite creative. For example, to mark the occasion of baby learning to walk, one might select the form of a tiny shoe, a dancer or slipper for ballet, a mortar board for graduation, or perhaps a cross to stand for a religious milestone. The possibilities are limited only by one's imagination and the jeweler's ability.

It may seem that gemstones dangling from a chain would be an overly simple embellishment choice, but they can be incredibly symbolic. People often use them to represent families, to mark a child's or grandchild's birth, marriages and as tributes to close loved ones that have died. Versatility comes in that they can be done in different cuts and placed in settings ranging from understated to elaborate, and they could be made of plastic, crystal or genuine elements.

When it comes to the many styles of embellishments one may hang from an accessory such as a necklace, bracelet, anklet, ring or pin, the possibilities are innumerable. The biggest factors in deciding what to choose are going to be what one wants to symbolize and how they wish to do so. From size to material, color to shape, an individual can surely find, or design the perfect token to serve their purpose.
