There Is No One Modern Way to Wear Charms

The POV of Thomas Sabo’s new Generation Charm Club collection: Charms are as good with other jewellery as they are on bracelets.

“What I love about this Thomas Sabo collection is that it is edgy, yet sophisticated.”

The days of wearing your charms only around your wrist are not over; they’re just, um… boring. Thomas Sabo’s new Generation Charm Club collection has a proposal: With 260 charms – some in XL sizes – designed to be worn any way you want (on necklace chains or cords), any way you like (try varying lengths), and with every piece of jewellery you have. Y’know, change things up a little, or a lot.

One charm, many ways

Made in sterling silver or plated in 18K gold, the charms can be transferred from bracelet to necklace. Mix and match: small with big, bigger, or even XL ones (alternating the different sizes is a better idea than not). The XL charms are also designed as drop earrings that don’t have to match (even better when they don’t). Wear them as a pair or as singles.

Modern layering

The experimentation doesn’t stop there. In the same way we layer our clothes, we can also layer necklaces to create different vibes.

Wear a choker for the ofFIce. Add a longer necklace after work. For the weekend, wear two long necklaces – one a chain, the other a cord – for a casual feel.
