Full Details
Shopping for silver charms and gold charms couldn't be easier when you
have the choice of so many charm styles in the precious metal of your
choice, with the fitting that suits you.
The complete range of our precious metal traditional charms on sale in
our jewellery store are made to order in Australia. Our gold charms and silver charms are also suitable for using as a pendant on your necklace, just order them with a closed jump ring.
With a range of over 4600, each available in yellow gold, rose gold,
white gold and
sterling silver we can't hold one of
each in stock so they are hand cast to order in Australia from locally mined and
recycled gold and silver.
When you buy charms online from Fraser Ross you can rest assured they are
great quality and guaranteed to meet or exceed your expectations. You also
have the choice of the finding (fitting) to be supplied to suit existing on
new charm bracelets, or you can even wear them as earrings by selecting a
shepherd's hook instead of a jump ring, link-lock or parrot clasp.
Why buy a charm bracelet?
A charm bracelet isn't just a beautiful piece of jewellery.
The real joy in wearing a charm bracelet is always having with you, a
small diary of all the major events and achievements you have experienced so
far in your life.
Like a paper diary, you keep adding pages filled with the
memories you hold most dear. It's a time capsule unburied, an open diary and
a stunning statement of what you love and do.
So many choices
Our full range of Australian made sterling silver
charms and solid gold charms
for charm bracelets are available in a range of fittings.
You may choose open or closed jump rings, a parrot clasp or link locks. All
of our traditional charms are available in sterling silver, yellow gold and rose gold. Choose
either large or small hooks and turn any of our charms into earrings (order
2 for a pair)
When
you buy charms online here, you can also choose a gold bracelet chain with your
charms, and we can create a
finished charm bracelet to your design.
Buying gold charms for a bracelet
Where is the best place to buy gold charms online for women and girls? Here
at Chain Me Up of course.
Aside from gold charms, we also stock a great range of
sterling silver charms, bracelet chains and matching findings.
We have a great range
of around 4600 different styles of charms - the largest selection of
traditional sterling
silver charms, yellow gold charms, rose gold charms and white gold charms in Australia.
We specialise in bespoke charm jewellery and charm
bracelets, like no other store.
Rather than selling cheap gold charms or
cheap silver charms, we sell great quality jewellery at great prices.
Cheap and
inexpensive are two very different things, the first implies a lack of quality
consummate with the price, and the second, good value for money on a great
product.
We have broken down our range into categories such as babies,
Australiana, sport etc. Not all of our charms are found in these sections as we
haven't updated their photos yet. Wedding charms can be found in the 'love'
category.
Tarnish Resistant Charms
In February 2015 we added another 900 anti-tarnish charms
to our range bringing the total number of designs to more than 4600.
These are
made from a new alloy of sterling silver, where a small amount of copper is
replaced with germanium. There are several brand names of similar tarnish
resistant alloys, Argentium being the most widely known and promoted.
Argentium charms are highly resistant to tarnishing and are much less
susceptible to firescale during manufacture. Visually, they look identical
to a charm made from 'standard' sterling silver. Read more about
tarnish resistant sterling silver.
These charms have a product code similar to (chtr-xxxxxx) and are
available in 9ct yellow/rose/white gold as well as tarnish resistant
sterling silver. By request we can also supply these charms in 14ct/18ct
yellow/rose/white gold and 22ct yellow gold.
Handmade Charms
Each and every charm we sell in our online store is handmade. Charms are
produced using the lost wax method of casting; this means we can create any
charm in silver or gold.
Nearly every charm is hallmarked 9ct gold or 925 sterling silver. A few charms
use the same mould for both silver and gold castings or may be too small to
stamp, so they may not have a
hallmark. In spite of this, they are absolutely
guaranteed to be genuine, and perfect for matching with silver or gold charm
bracelets of the same quality.
We are in the (long, slow) process of taking
new photos of our HR charm range. Save 40% on
charms for sale with photos we haven't updated yet.
Charm Fittings (findings)
How do I choose which fitting to use? An often asked question. (detailed
info here) The price is updated automatically when you select the desired
finding.
Open jump rings are used when you already have silver or gold
charm bracelets and you want to add some more charms. A jeweller should solder
them closed for you.
Closed jump rings allow you to wear our charms as a
small pendant on your necklace. You should also choose this option if we are
creating a charm bracelet for you (our jeweller charges us to fit each charm).
Parrot clasps allow you to clip your charms on and off. You can move them around
on a bracelet or move them to another.
Link Locks are used to permanently
connect your charms to an existing bracelet without visiting a jeweller. These
are great if you are buying only a couple of charms. (it may be cheaper to pay a
jeweller if you are having several new charms fitted).
Pandora® charm bracelets are a 4.5mm diameter snake chain and have
been designed for bead style Pandora® charms. To fit any of our
traditional charms to these snake bracelets, you can choose a slider as the
fitting.
Charm Bracelets
Many of our customers have bought a bracelet chain and a selection of charms
to create their own unique charm bracelet.
We will arrange the charms in the
order you specify if you leave a detailed note in the checkout or send us an
email expressing your wishes.
If you choose to leave it to us, we will arrange
your charms evenly around the chain, as our jeweller decides would look best.
Heart padlocks make a great replacement for a parrot clasp.
Bracelets for children are
discussed here. (You wouldn't want them to outgrow a beautiful piece of
jewellery.)
Baby charm bracelets are becoming very popular and again the same
rules apply here as they do for older children.
Gift Boxes
If you are shopping for a present then one of our gift boxes makes a great
finishing touch. The premium gift boxes are soft padded leatherette with padded
inserts. They also have fixtures for beautifully displaying your purchase when
the box is opened. A nice touch for someone you love.
