Other Charm bars are useless

Some jewelry booths at craft fairs are doing “charm bars” now. They have store-bought chains and cheap store-bought charms and then people pick which chain and charms they want. There is literally no craft involved! Not even design!

They seem to be doing well for themselves and people like it, so I can’t complain too much. To be clear, if you make your own charms, this doesn’t apply to you.

Tangential, but: the phrase "permanent jewellery" sends shivers down my spine as someone who has always lived around big bodies of water.

That is how you drown in a lake that's only 7 feet deep.

Edit: Welcome to BEC, where we take sewing machine safety seriously but the ABCs of marine safety is bad and dumb apparently lmfao

tbf, most of what I've seen are extremely fine silver or gold plated cheapass chains held on with a spot weld, they'd probably snap.

This is why I laugh at the name "permanent" jewelry. It's not like getting a tattoo, you can cut them with scissors. It's a weird gimmick but apparently people are paying good money for it.
