About this Experience

What you'll do:

You pick a chain, browse a curated charm collection, and watch your custom necklace or bracelet get assembled in front of you. From the first charm to the finished piece in a gift bag, the whole process takes about 15 minutes per person and works for every skill level, every age, and every taste.

  • Pick your chain: Choose a base bracelet or necklace in 18K Gold PVD or Sterling Silver, try it on before you commit, and swap it out if something else catches your eye.

  • Browse three charm tiers: Symbol charms start at $10, detailed charms are $15, and birthstone or letter charms are $20, so guests can build something simple or go all out.

  • Build your piece: Once you've chosen your charms, Taylor assembles your custom piece right in front of you in two to three minutes, charm by charm.

  • Add permanent jewelry: A welding station runs alongside the charm bar at every event, so guests who want a bracelet welded on forever can do that too.

  • Take it home: Your finished piece goes into a gift bag, ready to wear that night or give as a gift to someone who wasn't there.

The charm bar and permanent jewelry station run side by side, so your group gets both experiences without splitting up or waiting on two separate schedules.

Why you'll love it for your party:

  1. It works for every single guest: Kids, teens, adults, and gift shoppers can all participate without any experience, any commitment, or any pressure to spend the same amount.

  2. Every piece tells a different story: Birthstones for their kids, a best friend's initial, a butterfly because it means something to them. Nothing comes off a rack.

  3. Zero planning on your end: Taylor brings the full setup to your home, Airbnb, hotel, or venue. You supply a table. She handles the rest.

  4. It becomes the activity: The charm bar gives guests something to do together without anyone sitting out, making it a natural anchor for bachelorettes, birthdays, and bridal showers.

  5. - Prices are transparent up front: The $40 per person booking covers the base chain. Charms are chosen and priced in the moment, so guests stay in control of what they spend.

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.
