Chamilia Bracelets and Necklaces

We offer Chamilia bracelet sizes in 6.0 inch (lobster claw only), 6.7 inch, 7.1 inch, 7.5 inch, 7.9 inch, 8.3 inch, 8.7 inch, 9.1 inch, and 9.5 inch and Bangles in Medium, Large, and X-large.

Bracelet Sizing Guide:

Small Wrist:

• 6.7" = petite/child
• 7.1" = very small
• 7.5" = small–medium

Medium Wrist

• 7.9" = medium–large

Large Wrist / Full Bracelet

• 8.3" = large to x-large
• 8.7" = x-large
• 9.1" & 9.5" = x-large to xx-large

To ensure you choose the right size bracelet, it is best to measure your wrist. A good method is to use an existing bracelet that allows you to put two fingers between your wrist and the bracelet — leaving enough room to fill your bracelet with charms. Alternatively, you can wrap a piece of string around your wrist, allowing enough room to place two fingers between the string and your wrist, and measure the length of the string.

How to Use a Snap Chain Bracelet

When using a snap chain bracelet, thread beads on by twisting each one onto the chain in the desired order and finish with a lock. Most often, locks are placed on each end of the bracelet to prevent movement of the beads; however, they can be used in other unique ways to create the final desired look.

How to Use a Lobster Claw Bracelet

When using a lobster claw bracelet, thread beads on by twisting each one onto the chain in the desired order and finish with a lock. Like snap chain bracelets, locks are placed on each end of the bracelet to prevent movement of the beads; however, they can be used in other unique ways to create the final desired look.

How to Use a Bangle Bracelet

Chamilia also offers bangle bracelets that have a twist/lock design that is easy to open and secures the Chamilia beads on the bracelet. Simply push in the Chamilia end piece and rotate a half turn to open. The end piece should pull off easily.  Round locks are included with the bracelet.

How to Use a Toggle Bracelet

Each toggle bracelet has a removable end that is easy to open and secures the Chamilia beads on the bracelet. Simply twist the end off and thread beads on by twisting each one onto the chain in the desired order. Once completed, replace the end piece by twisting it back on. Most often, locks are placed on each end of the bracelet to prevent movement of the beads; however, they can be used in other unique ways to create the final desired look.

Standard Necklaces

Chamilia offers chain necklace styles in various sizes that include:

• 16.6", 17.4", 19.7"
• Chain necklaces use the same threading technique as the bracelets.

Traditional Drop Chain Necklaces

Chamilia offers traditional drop chain necklace styles in 28 inch and 36 inch.

With drop chain necklaces, the beads are interchangeable and there are multiple ways to string the beads and wear the necklace, giving customers many ways to reflect their personal style. To assemble the traditional drop chain necklace, simply slide beads over both ends of the chain and drop to the hanging pendant to create the desired look.

Hanging Choker Necklace

1. Slide beads onto a 36" drop chain necklace as if creating a traditional necklace.
2. Place each end of the necklace around the back of the neck, and simply pull the beaded end of the necklace through the loop of the opposite end to create a shorter style of necklace.
3. The dangle length can be adjusted as needed. This is a great option to display the beads with a variety of necklines.

Short Necklace

1. Slide beads onto a 36" drop chain necklace as if creating a traditional necklace.
   
2. Place each end of the necklace around the back of the neck, sliding half of the beads to each side.
   
3. Pull only the pendant through the loop on the other end to secure it on the neck.

Tassel Necklace

The Tassel Necklace is 925 Sterling Silver and comes in 28" and 31" lengths.  With it’s interesting texture, this necklace is timeless and easily personalized with Chamilia beads. The slide functionality offers versatility to the look as well by allowing beads to be added or removed. The removable tassel has popcorn and box chains.

Designing Your Special Jewelry

Design your bracelet or necklace by a STYLE, THEME, COLOR or a combination. A good starting point can be to select a bead that will act as the centerpiece for the bracelet - such as a handbag, mom bead, birthstone, etc.  You can combine 3-4 styles for a strong visual appeal.

Assembling Your Jewelry

Thread beads on by twisting each one onto the chain and finishing with a lock. Most often, locks are placed on each end of the bracelet to prevent movement of the beads; however, they can be used in other unique ways to create the final look you desire.

There are many ways to assemble your jewelry to create different looks.

• Repeat Pattern - Choose a series of 3-4 beads to repeat for a well structured, balanced look.
• Focal Point - Select one bead to act as a central focal point.
• Random - Choose your beads and place in any order for a whimsical touch.
• Spacers  - Spacers are an inexpensive way to add to your bead collection and bring interest into your pattern.

How do I care for my jewelry?

Chamilia charm jewelry is very special and must be cared for properly.  Our silver and gold beads are treated to resist tarnishing, but sometimes they need a quick touch-up. To do so, we recommend using a silver polishing cloth.

Do not use liquid silver polish as it removes the oxidization off the beads and bracelets. It is also recommended that you remove your jewelry before coming into contact with water, hot tubs or pools, as exposure to harsh chemicals can alter the appearance of your Chamilia product.
