A charm bracelet is a chain or bangle to which charms are added to tell a story: trips, births, hobbies. It is a jewel that grows with its wearer.

## Types

- **Link chains with rings** for hanging loose charms.
- **Beaded strings** (Pandora type), with beads and stoppers.
- **Clasp charms:** charms that screw or clip on.

## How to combine them

Spread the charms in balance and use stoppers so they do not shift. Choose a common metal and vary the colors with enamel or stones.

## How many

An 18 cm bracelet takes between 8 and 14 charms without looking overloaded.

## Care

Clean with lukewarm water and a soft brush; check the charms' rings because they can open with use ([repairing a chain](https://www.711grados.com/en/how-to-fix-a-broken-chain/)).
