There’s something special about your very own charm necklace. Because not only is it a (gorgeous!) piece of jewellery, it’s also your very only little collection of your personality. And the best part? You can create so many different looks from just one chain!
To get started, you need to choose a chain that feels like “you.” Here at BCJ we offer 5 chain shapes and sizes from a mix of dainty, chunky, short, long and adjustable for layering. This is the backbone of your dream necklace. My current favourite chain is this one!
Next I would recommend picking out the star of the show - the central charm. It’s going to be the centre of attention, this charm anchors your design and gives your necklace a focal point. A couple of my favourite centre charms include the Shell/Fossil, the Flower Charm and the Teardrop Pearl Charm

Once you’ve picked your centre charm, you can start to add smaller charms around it. You can build your necklace with either 5 or 7 charms total: one central charm and 4 or 6 smaller ones arranged around it for a perfectly balanced look.
Mix it up with cute coins, beachy shells, tiny stars, colourful enamel pieces, and don’t be afraid to play with shapes, textures, and finishes. If I was to pick 6 charms to add to my charm necklace right now I would choose the Starfish, the Sun Face, the Cowboy Boot, the Pink Coin the Turquoise Evil Eye and the Angel Pearl.

The best part of a charm necklace is how versatile they are. You can easily swap a charm to change the vibe, layer the chain with another necklace for extra impact, or even move the charms around to give it a different feel! Want to take your styling even further? Build a “charm stack” by layering a short necklace with a long one!
Charm necklaces are about expressing yourself, telling your story, and having fun with your style. They’re perfect for gifting too, because who wouldn’t love a piece that is uniquely theirs?
