We have some box link bracelets with 10mm links.
Kerry wants to put 4 charms on each and every link.
I think that is overkill. Since these are for sale eventually, what do the
buyers/makers of charm bracelets think?
TIA

It depends on how heavy it would be in the end. I prefer charm bracelets
with tons of stuff but not too heavy.

Hi, Armand. I think it would depend on the type of "charms" Kerry
wants to use. Will they be base metal or pewter? Those type would be
*completely* overloaded 'charm' bracelets are selling on eBay lately.
At least the ones I've watched - and not the ones that have only one
charm or bead per link... think GOBS of beads per link. :)
I've made a few overloaded/heavy bracelets in my time. I made one
that was a 'Carmen Miranda' type bracelet - all glass fruits and glass
leaves wirewrapped and then linked onto one of those 3 *strand (*wrong
word- mentalpause) ... anyway, it's those expandable watch type
bracelets with 3 rows of holders. I sold it after only a few months
to a woman who appreciated the uniqueness and lightheartedness of the
piece. :) That was also a heavy bracelet; the weight came from the
glass and also the weight of the expandable bracelet, but it was a
charming piece.
I've also made a positively gorgeous 'charm' bracelet that is set onto a
simple link chain. I absolutely adore it and want to keep it for my
own - that's why it's in a gallery right now priced as $240.00. Like
Kerry wants to do, I placed 4-5 wirewrapped small beads onto each link
of the bracelet. In this case, I used Bali Silver beads & headpins,
Sterling Silver beads, real Coral Chunks & Chips, real Turquoise Chunks
& Chips, along with numerous misc. Sterling Silver plated Indian bell
beads. It jingles fantastically!
Summary... let Kerry give it a whirl!!! If nothing else, she's gonna
have a lot of fun making it, not to mention completely mastering her
wire-wrapping skills. :)

I agree, except I wouldn't use all charms. Charms and beads or gemstones
together will probably let the charms show better.

Personally, I like them very full. It's a lot of work, but the result is
gorgeous. Just make sure to vary the length of the dangles.
