*raises hand* I am a fan. I wanted to start adding more charms to my Tiffany link bracelet (starting w/just the bracelet and a tiffany lock charm).

I looked around everywhere at different types of charms and decided to try Thomas Sabo. The ones I looked into were:

Tiffanys: very pricey to collect a lot, and there are a limited number of different styles. So doing an all-Tiffanys bracelet would take forever & I still wouldn't have some things I wanted such as animals.

Rembrandt: big selection, but the designs didn't grab me so much. They don't seem as "refined" looking to me.

James Avery: too "oxidized" for my taste, I like shiney.

Links of London: for the price point (just a bit less than Tiffanys) they didn't seem special or unique enough.

So why I decided on Thomas Sabo is, the quality is good, they are shiney instead of oxidized, the designs are more uniquly styled instead of generic looking, and a huge selection.

I got the bee and the white enamel chair. The little bee is soooo cute and lovable! He has a fat little body, and his wings actually move. The chair is beautiful and dainty. Next I want to get the seahorse for sure, then I am mulling over the next ones. I also plan to get some Tiffany charms to intersperse them with, such as a small RTT heart & the star tag, maybe others.

The only slight downside was, when I got it I realized that the clasp part was too small for my Tiffany medium-link bracelet, since the links are fairly "thick". After much agonizing, I took it to my jewelry repair place, and they replace the clasps with rings that they soldered into place. I know part of the fun is supposed to be changing them around, but oh, well.

I'm a fan! My mom started my bracelet as a bday present one year, and my bf and myself have been adding cute charms to it ever since.

I think its a brand any age can find something cute in! I love the new range they have out!

I love this brand! It's totally affordable but I find it really good quality - I've built a charm bracelet representing my two girls and my sister and I have been filling my mom's that represents all of the grandkids as gifts every year! They're beautiful little pieces. If I get a chance I'll take a pic for you!

Oh, yes a pic would be great! Do you mind if I ask which charms you got to represent your family? I am thinking of doing the same thing & trying to decide which ones to get...

The new line of barbie charms from sabo looks so cute!

I have a necklace and I'm building a bracelet.

mizz852 · Oct 31st, 2009, 02:45 AM

I think the charms are super cute, the only thing I don't like about them is that they get scratched easily, and once they're scratched, the scratch marks are super obvious
