Charm Factory Beaded Bracelet

March Aquamarine Bracelet from Charm Factory

  Any of you lovelies ever purchased or heard of Charm Factory? I'd love to hear about it! Here I have the Aquamarine Charm Bracelet. Aquamarine is March's birthstone. Guess what month my B-day is in? You did guess March, right? Wrong! Ha Ha. It's actually in February. I just happened to like the Aquamarine color better than my birthstone which is Amethyst or purple. Lol. 

I love purple, it's my second favorite color. Guess what my first favorite color is? You did guess Aquamarine, right? Wrong again! Ha. Ha. This is too fun. OK, my first favorite is actually pink. I just had to tease for a second. Now, let me get on track.
A close up of the beads and chain.
Charm Factory carries the most beautiful charms, beads and bracelets! If you were nice enough to actually look at the photo, you can see that the Aquamarine Charm Bracelet comes with 3 aquamarine glass beads and 4 other silver beads. Each silver bead is different and beautiful. One looks sort of like a spring, I happen to love that one. One has a heart looking design, the other has a striped like design and the 4th one is a funny textured bead shaped in an oval... kind of. Just look closely at the photos, they'll explain a heck of a lot better than I do! Lol. All the beads have a gorgeous look to them.


 The chain is Silver Plated Brass. It is gorgeous! It's not like a regular, plain old chain, but very pretty. Again, you'll have to look at the photos to know what I'm saying. The Charm Bracelet is lead & nickel free with pewter glass. I don't know if you can see this or not, but the holes where the glass aquamarine beads are slid onto the chain are silver. This adds a beautiful, elegant look to the charms. Beads are stamped with 9.25 sterling silver. They come in a box like most jewelry making this even more perfect for gifting.
You'll also notice that the bracelet isn't totally full. There's good reason for that. Charm Factory offers many different jewelry options, but the charm bracelets come with these few beads shown that way you can select other beads from the site and add your own personal touch to your bracelet. I must say, these make stunning gifts! I've not yet purchased more beads to add to mine, but I plan to. You can always just purchase the charm bracelets and leave them as is since they are still gorgeous that way, but for the great prices, you can decide to add more any time. Another idea is to select several different colors and styles that way you can switch out the beads and have a 2-in-1 kind of deal. You could select aqua and silver and another color, say clear. Then one day you could wear only the aqua and silver and the next you could add the other color. You get what I'm saying? Neat idea!

I really fell for the Aqua Marine Charm Bracelet. I love the bold color of these beads. I'm a sucker for this color when it comes to jewelry and my clothing. When I make my own jewelry I somehow always manage to add this color. It's also a color that goes well with almost any clothing you're wearing. The Charm  Bracelets can be bought in any birthstone color. This also makes me think birthday gift!  

The ends of the chain have a little... doo-dad? I know, I'm terrible with explanations. It's a pretty little thing (just look at the photo) and on the opposite end of the clasp, this doo-dad screws off. This makes adding more charms to your bracelet easier. 

This particular charm bracelet is 7 1/2. My wrist is super tiny though so it is a little loose. It doesn't actually fall off of my wrist though and fits better than most bracelets I find do. Charm Factory offers different sizes. I know they at least off up to a 9. If you want to order, but have trouble you can always ask the super friendly customer service for help. If you are unsure of your wrist size, simply grab a measuring tape and measure it. 

It fasten with a lobster style clasp and an O-ring type of closure. It stays on well and looks SO nice. I can't stop admiring it when I wear it. I'm constantly staring at the different beads. It's been noticed each time I've worn it. These are very unique  bracelets and so far, mine's held up very well. I'm sure it will be around for a very long time. The charm bracelets look far more expensive than they are. They have a very expensive feel and look to them. Sorry QVC! Ha. Ha. I don't actually order from QVC, but I had to add that. The Charm Bracelets are priced at only  $10.99 at the moment. It's a great time to go ahead and grab one as a Christmas gift. 

Be sure to check out their huge selection of different beads, charms, chains, etc. They're all so gorgeous it's hard to choose! They also have pendants, lockets and jewelry tools and supplies. I love that they offer everything you could need right there in one place.
