Age Charms Coming of age charms, celebrating 18th (and, for the traditionalists - or for the greedy!) 21st birthdays, with key charms, and similar.

American Charms All from the cowboy era, so far....

Animal Charms From antelope to wasp (yes, insects and reptiles included here, until they merit their own sections!)

Building Charms Towers, a church, a watermill...

Christmas Charms A selection of those very hard-to-find seasonal products. And when we say hard to find, we mean it. Honestly (folks) we know of no retail or internet site where you'll find anything like this selection. And in case you haven't bought any (all?) of the items below, but you want a reminder of how great Christmas 2007 was - click away!

Celtic Charms Charms showing the intricate celtic designs very popular at present.

Cross Charms Just crosses, of varying size and design.

Enamelled Charms All sorts of charms, in enamelled 9-carat gold

Family Charms From Nans to babies, these charms span the generations.

Charms For Personalising Plain flat charms, for engraving with relevant names or dates.

Fruit & Veg Charms For the vegetarian - or the greengrocer - in your life.

Good Luck Charms Horseshoes, clover leafs, etc

Heart. Charms Open, hollow, solid, or broken!

Initial Charms All script initials are normally in stock (even the ones no-one ever buys) - should two of you want the same letter on the same day the second one will have to wait 24 hours. Interestingly enough (well - probably not too fascinating, really) the best selling letter is 'N'. (The missing pics are on my list of fingsterdo - but they all look sort of sqiggly and initially!)

Irish Charms A choice of designs from the Emerald Isle.

Job, Trade charms Charms relating to particular occupations.

Jointed Figures These are becoming so popular they had to have a section all to themselves.

London Charms People, places - even a London bus.

Misc Charms and Pendants OK - so these charms defied my limited categorisation abilities.

Vintage Style Moving Charms A selection of delicate designs which move (see also Opening charms and Jointed charms).

Musical Charms From clefs to instruments.

Mythical Charms A small (but perfectly formed) section.

Opening Charms There has been a long tradition of charms that open up to reveal their contents. Generally, clever design and delicate workmanship are involved, including hand assembly. This a very collectable category. A photograph of the open charm accompanies each standard photo.

Pendants These items are primarily designed to be worn on a chain, rather than on a bracelet. Often they have a fancy mount to run on a chain. Most are also suitable as charms, and will be provided with a jump ring which could be used in addition to, or in place of, the mount that would hold it on a chain. Since you may wish to wear the item either way, the choice is left to the wearer. As a rule of thumb, designs over 30mm in length would look large on most bracelets. If the item is really not suited to wearing on a bracelet, this will be made clear. And remember our guarantee - if you don't like anything for any reason, send it back within 30 days for a full refund.

Personal Comment? How some of you might see other people...

Welsh Charms This section will never get as big as Ireland!

Zodiac Signs A distinctive range of designs, these are single-sided (pressed) charms - ie, from the back, you see only the hollowed-out design. They make good pendants. In case you're not sure, the relevant dates are given for each sign. For something different, watch out for the Chinese Year Animals, coming later this year. For the learned bit, see below:- Zodiac, imaginary belt in the celestial sphere, extending about 8° on either side of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun among the stars. The width of the zodiac was determined originally so as to include the orbits of the Sun and Moon and of the five planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) that were known to the people of ancient times. The zodiac is divided into 12 sections of 30° each, which are called the signs of the zodiac. Starting with the vernal equinox and then proceeding eastwards along the ecliptic, each of the divisions is named after the constellation situated within its limits in the 2nd century BC. The names of the zodiacal signs are: Aries, the Ram; Taurus, the Bull; Gemini, the Twins; Cancer, the Crab; Leo, the Lion; Virgo, the Virgin; Libra, the Balance; Scorpio, the Scorpion; Sagittarius, the Archer; Capricornus, the Goat; Aquarius, the Water Bearer; and Pisces, the Fishes. Because of the precession of the equinoxes about the ecliptic, a 26,000-year cycle, the first point of Aries retrogrades about 1° in 70 years, so that the sign Aries today lies in the constellation Pisces. In about 24,000 years, when the retrogression will have completed the entire circuit of 360°, the zodiacal signs and constellations will again coincide.

Charm Bracelets A selection of bracelets, including two for small children or babies, to put your charms on. All are good quality and value.

Gold Charm Chains Chains in varying weights, and two common sizes, all suitable for wearing with any of the charms/pendants available on this site. You will note that all the designs have close links, suited to wearing with pendants. As a working guide, any chain should be about as heavy as the pendant worn with it. (If you would like a chain which we don't have shown, please call. We can give you a price, and despatch it to you within our normal 48-hour turnaround.)
