Mini-charms: which one to choose?

In this age of XXL jewelry, the mini-charm is making a comeback, much to our delight. Trendy and charming, they are easy to wear and combine with costume jewelry. And we're talking small charms here, not sequin. What's the difference between charms and sequins? Small sequins are generally said to have a hole, while charms have a ring.
Very much in vogue on social networks, they can be seen regularly around the neck or wrists in the fashion photos of influencers like Caroline Receveur or Enjoyphoenix. Lena Mahfouf Aka Lena solutions and Lisa Germaneau have also succumbed to the fashion for these little pendants. They magnify them in their looks as the seasons go by. We'd love to steal their ideas and associations!

Mini charms come in all colors, materials and sizes: in gilded metal, gold- or silver-plated, epoxy resin, beads, mother-of-pearl... from the most discreet yet eye-catching to the flashiest.

They go perfectly with glass beads, gemstones, leather, cord... in short, anything goes! Practical, you might say, for jewelry-making...

But which of the countless varieties of miniature charms to choose? This sheet will help you find the one you need!

Miniature charms for lucky charms

Wearing a symbolic piece of jewelry around the neck or wrist is nothing new, dating back to ancient times. Charms were worn as stone or metal amulets for good luck or protection.
Today, mysticism is making a comeback, and has been seen on many catwalks over the past few seasons, in clothing as well as in jewelry and accessories. The third eye and thetree of life are increasingly popular patterns. We see them on bracelets and necklaces.

Bonjour Josette,

Pour les anneaux vendus à l'unité le diamètre et l'épaisseur du fil de l'anneau sont toujours indiqués dans le titre du produit et dans les caractéristiques.
Par exemple : https://www.perlesandco.com/Anneaux-ouverts-5x0.7-mm-dore-x50-p-83304.html avec un anneau de diamètre 5mm et d'épaisseur de fil 0.7mm.

En revanche dans le cas de breloques, de pendentifs ou de clou d'oreilles avec anneau ces précisions figurent soit dans le même tableau des caractéristiques ou bien en bas du texte de description comme dans cet exemple : https://www.perlesandco.com/Breloque-etoile-avec-anneau-ouvert-8.5x6.5-mm-Dore-x1-p-218031.html
