Charms & pendants · Brass & Copper
Charms are the cheapest way to add a second purchase to a first one, and the easiest to get wrong on the jump ring. We specify size, weight, attachment and how your mark goes on.
Range
MOQ 30 pcs per design for brass & copper. Size, weight and attachment on every spec line.
A small cast brass coin charm with a jump ring, plated in gold, rose gold or rhodium. It is the cheapest way to add a second pendant to a chain, and charms are the cheapest way to raise average order value — the customer who buys one chain often adds two charms. The relief is cast, so a small face still reads.
A small cast brass star charm with a jump ring, plated in gold, rose gold or rhodium. It is a merchandising piece as much as a design one: it costs little, it attaches to a chain the customer has already chosen, and a customer who buys one chain will often add two charms. Casting keeps the points of the star clean at a small size.
Charms & pendants
A charm is a small object with a hard job: it has to hang straight, hold its finish where it rubs against a chain, and attach in a way that does not open. The attachment is where cheap charms fail, so we specify the jump ring or clip on every line rather than treating it as a detail.
Size drives the price more than anything else, because in brass & copper the material cost tracks the volume of metal. A 6 mm disc and a 25 mm medallion are not the same product with a different drawing — they are different weights, and the smaller one is where you make a margin on add-on sales.
Material
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Skin contact | Unplated copper or brass can leave a faint green trace — plating and a lacquer coat prevent it |
| Feel | Heavier than 316L for the same volume |
| Detail | The material for filigree, rope, open-work and heavy texture |
| Findings | Stainless steel posts and backs optional for sensitive ears |
| Charm size | What it suits |
|---|---|
| 6–8 mm | Add-on sales, engravable initials, layered with other charms |
| 10–15 mm | The volume size: readable alone, still light enough to layer |
| 18–25 mm | Medallions and statement pendants; sold as the focal point of a chain |
| Clip-on vs jump ring | Clips cost more and sell better — the customer can move the charm without pliers |
