Sterling Silver Charms Online

Welcome to Silver Charms Online! This is an information guide for everything to do with sterling silver charms and charm bracelets and hopefully you will find all you need to know in order to make the right choice. Unless you need your items urgently today, I always recommend that you buy charms online and it is certainly my first port of call when I want to add to my sweetie bracelet.

Why do I recommend that you purchase online? There are quite a few reasons for that. For example

1. Cheap Silver Charms

You will rarely find discount silver charms in a jewelry store. The overheads are too high and the stores want to keep an exclusive presence. Although you can get some wonderful looking web sites, they don’t cost anywhere near the same to run as a regular jewelry store so they can sell their charms at a more reasonable price. Plus, all sites know that you are only one click away from surfing over to the competition, so they have to stay competitive as far as prices are concerned.

2. A Better Selection

Although some stores are better than others, the last time I went to a jewelry store in a mall near my home, they were able to offer only 7 different silver charms. I was not impressed. Perhaps there is not a big profit margin on them compared to gold watches and diamond rings. You will find more silver charms on one page of every site online than in that store. In fact you may find them in such quantities that you might just be a little overwhelmed.

3. Search Functionality

If you are looking for something in particular a search will provide you just what you need very quickly whether that is a ballerina charm, a dollar bill in a tiny case or a sunflower, there will be every type of charm imaginable at your fingertips in a few seconds. You can’t say that about shopping in a store.

4. No Pressure

There is no high pressure selling online. You can make your mind up which silver charms you want to buy in your own time, visit as many “stores” as you like and make your decision without anyone breathing down your neck.

5. Convenience

Your silver charms will get delivered to your door within a day or two and free shipping is often offered if you buy over a certain amount. Insurance is usually included too, so that you don’t have to worry about your package going missing, but if not, it is worth adding that to your purchase for peace of mind. I usually buy a few charms at once to take advantage of this kind of discount offer on shipping (well that’s my excuse!) Sometimes you will get buy a few buy two or three and get the cheapest free type offers from an online jewelry store too.

Cheap Silver Charms

If you are looking for cheap silver charms you will find many around at pocket money prices, enough to fill up your charm bracelet for very little money indeed. But is that really what you want? The thing is that many of those cheap charms are not sterling silver at all, but silver colored metal.

Real sterling silver charms are stamped with the 925 mark, indicating that they are genuine and although these are not hugely expensive, they do cost more than those which are made of any old metal. These days it is rare to find charms being advertised as real silver when they are not – at least not if you buy silver charms from reputable stores and websites.

So when you see cheap silver charms for sale, check out the description to see if they are indeed silver or some cheap imitation. As long as they are real silver and the prices are low, you will know you are getting a good deal.

If you have a limited budget but you want real silver, you will do much better to look for discount silver charms online as you will find many, which are sold there at much lower prices than you will find in a jewelry store. If you are stuck you will find many charms at low prices here including a collection of charms similar to Pandora bead charms at a steal.

Some of the discounted silver charms will be marked as reduced in relation to recommended retail prices. Others will simply be low in price as they are not sold elsewhere. With a little browsing online you will see genuine good deals without spending much time at all. Your only problem will be choosing whether you want a teddy bear charm or a handbag charm, or a beautiful sparkling starfish.

The thing is to be selective and not to buy all your charms at once. Many of the bracelets, especially the sweetie charm bracelets, look lovely with just one or two charms. Treat yourself to a charm or two whenever you can afford it, to build up your collection. And suggest silver charms as gifts whenever anyone asks you what you would like for your birthday or other occasion. You will soon have a bracelet to die for and it will be something precious where each charm has meaning rather than something throwaway and cheap.

There is a tendency to want everything right now these days but a little patience can really pay off when you come to buy cheap charms. Don’t just buy any old charms and seek out the good deals on genuine silver charms online rather than going for imitation silver.

How Much Should You Pay For Silver Charms?

You can buy charms for all kinds of prices but how much should you really pay to get value for money? You can buy cheap silver charms for just a few dollars but take care that you are buying sterling silver and not fake silver charms. If you are looking for something you’ll want to wear forever you don’t want to fall in love with ones which will peel or go dull and fall to bits in no time.

Sterling silver charms can be purchased for very reasonable sums online so there is no need to go for fakes. The price of the charm will depend on how much silver has gone into making it and how much detailed work there is on it. Just take the time to compare a few different silver charms and you will see the differences. Most charms cost around $8 to $20 dollars online and a lot more in stores so it’s worth doing a bit of digging around on the web.

Also look at the way the charms fasten to your bracelet or necklace or other items.

Do they need additional sterling silver jump or split rings so that they can be attached or do they come with an integral clip so that they can be easily attached to any item? It’s nice to be able to move your charms around different items of jewelry such as pendants and also use them as bag and mobile phone accessories or dangles. Some stores (online and off) will charge more for the attachments. You need to remember to add these into the cost.

If charms are encrusted with gemstones or crystals then you are also going to pay more as there is the price of the stone and also the work that goes into setting it. You have to take all that into account in the final price.

And, of course you will usually pay more for big name type charms. You can buy Tiffany silver charms and Pandora beads. There are branded charms too from Links of London. If you buy these make sure that they are genuine. For example, Links of London charms will be stamped with the brand. If you are paying more you want the real thing.

I think the best way to decide how much to pay is to shop around until you find a store or website you trust which has a good selection of silver charms you love at what seem to be reasonable prices and then to pay for charms which you think are worth the money after having done your research. A charm is only worth the money if it is worth it to you. You are not going to melt your silver charm down and turn it back into a block of metal. You want the charm itself after all. So just check that you love the design, its from a genuine site and it seems to be value for money and go for it.

You will find a huge selection of silver charms here on Amazon. Take a look at their selection.
