About this Experience
What you'll do:
Pick Your Chain: Choose a base bracelet or necklace in 18K Gold PVD or Sterling Silver. Try it on and see how it looks before you commit.
Browse the Charm Collection: Our curated display has three tiers of charms to choose from. Symbol charms ($10), detailed charms ($15), and birthstone or letter charms ($20). Mix and match as many as you want.
Build Your Piece: Once you’ve picked your charms, we assemble your custom piece right in front of you in 2-3 minutes. Watch your necklace or bracelet come to life charm by charm.
Take It Home: Your finished piece goes into a gift bag, ready to wear or gift to someone special. Every piece is one of a kind because you built it yourself.
We also bring our permanent jewelry station to every event for guests who want a bracelet welded on forever. Both experiences run side by side, so your group gets the best of both worlds.
We come to your hotel, Airbnb, venue, or home with the full setup. All you need is a table. We handle everything else.
Why we love it for your party:
Everyone can participate. No age limits, no commitment required, no one sits out. Kids, teens, adults, gift shoppers. The charm bar works for every single person in the room.
It’s creative and personal. Your group isn’t buying something off a rack. They’re building something from scratch that tells their own story. Birthstones for their kids, initials of their best friend, a butterfly because it means something to them. Every piece is different.
It’s the easiest activity you’ll ever plan. We bring the entire setup. You don’t source anything, organize anything, or clean anything. Just tell your group to show up and start picking charms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the charm bar?
A build-your-own jewelry experience. You pick a base chain (bracelet or necklace), choose your charms from our collection, and we assemble your custom piece on the spot. Everything has a clasp so you can take it on and off.
What charms do you have?
Three tiers. Symbol charms like butterflies, stars, moons, and hearts ($10-$15). Birthstone CZ charms for all 12 months ($20). And letter charms A through Z ($20). You can mix and match across all three tiers.
How many charms can I put on one piece?
As many as you want. Most guests choose 2-5 charms per piece. Our bundles are designed around the most popular combinations.
Is the charm bar good for kids and teens?
Perfect for them. There’s no welding involved, no age restrictions, and kids love picking their own charms and watching us build their piece. Great for birthday parties, mother-daughter events, and family celebrations.
Can I also get permanent jewelry at the same event?
Yes. We bring both the charm bar and our permanent jewelry station to every event. Some guests build a charm piece, some get welded, some do both. Everyone is covered.

What metals are the charm bar chains made of?
18K Gold PVD (durable, tarnish-resistant, hypoallergenic) and .925 Sterling Silver. Both are high-quality and built for everyday wear.
How long does the charm bar take per person?
About 5-10 minutes total. 3-5 minutes browsing and picking charms, then 2-3 minutes for us to assemble the piece.
Can I build a piece as a gift for someone who isn’t there?
Absolutely. This is one of the most popular reasons people visit the charm bar. Build a custom necklace with your mom’s birthstone, your sister’s initial, or a meaningful symbol and take it home as a gift.
Where do you travel?
We’re based in Fairfax, Virginia and travel across Washington DC, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, and Maryland. We come to your hotel, Airbnb, venue, or home. No travel fee within 30 miles.
What do we need to provide?
Just a table. We bring the full charm bar display, chains, charms, tools, gift bags, and cleanup.
Does the guest of honor get anything special?
Yes. The birthday girl, bride, or guest of honor receives a complimentary charm with their piece.
What is your cancellation policy?
A non-refundable deposit is required at booking. Cancellations more than 48 hours out may be rescheduled. Cancellations within 48 hours forfeit the deposit.
