Baby Charm Bracelet

While a baby shower is to provide gifts directly for the baby, this is sometimes a challenging if the child is the second, third or fourth baby in the family. It is very likely that Mom already has several of any baby items she may need, so you may want to consider something just for her but still with the baby as the focus. A great option is a collection of silver charms on a bracelet, a starting point for a celebration of the child’s life.

Starting out with the silver charm bracelet that you think will most closely suit the mother’s taste in jewelry is the first step. There are many options in charm bracelets and most silver charms look lovely on any style. There are highly decorative or more simplistic and elegant options available and you are sure to find just the right one.

The silver charms that can be added to the bracelet can really focus on any aspect of motherhood, babies or telling a story of the child’s life. If you don’t know if the baby is a boy or a girl, there are many neutral types of charms that are still very much in the theme.

A good rule of thumb is to give the charm bracelet with no more than five and no less than three silver charms. This allows the bracelet to be worn immediately and look balanced, while still leaving lots of links for charms to be added on in the future. Often the family will take up the tradition, adding charms for years to come.

Starting with the first part of the child’s life is a great option if you want to tell as story. This may include a birth certificate charm that the mother can have engraved after the baby is born. The initials of the parents are also a great addition.

Baby charms are a fun addition to the silver charm bracelet and can include little silver charms of anything baby related. A perfect idea is to have a small charm of baby shoes, a very traditional symbol for an infant in the family.

For other baby themed silver charms that add a touch of humor to the bracelet you may want to consider all the things that baby’s love. Rattles, highchairs, toys, dolls, strollers or even baby bottles are all good designs to add.

Space the silver charms along the bracelet in a balanced looking fashion. Don’t bunch them all together, but spread them apart to provide a symmetrical look to the bracelet. Remember there will be many more silver charms added over time, so spacing is important right from the start.
