CHARM SCHOOL: THREE SIMPLE STEPS
1. We start with a few questions to get to know you and the person we’re designing for. 14
2. Together, we’ll pick out the moments and stories that matter the most. 3. We’ll create your very own jewels to capture these moments in perfect miniature. P L AY. C R E AT E . C H E R I S H . C O M M I S S I O N Y O U R O W N T O D AY.

When you commission a Life in Charms we’ll create so much more than just the jewels themselves. They’ll be presented in a beautiful book with hidden compartments for each piece, and alongside them we’ll create a special scrapbook to tell the story of their creation – a time capsule to preserve those magical moments for generations to come.
