How often don’t we go out in a shopping spree only to come back home with at least one item which was NOT on the shopping list in the first place? Let’s be honest, it happenes to most of us :-) And quite often this extra, ultra special item that stole our eyes and hearts is a piece of… jewelry. Be it a gold jewellery, a silver charm, a costume jewelry or just a hand made trinket, they do attract us like a magnet.
Often it is the design that steals our eyes, some other times it is the quality that shines through the display window… Either way, let’s admit it: in a woman’s life (and heart!) there are so many reasons that demand that unique piece of jewelry. Be it a rainy morning or a special social event where we really wish to stand out… only to discover that we wear the same jewelry with someone else… Just like each and every woman is unique, she longs, needs and deserves to wear an exclusive jewelry; something no necessary expensive, but 100% original, distinctive.
For this reason the jeweler which is capable to offer original, one of its kind design will always be in high demand. In these modern days of fast foods, rush hour and gadgets; deep down in our hearts we long to draw up some sort of boundary, let our unique personality shine through: thus looking out for distinctive accessories.
Who are these jewelry manufacturers who know just how to create exclusive hand made jewelries just for us, women? They are the Master Artisans from the Island of Murano, in the Venice lagoon, Italy. Their glass products (not only jewelries, but home décor, lighting solutions too) are appreciated all over the world because of their beauty, quality and prestige. Through an alchemy of minerals and fire, right out of sand crystals, the Murano Glass is born with its endless colors and shades. The moment when Murano Glass jewelries come to life from the talented hands of the glass artisans is a magical one, their gifted hands melting and twisting the glass, giving it new shapes as if in a dream.
The layers of glass are twisted and combined in a fantasy of colors only o create the colorful Murrine, millefiori or thousand flowers that are later applied in refined silver or gold frames, creating the original Murano beads and pendants.
All in one, Murano is the place where, right through the centuries, the secrets of the hand crafted glass have been carefully passed on from father to son.
Using the best quality silica for their Murano glass, drawing fresh inspiration from the lightness of nature and the rich colors of the Italian spirit, using creative designs and the latest innovations in esthetics, these talented Murano manufacturers hand craft unique, out of this world pendants, necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings, pouring into the glass a piece of their passionate Italian spirit as well. The Murano designs are not objects of the past, but true creations of the latest contemporary style.
The romantic Italian soul shines through each and every Murano item; with love as the secret ingredient, the Murano jewelries will for ever surprise, ignite one’s imagination and stand out in admiration.

What do you do with a piece of jewelry that someone has given you that is not to your personal taste? If it’s not something you would wear, do you just leave it in your jewellery box never to be worn? Some of you might think it’s a touch rude to sell a charm that was gifted to you. If you are someone who loves jewelry, particularly Pandora charms and jewellery, you may have received more charms than you need or want. Maybe you have received the same charm twice? Do you have just a few charms to sell or perhaps you’d like to sell your whole charm bracelet altogether. At Trade Your Charms we believe there are valid reasons to sell your authentic designer, pre-loved charms and other quality jewellery if it is not to your personal liking.

Pandora and other on trend designers including Thomas Sabo, Tiffany, Trollbeads, Biagi, Chamilia and Lovelinks create edgy, interesting pieces that has us all sitting up and taking notice of jewellery in a new, much more interested way. It’s like a breath of fresh air. One of the secrets of Pandora’s success is their price structure. Charms range from as low as $30, an affordable amount for most. The Pandora explosion has created new sub industry. Beads, formerly relegated to the “craft” range are suddenly the must have piece.
