It's Your Story... Express it with Charms!

Check out the new craze at Caroline & Company... Charm Necklaces!!!

Funky, rustic charms with an old world monogram script, this personalized jewelry is fabulous! Choose your initial then tell your story with anything from a four leaf clover (lucky) to a peace sign.
A Ragin Cajun student may want a silver fleur de lis, her initial and a red charm bead. A new mommy might want her child's initial, birthstone and a cross. I chose the cross, my initial and a pearl (love pearls), then after my wedding I will pick up the Green Bead which symbolizes an Emerald for May, the month we will marry. Yeah!!! Pick and choose what ever charm fits you... It's your story.
Charm beads make a great birthday gift, graduation gift or a little sussie for yourself... because you deserve it, of course. To purchase visit http://www.carolineandco.com/.
Available in silver and gold. Charms are made of pewter, and have been custom plated in either 14K gold or sterling silver.

Personalizing your Gifts...


Customers always ask questions about Monogramming... How should I monogram this robe for my friend or this towel for a couple getting married? So here are a few suggestions...


3 Letter Traditional Monogram - The woman's last name initial is in the center and larger than her first and middle initial. Her first initial is first and middle initial last.


Example: Anna Catherine Smith ASC


3 Letter Traditional Monogram - Also used for married couples or soon to be married couples, their last name centered and larger than the couple's first name initials. Traditionally the female's first initial is placed first and the male's last.


Example: Caroline Elizabeth Smith & James Lewis Smith CSJ


3 Letter Monogram - Traditionally for a male, the letters should be places in the order as his full name.


Example: Phillip James Smith PJS



1 Letter Initial - Choose either the first or last name initial, it's up to you. From past experience the first initial is commonly used on spa robes/wraps, jewelry, handbags, baby items and other women's accessories. Last name initial is more commonly used on glassware, candles, stamps and embossers.


Hope these suggestions were helpful.


Have a great day! :)
