European Style Beads & Bracelets

Posted on May 18, 2011 by Angie

European Style Beads At the Charm Factory, you’ll always find a huge selection of traditional sterling silver charms and charm bracelets. Recently, we’ve added more European beads as a less expensive alternative to Pandora, Chamilia, Biagi, Troll and others. The sterling silver Luv Links or the new lead free pewter Luv Links fit any of those branded bracelets. Some even allow you to add any charm as a dangle on the bead.

Our latest addition is silver tone, lead free pewter alphabet beads to match the larger European style beads. You won’t find these beads anywhere else – and they are made here in our factory in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

To add some color, glass lampwork beads are wonderful. We carry over 100 styles, from birthstone colors to beautiful floral patterns. These beads are very affordable, and you can easily make a bracelet to suit your mood or as a great gift. Buy one of the silver tone bracelets, and the end screws off for easy access to add your choice of beads. Even easier, you can choose one of our ready made beaded bracelets that are shipped complete.
