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

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...
I am a fan of TS ,can't walk past a shop without looking for buy a new one.
Thomas Sabo more of costume jewelry for Young to Middle Age group & mid-high market.
Some designs are nice but abit over priced as they use normal CZ on Sterling Silver, I prefer real stones.
