If you’ve scrolled through TikTok or Instagram lately, you’ve probably noticed it: charms are back in a big way. Charm jewelry is one of the hottest trends of 2025, but not just the classic charm bracelet your mom wore — today’s charms are showing up everywhere, from Doc Martens to Stanley cups, bikinis to braids.
At Silverwork Studios, we’ve embraced the charm craze with open arms. Our extensive collection of gold, silver, and vintage charms means you can create a truly one-of-a-kind piece that tells your story — whether that’s through a bracelet, necklace, boot charm, purse charms, or even a custom water bottle accessory.
Charm bar sessions start at $75 for 3 charms, takes about an hour, and is appropriate for all ages - book here. We also have charm bar party options - contact us to learn more.

Why Are Charms So Popular Right Now?
Charm jewelry taps into something that’s both nostalgic and fresh. On one hand, charms remind us of childhood — those little tokens collected over years, each one holding a special memory. On the other hand, today’s charm culture is all about personalization, creativity, and making a style statement that's entirely your own.
In an age when individuality is celebrated more than ever, charms offer a playful way to showcase your personality. Whether you’re into astrology, sea creatures, vintage vibes, or simple, sleek initials, there’s a charm out there (or dozens!) that speaks to you.

And let’s be honest — with trends like maximalism, Y2K fashion, and DIY accessories dominating fashion right now, it’s no wonder charm bars have exploded in popularity.
What’s a Charm Bar, Anyway?
If you’re new to the term, a charm bar is a setup where you can pick and choose from a huge array of charms to create your own custom jewelry. Some places, like Silverwork Studios, even offer interactive experiences where you can build your piece right on-site. It’s a fun, tactile way to design jewelry that’s meaningful and truly your own, or a perfect gift with a personal touch.
Sampling of charms at Silverwork Studios
At our charm bar, you’ll find everything from delicate gold stars to chunky silver moons, tiny enameled elephants to vintage up-cycled finds through our Rejewel program. Want a charm to represent your sun sign? We’ve got it. Need a tiny pineapple for your tropical soul? Done. Dreaming of a tiny dragonfly to put on your favorite Doc Martens? We’ve thought of that too.
Beyond the Bracelet: New Ways to Rock Charms
The beauty of today’s charm obsession is that it’s not limited to just bracelets anymore. Here’s where charms are popping up:
-Charm Necklaces: Layered charm necklaces are everywhere. Whether you’re stacking delicate gold chains with tiny pendants or going bold with oversized vintage pieces, there’s no wrong way to wear it. Give the perfect personalized gift: an initial and birthstone charm necklace.

Stacked Necklaces
- Boot Charms: Customizing your Doc Martens (or cowboy boots!) with boot charms is one of the freshest ways to upgrade your footwear game. Clip a few onto your laces or attach a chain around the ankle for an unexpected detail that will turn heads.
- Bikini Charms: Yes, you read that right. Bikini charms are the ultimate beach accessory right now — tiny, waterproof charms clipped onto swimsuit straps or ties add a little extra sparkle to your poolside look.
- Bag Charms: Looking to add a little extra personality to your favorite handbag? Charms are the perfect way to customize your bag and make it uniquely yours. Clip a few onto your handles, zippers, or strap rings to show off your initials, favorite symbols, or pops of color. Whether you go bold with a cluster of charms or keep it minimal with one special piece, it's an easy (and fun!) way to elevate your everyday style.
- Stanley Cup Charms: For the hydration-obsessed among us (and let's be honest, that's most of us), adding charms to your Stanley cup handle is the newest way to accessorize your water bottle. It’s cute, it’s practical, and it’s very 2025.
Vintage Charms: The Rejewel Difference
One thing that sets Silverwork Studios apart is our Rejewel up-cycled jewelry program. We believe in giving beautiful vintage pieces new life, and our charm collection includes dozens of one-of-a-kind vintage charms that you simply won't find anywhere else.
Choosing a vintage charm isn’t just about style — it’s about sustainability. Every up-cycled charm helps reduce waste and brings a little piece of history into your jewelry box. Plus, vintage charms often have a unique craftsmanship that you don’t see in modern mass production.
