A Charming Good Time!

Have you made yourself a sassy charm necklace or bracelet yet?! Lots of funky new beaded necklaces, cords, and chunky bracelets are now in, perfect to mix it up! One of our favorite charms is Art by Amy's handcrafted "Over Accessorizer" Medium Art Charm.  We used it to make three completely different pieces, to give you an idea of what you can do with our charm selection!

Here's the reversible art charm we started with:
And here's what we came up with:




Our first look is simple but sassy! This will coordinate with anything from an office suit to a biker jacket...

Art by Amy Medium Art Charm - $25
Lavender Ribbon Necklace - $8


Total Look: $33




















The second look has a splash of color with some mini charms for a funky day look! Perfect to throw on with a casual maxi dress, or jeans and a tee...

Art by Amy Medium Art Charm - $25
Pick Up Sticks Word Candy Charms - $10 each
(these tiny charms are reversible with an image on one side, a saying on the other - we used the Cross Art/Blessed and Bee Art/Just Bee)
Pick Up Sticks Trinket Charms - $10 each
(we chose a filigree shoe and an envelope that opens!)
Beaded Necklace - $15

Total Look: $80














The final look is all-out glam! Match with a little black dress or denim jumper for a night on the town...

Art by Amy Medium Art Charm - $25
Art by Amy Gemstone Drops - $10 each
(great to coordinate with main charms colors)
Pick Up Sticks Trinket Charms - $10 each
(we chose a queen's crown and the Eiffel Tower)
Art by Amy Name Caller Charm - $15
(isn't every lady a diva?)
Art by Amy Small Art Charm - $18
(we added the "Hairdresser Fairy" charm because it's colors matched, and we figured most hairdressers are great accessorizers!)
Chunky Layered Necklace with Heart - $25
(a perfect choice to start with as it already has multi-chains, a heart charm, and some bling)

Total Look: $153






We adore Art by Amy and Pick Up Stick's charms as they are all hand-crafted with love and fill a range from sassy to sweet. As you can see, fashion and budget options are endless. A personally designed art charm necklace is not only a blast to create for yourself, but also a great keepsake gift to give a daughter, sister, mother, friend, etc. We truly believe in spreading accessory love here at Shop Estella!
