Gold Charms from Africa

Gold charms for a charm bracelet – African animals and masks as gold charms. Available in 9ct gold, 14ct gold and 18ct gold. The charms are made by South African goldsmiths and are solid gold – not plated or hollow.

Many gold charms today are hollow or plated in gold – not great for long time wear – this is done because of cost – seems like cheap and nasty to me. Many people have inherited gold charm bracelets from their mothers – and they keep adding gold charms to the collection. One day they will pass the gold charm bracelet on to their daughters – adding a cheap charm, or a hollow charm spoils this as they will not last. Most hollow charms cannot be repaired – so rather buy a solid gold charm  and have something that will last. An alternative to a charm bracelet is the Kruger coins bracelet with elephants – expensive but stunning! The zimbabwe bird is part of a series of 5 African charms from around Africa.
