How to Build Your Brighton Charm Bracelet
Brighton charm bracelets are the perfect gift idea. They are always a great accessory and as Brighton is a name synonymous with elegance and class. Today, more and more people are building their own bracelets for themselves or as gifts for others. To build your own Brighton charm bracelet, there are three important steps you must take.
Before building your own Brighton charm bracelet, you must decide on a theme or a purpose. The beauty of charm bracelets is that they allow you to design and personalize them over time by adding different charms and mementos. Keep in mind that some charm bracelets are fancier than others, and some are larger than others so the first step is to choose a bracelet that fits your lifestyle. Make sure to measure your wrist with a tape measure to determine the length of your bracelet. Brighton offers four bracelet lengths ranging from 7 ¼ to 8 ¾ inches for many of their styles.
The second step in building your own Brighton charm bracelet is designing a pattern from your selected charms and beads. When choosing charms or beads you want to choose something that represents you as a person. This could possibly be a hobby of yours or important events that have taken place in your life such as your wedding, the birth of a child, or times you spent travelling abroad. Charms can also symbolize your family or special holidays such as Mother's Day or the 4th of July. Make sure your bracelet is weighted so that it slips down the wrist without the charms clanging together loudly. This can be coordinated with the use of beads and spacers. Like the charms, beads and spacers can also be elaborate and represent you as an individual.
The second step is picking a clasp that will suit you. The most common clasp for charm bracelets are lobster clasps because it locks your bracelet at each end. Another popular choice is the toggle because it is easy to take on and off. If you are worried about losing your bracelet you can get a safety chain. A safety chain will make sure that your bracelet does not come loose and slip off your wrist. When choosing the perfect clasp for your Brighton charm bracelet, remember that not all of Brighton’s bracelets offer interchangeable clasps. Finally, Brighton offers clasp with decorative filigree scrolls and many other signature designs.
You can build your own Brighton charm bracelet at any Brighton store or online using their interactive website by selecting a carrier and dragging the images of beads, spacers, and charms onto it. From there you can rearrange the bracelet anyway you like so that you coordinate the sizes and colors to create the perfect Brighton charm bracelet.
