Welcome to Why This Works, a new Curbed column in which decorator and former shelter-magazine editor Alexa Stevenson looks point-blank at professionally decorated rooms and breaks down the elements that make it work.
One of the hottest new products in the world of Italian charms are photo charms or picture charms. Unlike traditional picture charms new photo charms actually embed the images into a clear enamel overlay. Set onto a stainless steel link or gold charm, the shiny metal provides a beautiful, sparkling background that shines through the image.
Photo charms are another great way to enhance your link bracelet. Besides putting your darlings name and birthstone, you can add an actual picture of them. The most common photo charms are those of people and pets, but they can also be used for other images including artwork, logos, and prints.
Photo, or picture charms, creates a long-drawn memory that you can take with you everywhere.
