Charms & Charm Bracelets

Juicy Couture Starter Bracelet

Juicy Couture is probably one of the hottest designer brands for young women today, and their charm bracelets are highly sought after as gifts for birthdays, Christmas, and many other occasions. The reason is that they are more expensive than knockoff or generic charms and bracelets, and young people typically have a hard time affording these on their own.

The bracelets come in 14k gold plate, silver plate, and gold and silvertone metals, with the gold bracelets commanding the highest prices. Many have the very popular toggle clasp or a secure lobster clasp.

Juicy Couture releases new bracelets and charms themes regularly, and many are sold as a complete set all ready to wear. They also sell by the piece, with bracelets and charms sold separately so you can build your own custom bracelet. The complete sets are popular, and often a set will increase in value after it is “retired” because buyers missed getting it when it was new. Juicy Couture charms and bracelets are released several times per year, so there’s always something new available.

Because Juicy Couture charm bracelets are so popular and tend to be higher priced (a single charm can sell for $30+ from an authorized dealer), the marketplace is flooded with knockoffs, fakes, and replicas of Juicy Couture pieces. While some people may not mind buying a knockoff Juicy Couture piece for a low price, most people want the genuine article and not the fake. The problem comes with the price… they want the original but aren’t willing to pay the price it typically goes for!

There are some ways to have the best of both worlds: getting an authentic Juicy Couture charm bracelet at a reasonable price. You need to do your homework though.  One way is to check out the Juicy Couture counters at reputable stores like Nordstrom’s, Saks, Neiman Marcus or Bloomingdales to become familiar with the look and feel of genuine Juicy Couture jewelry, as well as the typical prices for high-end stores. Your goal is to find authentic pieces but at a discount to what these luxury retailers sell them for!  Then you can turn your shopping online and find reputable dealers of authentic Juicy Couture merchandise. These dealers will offer the best prices available, because the marketplace is so competitive. However, you will not get something for nothing, so be realistic.

Here is a very helpful guide on how to spot knockoff or fake Juicy Couture jewelry. The author is an authorized dealer of Juicy Couture products and offers excellent advice along with pictures to help you spot the fakes. Of course, if you don’t care about authenticity and only care about cheap price, then you’ll know what to look for too! But if you want to have the real deal for yourself or for a special gift for someone, take time to learn about what’s real and what isn’t.
