I Love Charm Bracelets (part 1)

Yes I do!! In fact, in my possession I have two expensive charm bracelets from Thomas Sabo and my first ever and probably the last Tiffany & Co. Both are presents from Bear. As much as I adore charm bracelets, I still can't bring myself to spend exorbitantly for one piece of sterling silver. 

Thomas Sabo

Unless if it is a present. Heh~ My Thomas Sabo bracelet with all its charms cost roughly RM900, whereas the Tiffany & Co classic Return to Tiffany bracelet cost RM1,200. Extremely pricey I know.

Fret not, pretty and custom-made charm bracelets/necklaces need not always be expensive. I managed to find two such blogs which sells amazing pieces. 

(1) Crafted By Mei

And so one fine day I was flipping through The Star and came upon an inspiring story of Mei, who had cancer and was paralyzed waist down. She found God and through His grace, she started the business of handmade charm accessories. You may opt to custom-make your pieces of jewelry - you can refer to the design on her blog and then converse with her via email an your requirement.

I have used the above two designs to be combined as one and asked Mei to custom-make a charm bracelet for me. Can't wait to see the outcome. :)

Aside from the charm bracelet, I have also requested for Mei to make two necklaces for me inspired by these two designs below. One is more casual for my everyday wear, and the other is more sweet and can be used for formal wear as well.

In my honest opinion, I prefer the designs from here because they are more unique and they have more themes to choose from. Of course, you may custom-make your designs as well. I have chosen two charm bracelet designs. 

One is Dainty & Demure No. 2 below with minimal changes. I am really a sucker  big fan of all things sweet and lovely. Couldn't resist on this one. :)

Then as I was scrolling the site, I came across this charm bracelet with an antique kind of a feel. So quaint! I've requested to add in a little more color into the bracelet so we shall see how it goes. :)

So if you are as crazy about charms as I am and don't want to over-spend, please do go through the above two sites. I am sure you would find something that is of interest to you. Will do another post on the custom-made jewelry once I've gotten the bracelets/necklaces. :)
