Following years of the reign of dainty, delicate jewelry trends, extravagant accessories are back. “Quiet luxury” was everywhere a couple of years ago, but now the pendulum has swung towards the opposite direction — dressing over the top. Think: New money. Loud luxury. Maximalism.
Ushered in by microtrends like the “mob wife aesthetic,” maximalist dressing took over our feeds in 2024. The 2023 stealth wealth trends of Sophia Richie and “Succession” were overshadowed by leopard prints, reds, designer logos, and big, chunky jewelry. Dressing started to become more fun again, and self-expression is officially back in.
Recent jewelry trends — like ‘80s-inspired gold earrings and chunky bangles — reflect this ethos, and now, it seems that charm bracelets are making a comeback. Popular through the last several decades (raise your hand if you had a charm bracelet in middle school), the classic chain link charm bracelet has gone through a few iterations. And now, there’s a new player in the charm bracelet game — Canvas Style, which recently launched its new Charmed collection.
Canvas Style Charm Bar
Canvas Style makes adorably playful, whimsical jewelry for any occasion — from blinged out pieces for holiday ‘fits to resort-inspired vacation accessories and themed jewelry for every holiday from Halloween to Mother’s Day. And now, they’ve launched their highly anticipated Charm Bar, a collection of over 200 charms with necklace and bracelet bases. You’ll find simple, classic charm motifs like initials, birthstones, and hearts, all the way to super niche offerings like a bowtie pasta charm, a little mushroom, and an enamel cowgirl hat. The line even includes a collection of NCAA officially licensed charms for 29 teams. Get ready for game day with a charm supporting your home team, or add your team’s charm to a bracelet among other symbols that each provide a little peek into who you are.
You’ll get to choose from Canvas Style’s collection of bases, too, to showcase your new charms. Bases range from dainty, gold-plated chains to colorful beaded options that make a statement. Or, you can opt for something a little more understated with one of their trendy gold necklaces, like their rope or paperclip necklaces. The custom-designed bases have charm holders with hinge closures so you can easily add and remove charms without needing to reach for the toolbox.
Don’t want to think about mixing and matching? Then choose one of Canvas Style’s premade charm necklaces and bracelets. They take the guesswork out of creating your own assortments, and tend to follow cohesive themes.
With their approachable price points and total customizability, the charms and their accompanying bases make for personalized, thoughtful gifts. But be warned: you’ll probably want to snag something for yourself, too.
