Chamilia Bracelet
Anyone have one of these? Anyone have any Disney charms? My DH and children got one for me for Mother's Day. I am not a jewelry person but I love this bracelet. I received one charm with each child's birthstone, two locks, the Dreams Really Do Come True Charm, and the Fairy Godmother.
I am curious to hear from anyone that has had one for a while and how the bracelet and charms have held up with daily wear. Any favorite Disney charms? |

I haven't heard of that brand but I just looked it up and those Disney beads are too cute! I think I may have to send DH that link...
I really liked the character ones - Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Donald. I like the spacers with the Mickey heads too.

I have the Pandora bracelet but the Camilla charms fit on it just fine--I found that out when my MIL got me the "dreams really do come true" bead for Christmas last year.
I am very happy with mine and love the ability to "personalize" it with beads and charms that have special meaning to me. After wearing traditional dangle style charm bracelets I have to say I find this one to be less cumbersome without so much hanging down to catch on things etc. but even at about half full they can get a bit heavy so I guess every thing has its trade offs. I am not likely to wear this on daily basis but I do wear it frequently and hubbie loves that when all else fails for gift ideas he can add something to my bracelet!

I have the Pandora bracelet, but Chamila charms fit on it. Last year I bought one that had pinkish gems shaped like a Mickey head. They sell them in the bigger gifts shops in Disney World. They had quite a few different ones.

I have the Chamilia bracelet. I love it. Most of the charms from Pandora and Chamilia are interchangeable. Once in a while you find one that isn't. Currently I have the pink murano Minnie charm, an eeyore charm, a hanging tinkerbell charm, a cinderella's carriage charm, and a mickey head spacer. The last two I was excited to purchase on my last trip to disney. The spacer is great because they are cheep too, only cost me $15 for that one, I am sure I will get a coupe more. As far as wear, I haven't noticed any, and I have had mine for 1.5 years. I only wear it once a week or so though. My only issue is that the dangling tinkerbell charm can get caught on stuff sometimes. So I may eventually sell that one on ebay and get a different one. Overall I love it though!

Oh we call those Individuality Beads!!
I had to Google what you were talking about to know if we had gotten this past trip to Orlando. I did actually get a couple charms but only one was really Disney. It is silver with mouse ears. I am looking at the site and notice a limited selection but when I went to the store they had a case full of them, more than what is showing on the site. Were they not all Disney or "name brand"? I am really glad that Disney got these beads because I love my ever-growing collection of individuality beads and being able to swap out my beads to match whatever outfit I am wearing for the day!

I also have a pandora but have the Disney charms on it. I'm debating whether to start my DD (8) on one so each time we go she can add a bead. She already has a FULL traditional charm bracelet with all the National Parks we have been to already so I figured this would be a "different" bracelet.
