Charm Factory Review and Giveaway {Closed}

Let me preface this review by saying that I am not usually a jewelry sort of girl. However, I have been making the move towards being a bit more fashionable since my big weight loss and I wanted to start branching out and adding accessories to my wardrobe. When I came across the charms and charm bracelets available at Charm Factory, I was instantly attracted to their simple sterling silver designs.

{About the Company}

Charm Factory has a large variety of hundreds of different charms that can match the needs of any consumer. Their silver charms and beads are made from .925 sterling silver and are made in the USA! The company also offers charms made of pewter, 14k plated gold, crystals, stone, shells and even wood. They also offer a range of finished charm bracelets as well as jewelry components, cell phone straps and chains. In addition, the Charm Factory products are also nickel and lead free.

From their Twilight inspired charms, such as the Team Edward Charm and the Wooden Howling Wolf Charm to the crystal laden Pave charms, Charm Factory offers something to fit each consumer's individual needs and tastes. Silver charms are available in a wide range of categories including baby charms, photo charms, message charms, animal charms and many more. These items are all reasonably priced and there is always free shipping for orders of $25 or more.

{My Take}

Charm Factory was kind enough to send me one of their finished charm bracelets. I chose the Awareness Bracelet, which has two awareness ribbon charms, as well as three word charms that read faith, hope and believe. I was really surprised when the bracelet arrived, because it is of much greater quality than I expected. The charms and bracelet both have a very polished finish and the engraving and detail on the charms themselves is great.

I love that the bracelets come in a "one size fits most" universal size so there is no guesses which would be the best fit for you. There is a strong lobster clasp included that was easy enough for my 10 year old to work, since I broke my hand and cannot do it for myself. There is no pinching from the links of the bracelet and I have worn it for at least half a dozen days and it is just as bright and shiny as when I first put it on.

The only thing that was a little tiresome, was the constant clanging of the charms against the keyboard when I was typing, but I fixed this by loosening the bracelet and pushing it further up my arm and away from my wrist when using the computer. Other than that, I love my new charm bracelet and with the choices available, they would definitely make a great gift idea for any sort of event and they go with anything.
