1. Birthstones and Letters
Birthstones can represent the birth month of children, pets, husband, fiance, family member, and more. Letters can do the same thing, picking the first initial of someone special.
2. Dog Paw
Charms like the dog paw are a great way to represent a dog you have, lost, or loved.
3. Crosses and Virgin Mary
There are a few charms in my collection that you can choose from that can represent your faith.
4. Places you’ve visited or love
Charms can represent a lot of things, even places! A cactus can represent Arizona, a seashell can represent your favorite beach, a starfish can represent your memorable tropical vacation, and so much more.
5. Lock and Key
This duo can represent a friendship or a relationship that is a perfect fit - just like a lock and key!
6. Moon, Star, and Sun
If you’re a celestial or astrology lover, these charms would be a great addition to your charm necklace.

My charm necklace is a great example of unique personalization. Check out the reasons behind all of my charms below!
+ The cactus represents my home, Arizona.
+ The October birthstone represents my daughter.
+ The peace and love charm has a dual meaning for me. I grew up dancing and my dance teacher always used this symbol on your t-shirts and I even had a decal on my first car with it. I danced for over 20 years with her and it always reminds me of my dancing days. I also love everything with peace and love.
+ One of my friends and I have always loved bows. This bow charm reminds me of my friendship with her.
+ I love to see a rainbow after a storm - love the beauty of them - so the rainbow charm was a no brainer.
+ The May birthstone represents my son.
+ I have a golden retriever named Lily and have always loved dogs, so I chose the dog paw to represent her. Retrievers are my all time favorite. We've owned multiple retrievers and have always been the sweetest breed.
