Bead charms are one of the original forms of bead jewelry. The charm bracelet is a very popular item for women of all ages. It is a way of expressing your personality with personalized charms. Classic charm bracelets consist of a chain with charms attached by jump rings. The charms hang down from the chain, and swing and jangle together. However, bead charms have holes so they can be threaded on to the chain, and become more of an integral part of the bracelet.

Beads can be made of a number of different materials, from metals to glass. Most are carved or molded in to a specific shape. They are usually larger than most other beads, as well as having more intricate patterns. They are often used as the main piece in pendants or necklaces, and charm bracelets are often made entirely of this type of bead.

metal bead charms

The most popular metal to use to create charm beads is sterling silver. This beautiful metal brings a touch of class to your charm bracelet. In Bali, the talented silver smiths make highly intricate designs, using their granulation and wire work technique. The designs on these beads are highlighted with oxidization, and look great when attached to an oxidized sterling silver chain.

Stainless steel can also be used to create beads, as an inexpensive alternative to sterling silver. However, this metal is not as versatile as silver, and has more of a grey look to it. Brass and bronze can be used to bring a golden color to the beads. These can be strung on bronze or brass chains, and combined with wood or glass beads for a very unique look.

All metal beads can be highlighted with enamel or resin, which can be painted in to indented patterns in the metal. Black enamel painted on to a bronze charm bead looks particularly stunning. Bright pastel colors can be used effectively with sterling silver. Children find these more colorful beads very appealing.

glass beads

Glass is a very versatile material that can be hand blown to create unique pieces, or mass produced for more generic looking styles. These bring vibrant colors to your charm bracelet and can be used in combination with sterling silver or other metal beads. The translucent quality of the glass contrasts beautifully with the density of the metal.

Glass can be created using any combination of colors, making for interesting patterns and shapes. These can bring a unique twist to an all metal bracelet. One glass bead can be used in the center of the piece as a single highlight, or several can be interspersed through the bracelet to create a pattern.

how to create bead charm jewelry

Traditionally, a piece of bead charm jewelry is based around a metal chain. The metal that you choose for the chain should match with the beads that you are planning to use. Sterling silver beads should be used with a sterling silver chain. Glass charm beads can be used with any metal. This chain should have a small clasp mechanism, which the charm beads can be slipped over.

The length of the chain should be between seven to eight inches for a bracelet, and sixteen to eighteen inches for a necklace. A small length of adjuster chain can be added to allow for adjustments.

Once you have the base of the bracelet prepared, all you need to do is thread the charm beads on and create any kind of pattern that you like. The beauty of these beads is that you can change the pattern whenever you feel like it. This will appeal to those that love to be creative and to change their look.
