While the vast majority of charm bracelets that you see today are metal styles made by jewelry manufacturers, there is still the possibility that you could create your own bracelet. These simple to very elaborate types of bracelets are perfect for collections of gold or silver charms and may also combine beads and even thread types of charms. Incorporating silver charms with other materials looks very casual but also trendy and chic, a sure fashion hit.

One very easy way to make a charm bracelet that is ideal for a variety of styles of silver charms is to use a simple piece of elastic thread or nylon beading thread. This thread should be slightly looser than your wrist size and allow you to slide it over your hand.

To the elastic or nylon fine cord you can add a variety of beads. Colored enamel, plastic or ceramic beads are a wonderful idea and will look dazzling against silver charms. You can also use silver beads for a very exotic look.

String any combination of beads onto the thread very loosely. Tie the two ends together using a non-slip style of knot and cut off any of the ends that extend from the knot. Silver charms or other types of charms including colorful threads and even beads can be tied directly to the elastic thread between the beads using the same type of fine cord or thread.

If you want to make a very natural looking bracelet you may wish to consider a cotton cord or hemp cord that can be plaited, woven or simply a single strand. These natural materials are a perfect match for silver charms.

Using sterling silver charms will add dazzle and shine to the bracelet while also reflecting the other colors of the bracelet. Since there is such as selection of styles of charms you can mix and match or stay with a particular motif or theme. Use ring clasps or split ring clasps to attach the charms to the heavier cord of the natural fabrics.

Toggle clasps can be tied to either end of the natural bracelet, providing a beautiful and very much in fashion type of closure. There is also the option to leave the ends long and simply loosely knot or tie the bracelet closed, using the ends of the cord as part of the overall design of the bracelet.

Making charm bracelets and providing a few silver charms to get started is a great way to give gifts year round. Of course your silver charms will also look terrific on a collection of your own style of charm bracelets and can be easily customized to match your wardrobe and style.
