Tips on creating your personalized Jewelry

Welcome to LeCharme, we are so happy that you chose our company! The first thing you need to decide is do I want to have my jewelry "linked" to my necklace or do I want the charms to dangle. When your jewelry is linked you cannot move it around (unless you know how to use jump rings). The charms are attached with "jump rings", the jump ring is then "closed" onto the necklace. Most people choose "linked".If you would like your charms to "dangle", the charm will move around on the necklace. Dangled items can be removed and reattached or you can freely buy new chrams and slide them on.

Let's Get Started!

Step 1 - Decide if you are making a necklace, bracelet, Earrings or anklet. Choose your chain. The more delicate the chain is, the less charms you want to put on it. So, if you pick a delicate chain, please do not put 21 charms on it. (yes, we have had people put up to 24 charms on a bracelet). 
Step 2 - Depending on what you chose to make. MEASURE YOUR NECK, WRIST OR ANKLE. You may have an item already in your jewelry cabinet and you love the way it fits. Get a measuring tape and when you submit your charm layout to us, tell us how long (in inches) you would like your items to be. If the CHAIN you chose comes in different sizes, we can size it to ANY size. If the chain says (example) 18 inches, we can put an extender on and make it 1-3 inches longer. Just about anything is possible, just ask. 
​Step 3 - Let's talk necklaces. The shorter the necklace limits the amount of charms you can choose. Remeber you don't want the charms too far up your neck. If choosing a necklace you also want to choose an ODD number of charms. Why do you ask? Your largest charm sits dead center, it's your focal point. Then you need an even amount of charms on either side of the focus charm. Keep this in mind as you choose your charms. 
Step 4 - If you have chosen to make a bracelet, anklet or earrings it does not matter how many charms you choose to attach. You can only put 1 charm on a set of earrings.

Step 5 - Now it's time to pick out your charms. Your largest charm goes in the very middle of your necklace. Then you are going to assemble by size (as to where to place them). We tend to put the bigger ones from closest to the middle, and then the smaller ones as you go up the necklace. Your going to need to send an email to lecharmeofsaratoga@gmail.com with the name on the order, order number, your phone number and the "lineup" of how you want the charms to be placed FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. If you don't have a specific way that you want the charms linked, and if you want us to do this for you, just write that in the email. We will send a pic of what it would look like for your approval. (We will only do this twice).

What our chains and charms are made out of?

Most of our chains are 18K gold plated stainless steel. Some of our chains are gold filled. Each chain clearly states what it consists of. Most of our charms are 18K gold stainless steel we do have some charms that are brass based and coated. We coat all of our products to ensure that your product lasts for a long time.  18K gold plated stainless steel - Stainless steel based, stainless steel does not tarnish. This is why we tend to use it more than any other metals. The metal is then coated with 18K gold. This should last you for some time if you take care of your jewelry. You should take your jewelry off before showering, exercising, going in the ocean. If you wear perfume, put your perfume on BEFORE your jewelry, also make sure your perfume dries before putting on your jewelry. DO NOT PUT THIS JEWELRY IN A CLEANER OR ANY CLEANING SOLUTION. Gold filled Jewelry - Gold filled chains have become with popular. They have become popular because they are cheaper to purchase (they are not solid gold). If you take good care of the chain it will last for a long time. The core of the chain is what ever the manufacturer fills it with and the outside of the chain is solid gold. Making it a win win for everyone.
