Beauty of the Beasts has over 300 original dog Italian charm designs (and that doesn't even include the titles!) We have dog breed charms, dog agility, earthdog, field, herding, rally, tracking, rescue, and many more. Because our customers keep suggesting such great ideas, we add new charm designs all the time.
Our Italian charms are beautifully produced in full color with a hard, high-gloss finish. Many of our designs are on 9mm square charms with a larger image area, allowing for much more detail than the typical 9mm charm, but FULLY COMPATIBLE with a single regular 9mm bracelet. (Our bracelets at the top of the page show a mix of 9mm regular and 9mm square charms.) We add new designs constantly--please email us to request current design sample sheets for any of the following activities and themes: Agility, Herding, Hunt and Field, Flyball, Obedience and Rally, Earthdog, Dock Diving, Tracking, Freestyle, Conformation, General Dog Themes, Dog Paws, Memorial, Therapy Dog, and Rescue, also for several specific breeds including Australian Shepherd, Bernese Mountain Dog, Border Collie, Border Terrier, Belgian Malinois, Belgian Sheepdog, Belgian Tervuren, Cocker Spaniel (both American and English), Doberman Pinscher, French Bulldog, German Shepherd, German Shorthaired Pointer, Golden Retriever, Jack Russell Terrier, Labrador Retriever, Papillon, Parson Russell Terrier, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Rottweiler, and Shetland Sheepdog. We also have title charms on several different background colors (more information on title charms follows after the thumbnails).
We also carry 18-link starter bracelets with embossed paws for only $8 per bracelet, available in both shiny and matte finish. Starters are perfect if you want to buy a gift for a friend who doesn't have a bracelet yet--just add a couple of colored charms and your shopping is done! A starter bracelet is also a useful add-on if you are buying a megalink, and don't have enough links to complete your second bracelet.
Please click here to email us if there's a favorite Beauty of the Beasts slogan or design you would like to see on a charm, or to inquire about custom photo charms of your dogs, family, or anything else. If you've seen one of our charms at a show that we don't have online yet, just drop us a line and describe it and we will probably be able to figure out what you're looking for.

We also do versatility titles, CGC, TDI, and TDIA certificates, and even titles from other countries. Just drop us a line and let us know what you need!
Lori Michewicz had been making title charms for us in her distinctive style, and has kindly given Beauty of the Beasts permission to continue creating them ourselves. Several color backgrounds are available.
Deep blue gradient (cobalt blue blending to dark purple)
Deep purple gradient (magenta to dark purple blend)
Teal gradient (cobalt blue to deep green)
Fire gradient (bright orange to yellow)
Rainbow gradient (indigo blue through green and yellow to red)
Titles can be done on regular 9mm photo links for $12, or double-length superlinks for $18. (Titles longer than four or five letters will show up better on superlinks.) All charm types shown on our website are compatible with regular 9mm bracelets.
CUSTOM CHARMS--TEXT AND PHOTO
We offer custom full-color charms with your dog's name (or any text you would like). Drop us a line to request our custom design sheet featuring a wide variety of styles and sizes. Custom text charms can be done in any size for an additional charge of only $3.
We also offer custom photo charms. We can do headstudies at the 9mm square size for $20, and headstudies, full body, or action shots at the megalink size for only $25. (Megalinks are double the height of a regular 9mm bracelet and link two bracelets together, replacing two regular links on each bracelet.) Price includes cropping and reasonable photo adjustments.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Caring for your charms is easy--just polish occasionally with a soft, dry cloth. They are stainless steel, and will not tarnish like sterling. Substances such as jewelry cleaner, nail polish remover and oils from food or cosmetics may dull the finish of your charm, and should be avoided. The designs will not be harmed if your charms get wet, but avoid excessive water with any charm to keep the spring mechanism inside from being affected; also avoid twisting the base diagonally, which can weaken the bond between base and charm top. If you are new to Italian charms and need instructions for adding and moving links, we'd be happy to send you a pdf of our FAQ (it includes demonstration photos with and without a charm tool). We sell charm tools for $3... or ask an experienced friend for help.
