For sparkle your special someone will always have right at hand, give a thoughtfully selected gold charm.
Gold charms strike just the right balance between formal and informal. Versatile and charming, they make the perfect gift for any occasion, from birthdays to holidays, workplace appreciation to Valentine’s Day. Bracelets can be as friendly or as romantic as you like. Whether you go over the top with precious stones or choose funky charms, your gift is sure to be appreciated for the thought behind it.
Gold charms can be found to fit any budget, from a few dollars to several hundred. If you want to be certain of the quality of the piece look for a starting price around $50.
When making your selection, consider these features in order to select the perfect present:
Precious metals: First you’ll want to notice the type of jewelry your special someone wears. Is yellow or white gold the order of the day? Some people are especially selective when it comes to precious metals, so find this out before your purchase. When all else fails, ask someone close to the recipient what they would prefer.
Necklace or Bracelet: Bracelets come in all different lengths, from those fitting very slim wrists to wrap-arounds that circle a wrist multiple times. Necklaces come in all lengths as well, from the currently popular choker to a more dramatic, longer chain. Again, observing the kinds of jewelry the recipient wears regularly can give you clues as to what they will like best. The clasp is something to consider as well. We’ve come a long way from the complicated clasps of yesteryear. Today, there are many options that are both beautiful and easy to fasten with one hand. Some slide in and snap; others resemble a bar that, when passed through a large loop, hold the bracelet or necklace together elegantly. Lobster claw clasps that open when a small tab is pulled back are also popular, and the best are both sturdy and easy to manipulate. Be sure to try the clasp on yourself to determine the ease of use.
Charm Bracelets. One thing to consider if the recipient doesn’t already own one is a charm bracelet. If not, they may enjoy having a piece they can add to in the years to come – and it gives you something you (and others) can always get them as a gift in the future! Combining a meaningful first charm with a charm bracelet can lend special significance to the gift as well.
Sets. You might also consider purchasing a necklace/earring/bracelet ensemble. These jewelry sets, where the pieces match in style or materials, provide many fashion options for the recipient. They can mix and match gold charms as they like, to complement every outfit. Pieces that don’t match exactly but that harmonize with color or design make an impressive gift as well. Who wouldn’t want to receive more than one piece of jewelry for a special occasion?
Choosing the Charm
Now that you know what to look for, you’ll find the best part about giving gold charms is the shopping. This is the fun part where you get to find the charm that will reflect the wearer, or the occasion it’s being given, the best. The possibilities are virtually endless, so you’re sure to find something just right. You may even find one for another special someone—yourself!
