Material: Choose a charm made of high-quality metal that will not rust or tarnish. If you are starting a charm collection for a bracelet, keep your theme in mind and choose materials that will match your other charms.
Links: Choose a charm that securely attaches to your chain. Look for closed loops rather than hooks or snap closures. Avoid heavy links if you have a light, thin chain to prevent it from snapping.
