For many, charm bracelets are not just a piece of jewelry. Charms may signify a milestone in your life, or a period of happiness. Certain charms are also very stylish and "in." The steps below will help you choose charms for your charm bracelet.

Instructions

Step 1
Choose a charm that complements your bracelet. Many charm bracelets have a theme. If your bracelet is inspired by an era of fashion, a child’s birth or milestone in your life, choose charms that continue that theme.
If your bracelet is inspired by moments and memories, choose charms that closely resemble the emotions you felt.

Step 2
Check jewelry catalogs for ideas. Many times we have a particular charm in mind and get upset when we can't find the exact match. Jewelry catalogs, both paper and online, will give you a clue of what charms may resemble your idea of the “perfect” charm.

Step 3
Size is everything! Consider taking your charm bracelet to the jeweler when purchasing an additional charm. You want it to be a perfect fit.

Step 4
Choose charms with color. There are a variety of colorful charms to choose from. Try a charm that has 1 or 2 brilliant colors. This will make your bracelet stand out.

Step 5
Choose charms with jewels. Diamonds are fabulous! Choose a nice diamond charm. Rubies, sapphire and onyx are also great gemstones. Dare to be different.

Step 6
Spruce things up with enamel charms! The wonderful thing about enamel charms is that they bring life to your bracelet. Try a colorful enamel charm for fun!

Step 7
Choose an AIDS or Cancer Awareness charm. These charms are not only attractive, they are also a representation of something meaningful and worthy of recognition. Go out and support a cause!

Step 8
Go vintage! Vintage charms are fabulous because they are one of a kind.
