Charm Necklaces
The usually small ornament known as a charm has been around since prehistoric times. Charms are usually objects that are felt to be imbued with some special meaning or power to help, commemorate, or celebrate some event or person. When a charm is used as a part of a piece of jewelry such as a charm necklace, it usually delights us in some way - visually or by touch or both.
Today many people who wear charm jewelry, that is charm necklaces or charm bracelets, do so for aesthetic reasons. However, some women still wear their charm necklaces or bracelets to remind them of events such as engagement, marriage, the birth of a child, a graduation, and even sometimes as a special amulet or talisman or "lucky charm." Birthstone charms are especially common since they commemorate the person and usually close family members. Some charm necklaces feature charms made of specific healing gemstones for those who believe in the efficacy of wearing those stones close to them.
Our charm necklaces do not fit in any one category: some are sterling silver; some are a mixture of gemstones and sterling silver; some have vintage beads made of different materials; some look as though they are a modified lariat necklace with charms hanging only in the center of the necklace. Our charm necklaces vary depending on mood and whim and materials we have available.

A Drop of the Ocean
This simple charm necklace has become one of my favorites! A pretty aqua chalcedony briolette hangs inside a sterling silver hammered teardrop shaped loop. A sterling silver horseshoe charm (for good luck, so it's pointing up) dangles from one side of the teardrop. The sterling silver chain is made of elongated loops. Simple and sophisticated with an artisan look, this necklace is one you'll reach for time and time again. 82.99

Pomegranate
This garnet charm necklace is called "Pomegranate" because it is thought that is where the garnet gemstone gets its name. The single flat, faceted garnet nugget is almost a teardrop shape and is quite large, especially for garnets. Two charms dangle over the garnet: a single sterling faceted ring, and a teardrop filigree. Above the three charms hang two bezel set cabochon garnets in sterling silver. A sterling silver chain holds the charms. This charm necklace is the perfect gift for those who have a January birthday or for those who adore garnets. 95.99

Salvation Necklace
We have salvation bracelets on our site, but this charm necklace is actually a salvation necklace! The beautiful filigree cross is sterling silver and a small sterling cherubim hovers above it. To one side of the necklace are the six colors that make up the salvation bracelets, each having a distinctive meaning to Christianity. Black for sin, red for the blood of Christ,blue for baptism, clear for our cleansing of sin through baptism, green for the growth of our spirit, and gold for heaven. The colors here are shown in Swarovski crystals. The chain is made of elongated flattened links and comes with a lobster clasp or toggle if you wish, either in sterling silver. 101.99

The Golden Globe
This charm necklace is one of my favorites. It features a "harmony ball" from Bali. This harmony ball is made of sterling silver filigree with a bezel-set gemstone in its top. It opens so that you can remove the golden brass ball that also gives it its color. Two copper-colored Swarovski crystals hang on either side of the harmony ball pendant and all hang from a14 karat gold-filled chain. 131.99
