What are your silver charms and bracelets made from ?

All of our silver charms (excluding the mobile phone charms) are made from Sterling Silver, also known as 925 Silver. Pure silver is too soft for most jewellery uses so it is mixed with 7.5% copper to produce Sterling Silver, this increases its strength whilst maintaining its beauty. This high quality silver is the same that is used by many high street retailers including Tiffany and Links Of London. We DO NOT sell any silver plated charms or bracelets.

Are your charms hallmarked?

Silver items are exempt from hallmarking if they weigh under 7.78grams and in some cases hallmarks can be left off if they detract from the design of the item. However most, but not all, of our charms carry the '925' stamp.

Don't forget, if you want the charms to be soldered onto the bracelet for additional security select the connection method of "Soldered Connection " for each charm.
