The Unparalleled Excellence Of Silver Charms By Rembrandt Charms

Rembrandt charms are perhaps one of the most sought after types of charms for charm bracelets and charm collections. This family owned company has been creating charms for over four decades, making them one of the best known of the charm manufacturing companies in the world.

One of the amazing things about true Rembrandt charms is that they come in a wide variety of metals besides having just about any design or theme you can image. Charms come in gold plate, 10 and 14k gold, white gold, and of course one of the most popular metals, the sterling silver charms. All silver charms as well as those found in the other metals are created in a unique process by the 100 employees that work for the company.

To start with each one of the gold or silver charms created by Rembrandt begins with an idea or concept. From a picture, piece of art, replica or real landmark or item a craftsperson designs a miniature, in perfect detail. The miniature replicas can be made out of any type of material including metals or wood.

The miniature, which looks just like the silver charms will when they are done, is then used to create a number of molds which are then filled with wax, which creates a wax model of the original sculpture. Many of these wax copies are created and placed on a board.

The board with the wax models is then placed in a container and the container is filled with a very fine type of plaster. This combination of plaster surrounding the wax copies is then heated or baked in an oven, causing the plaster to harden and the wax to completely dissolve. This is known as the Lost Wax Casting method because of this feature.

This plaster cast is now the final mold into which gold or silver will be added to make the beautiful and detailed charms. Once each charm is produced it still undergoes hours of polishing, detail work or even painting to result in the gorgeous gold and silver charms that the company is famous for.

It is hard to actually imagine styles of silver charms or charms of yellow or white gold that Rembrandt charms doesn't manufacture. Unlike many companies Rembrandt does not sell directly to consumers, but does offer charms and charm bracelets through local retailers.

Finding a Rembrandt jeweler in your area that sells silver charms, gold charms, bracelets and charm holders is easy as most jewelers do have the line. If they don't the Rembrandt website lists jewelers in different areas that sell this wonderful collection of gold and silver charms.
