Choose Your Charm Material & Style:
Choose from Sterling Silver, Plain Edge Stainless Steel, or Fancy Edge Stainless Steel. Sterling silver is our most popular choice for customers who prefer a traditional fine-jewelry option, while our stainless steel styles offer beautiful, durable alternatives at a more budget-friendly price. The Plain Edge Stainless Steel charm is our standard/default option and is reflected in the starting price shown on the listing. Please review the differences below before selecting your charm style:
STERLING SILVER
Approximately 15.9mm (5/8 inch) round and made from 22-gauge sterling silver. Each charm is laser engraved and then hand polished using our unique three-step polishing process, including a final polish with a tarnish-resistant polishing compound. We do our best to achieve a beautiful, mirror-like shine. Because each sterling silver charm is individually engraved and hand polished rather than mass produced or machine polished, you may notice very faint polishing lines or swirls when viewed closely. These subtle variations are part of the handmade finishing process. Your finished charm is securely attached to the connector style you select.
PLAIN EDGE STAINLESS STEEL
Approximately 15mm (9/16 inch) round and 1.1mm thick. This classic stainless steel charm features a simple, smooth edge for a clean and timeless look. Each charm is laser engraved, carefully cleaned, and securely attached to the connector style you select.
FANCY EDGE STAINLESS STEEL
Approximately 19mm (3/4 inch) round and 1.5mm thick, with an engravable center area of approximately 15mm. The decorative outer edge gives this option a slightly more detailed and jewelry-inspired appearance while still providing the durability of stainless steel. Each charm is laser engraved, carefully cleaned, and securely attached to the connector style you select.
Choose Your Attachment Style:
European Charm Bead Band – Made from the same metal as your charm with an approximately 4–5mm opening designed to slide over the end of most European-style bracelets. The band is securely attached to the charm. Band style/design may vary slightly based on availability. This option also works beautifully as a necklace pendant.
Clip-On Lobster Clasp – Made from the same metal as your charm and securely attached. The clasp opening is approximately 4mm. A versatile option for attaching your charm to traditional charm bracelets, zipper pulls, purses, gym bags, backpacks, graduation tassels, keychains and more.
Round Jump Ring – An approximately 6mm round jump ring made from the same metal as your charm. The ring is intentionally not welded closed, allowing you to open it and attach the charm directly to your bracelet or other item.
Kennebug Original Design. Made to order in our Michigan, USA family-run studio. Everything is either engraved or printed when you order — no mass production, just fresh made-for-you pieces.
Since these items are made to order and usually personalized they are not returnable unless there is an error on our end.
Please Note – Natural Characteristics of Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a highly reflective metal, so its appearance can change significantly depending on the lighting, surroundings, and angle from which it is viewed. Our product photos are taken using professional studio lighting and a white light tent to provide clear, detailed images. Because the metal reflects its surroundings, it may appear brighter, lighter, or more “white” in our photos than it does under normal everyday lighting.
The visibility and darkness of the laser engraving can also vary depending on the angle and lighting. At some angles the engraving will appear darker and more prominent, while at others it may appear lighter due to reflections from the metal.
Our stainless steel pieces are not machine polished after engraving. The metal typically has a natural satin/dull stainless steel finish and may contain fine surface scratches or light marks from engraving, cleaning, and handling. Attached components such as keyrings, charms, connectors, or birthstones may also create minor contact marks during assembly or shipping.
These variations and light surface marks are normal characteristics of our stainless steel products and are not considered defects.
