13 Pieces of Grown-Up, Girly Charm Jewelry That Require No Assembly—Starting at $36!

By Roxanne Fequiere & Vivienne So

There's something about the messy-blingy-eclectic look of an old charm bracelet that feels so right nowadays. Part heirloom, part haute couture, the best options look as personal as they are powerful. Luckily, a few of our favorite jewelry designers are giving charm jewelry a major style upgrade, stringing unique pendants like poker chips, compasses, and even religious paraphernalia onto bracelets and necklaces. And starting at just $36, it's high-time we gave these cheeky baubles a fresh spot in our wardrobe.
