This is a great idea for a charm collection, thanks for sending in your photo and descriptions, Jessica. When you've done some more globetrotting, we'd love to see your showbox completed...
I tend to lose jewelry so I have instead made a showbox, here is my collection. My goal is to get at least one silver charm in each new country I visit. Some places make it necessary to get more than one. I try to find them in the city or country of origin but this can sometimes be tricky depending on time and availability, thus I have marked the ones I purchased from Silver Star Charms. I have also added a key if you are interested in knowing the specifics of each charm, but you do not have to share this.
I love your selection of charms. It is the best I have found in quality, detail and selection.
