Frequently Asked Questions
A 9ct white gold cable or belcher chain - This metal choice matches the colour of the charm to the bracelet for colour cohesion. The link styles of belcher and cables chains are strong, evenly spaced, and usually soldered closed, so they handle the weight of multiple charms, let the charms move freely, and make additions or removals easy over time.
Start with theme that reflects your story or interests - Many collectors pick milestones (travel, birthdays) or visual themes (animals, letters) and balance sizes so the bracelet hangs evenly. Mixing textures and finishes keeps the design interesting while still cohesive.
No, 9ct white gold charms are not magnetic. Gold won’t stick to a magnet unless the alloy contains significant iron, nickel, or cobalt. Clasps or jump rings made with base-metal springs may attract weakly, but the charm itself will not.
Anywhere from AU $80 to AU $1,000+ per charm. Price varies with gold purity, weight & craftsmanship. Heavier 18ct pieces or pure 24ct gold charms command the highest premiums, while lightweight 9ct charms are more affordable.
Yes, 9ct white gold charms are suitable for daily wear, but exposure to water, sweat, and chemicals can cause tarnish. Regular cleaning and storage in anti-tarnish pouches help maintain shine.

Solid gold charms can last for generations. Gold does not rust or tarnish, so with basic care - occasional polishing and secure storage - charms often become heirlooms passed down within families.
Yes, you can shower with 9ct white gold charms. Using a toothbrush (not your own) to clean a charm in the shower is a great way to remove any dead skin or dirt build up. Be sure to rinse of any chemicals or soaps

5–9 charms give a balanced look on an average 19 cm chain. Space each charm a link or two apart; too many pieces can tangle, while too few may look sparse. Add in stages so the bracelet remains comfortable as your collection grows.
Use a jump ring, split ring or link lock. For jump rings; open the ring sideways, slip it through the chain link, then close. don't pull jump rings apart front-to-back, as that it distorts the metal.

For link locks; use pliers to gently pry open the link lock, feed it through the chain, and use the locking mechanism to permanently attach.

Measure your wrist and add 2 cm (¾″) for a comfortable drape. Wrap a flexible tape around the wrist bone; a charm bracelet needs extra room for charm bulk and movement, so size up slightly compared with a snug bangle fit.
Most are lost-wax cast, then hand-polished. A wax model is carved or 3-D-printed, encased in plaster, then melted out to form a mould. Molten 9ct white gold is poured in, the casting is cooled, sprues removed, surfaces filed, polished, and fitted with a jump ring.
