5 easy steps to create your own necklace with meaningful charms

Nobody knows what you need more than you do. Nobody understands exactly what it's like to be who you are. So when it comes to deciding what to do next or how you should approach the circumstances in your life, you are the best one to make that decision. Sure, seeking wise counsel from a loyal friend, sibling, or parent is often a good thing, but in the end, you are responsible for yourself and your happiness.

Often, we can forget ourselves, so we need to be reminded of who we are and what we are here to do. You could do this in several different ways. Some people get inked, designing tattoos that hold significant meaning. Some keep a journal, writing their own affirmations and personal mantras. However, we have an alternative we think you’ll love.

Create your own ombre wash necklace

Our ‘Today I Will’ collection offers customers the opportunity to create their own customised pendant necklace and beaded bracelet with our exclusive word charms to express their hopes, dreams and passions.

How does it work? Let's get started!

1. Choose a metal

Are you a bright silver kind of girl? Maybe you’d rather wear classic vintage gold? Or do you like something a little more gritty? Something like vintage copper?

2. Choose a colour 

What colour feels like you? What colour reminds you of home? The Arctic Ocean? Bright forest blend? Golden Skies? What colour suits your skin tone? Mauve? Apricot? Ruby Red? What do colours mean to you?
You could go with what you feel a colour signifies or just the colour you like. With the choice of ten unique colour shades, it's as simple as deciding for yourself.

3. Choose a word charm

Then, once you’ve chosen your favourite metal and a design, it's time to choose a word charm from our ‘Today I will’ or ‘standard’ word charm collection. I’m not going to lie. This is our favourite part. We love it when women choose a word that empowers them to be uniquely themselves. How do you choose? Here are some questions to consider.

What do you need to do? Write (...that book)? Teach (...those kids)? Trust (...again)?

What things do you need to remember you are good at on days when you doubt yourself? (Can you...) sing? (Can you...) run? (Can you...) dance?

What kind of life do you wish to create? What do you wish to spend more time doing? Dream? Relax? Explore? All charms serve as fantastic self reminders to be what you want to be, do what you want to do, yeah!

 4. Choose the best length

And finally, the last step to creating your own Ombre wash necklace is deciding whether you would like any extra customisations such as extending or shortening the length of the necklace or choosing additional charms. 

But wait, there's more! 

5. Pair it with a bracelet 

Why not pair your ‘Today I will’’ necklace with a bracelet. Yep, you heard right. You can create your own bracelet with a word charm in rose gold or bright silver. Choose from 4 bracelet stone colours: rose quartz, matt black onyx, turquoise or white marble howlite in our beautiful chunky 10mm bead. The perfect piece of jewellery to gift a close a friend and why not yourself?!

So what are you waiting for?

Take the first step to affirming who you are or what you will do. Set the path, stay the course, and continue to become beautifully you.
