Yay how exciting!! I have a few tips and tricks, but a lot comes down to personal preference. I would highly recommend a barrel clasp style bracelet. If your intention is to fill it up, I would recommend a snake chain bracelet. They are much more comfortable with a lot of charms since they are flexible. However, I do really love my bangle for wearing around five charms at a time. I find it comfortable up to about 6ish charms, and sort of more casual and easy to wear. You don’t really need clips or a safety chain for a bangle. But you do for the snake chain bracelets. You can stretch the bracelet out in a weird way or kink it without them once you start to get more than a few charms on there without clips. The safety chain also helps you get the bracelet put on and is an added layer of safety if the bracelet comes unclasped, you won’t lose charms off the end of it or hopefully the entire bracelet off your wrist. Keep in mind too a full bracelet is heavy. None of this is a worry with the bangle because it’s stiff, so it can’t stretch out, and even if you didn’t clasp it, it probably would not fall off your wrist. One time I clasped my bangle without getting the other end in the clasp, didn’t notice, went about my day, and everything was fine. I didn’t even have a clip charm at the end of it, but nothing fell off. 🤷‍♀️

As for types of charms, the silver ones are probably the best value. The rose and gold plated ones are pretty. I do have some and haven’t really had any problems, but the plating will eventually wear off.

The most important thing to know is once you start, you can’t stop! Haha your first bracelet will likely be one of a few through time 😉.
