A friend of mine has sensitive skin and can't wear earrings unless they're gold. She asked for a charm bracelet instead. I experimented with attaching charms to silver chain bracelets and with single strand, beaded bracelets, but was never really satisfied with the outcome. In my opinion, when working with lampwork beads as charms, the heavier chain maille is a much better option. Since it really doesn't make sense to "experiment" with brand new ideas/techniques using top notch materials (likely to be ruined during the creative process), I started making up a few charm bracelets using pre-fabricated nickel bracelets. I really liked the way this one turned out, and will probably list this as a keiki/teen piece. The others are being pulled/cut apart.
What do you think, in terms of design, etc? Do you wear charm bracelets? Is this too heavy looking? Not full enough?
PS- Go visit Beth's Baby Boutique. It's her grand opening, so "heart" her and check back after the holidays!
