Hey everyone I need some help choosing between 2 charms. Does anyone have a problem with the charms being too small? I wanted to get the palm tree disk charm but saw that it's only 15mm so I wasn't sure if that was too small for a more "complex" design? Would the palm tree even be recognizable in something so tiny? The horseshoe is a simpler design so it might suit the size more? I've always wanted a palm tree pendant though and the palm tree is less expensive:

I have some initial charms and a diamond by the yard chain from her, i have a mini ladybug too and its very very mini! Way smaller than i expected but its still cute. The horseshoe abd palm tree seem bigger than the ladybug thou. Good luck:smile:!

The initial charms are about the same size as the palm tree charm. Do you think it's too small?

I think it may be fine. I like when she makes pendants that are just the object..:like an actual palm tree pendant.

I wanted to add my pieces to this thread. I love Helen Ficalora's pieces and was lucky to have met her in person when she opened a pop up store in Dallas, TX in the fall of 2010. I drove the 4 1/2 hours from Houston to her store to get a look at all the beautiful charms, rings, and earrings that aren't on her website and there she was! She was so lovely and took 2 hours to chat with me and help try on different pieces. She loved the fact that I had driven all the way up just to visit her and was going go drive all the way back as soon as I was done. She was so down to earth, told me about her sons (one who just went through a break up, lol), and her husband who suffers from MS.
I have the 20" DBTY with the bezel set diamonds MOM charm and a small birth stone charm with a citrine. The 24" inch twisted chain holds diamond bezel initial charms of my twins and the Hubs as well as two amethyst birth jewel charms and a small key charm. I also own her small hoops with diamond disc charm which are my every day earrings.
Thank you for letting me share my favorite jewelry pieces!

Beautiful story and beautiful jewelry. I am wondering about you gold twisted chain... I am looking for something similar. Any ideas where to find one? I have one in white gold from more than 8 years ago, and they no longer carry it. Your seems to have much shorter links. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you!

Very nice. I love HF. I have a number of her charms and her dbty chain. Her store in NY is not that far for me but somehow I've never made it there and I don't know why! I'm so glad people are posting on here again!

Thanks, guys! I looked back and my first post on this thread was from 2011! So I've been wanting one of her disc charms for 4 years now! It's been a long time coming!

Reviving this thread!

My yellow gold ball chain broke about a month ago so I got it fixed at the jeweler. Tonight I went to bring the clasp around to the back of my neck and the chain snapped off at the clasp again. Instead of paying for another repair I figure I should just invest in a new chain for my HF charms.

My charm necklace is a daily staple so I want to start looking for a new chain asap. Does anyone have a photo of your charms on a dbty chain? I'm curious to see what that would like like! Also, any ideas where to purchase a good quality chain that won't break the bank? Thanks!
