THE SEPARATORS

Their job: keep charms in their places on your bracelet.

Charms are, well, charming. They are fun to collect. Each one speaks to you differently, and each one tells a different story. 

The thing with them sometimes: they can be less than charming when they get in the way of life. Like when you are typing on a keyboard, which is what most people do now. 

That’s why local jeweller Carrie K. introduced the charm separator ($38) to complement its Bling Bar collection of penny and other charms. 

The 925 silver bead with an inner silicon O-ring comes plated in either rose gold or gold, or as is, in silver, to match (or not) your bracelet or charms. You slip it through the bracelet like you would any bead and the silicon, acting like a grip, holds it in place, which in turn keeps your charm(s) in place too.
