Music & Dance

Choose by how you want to wear it. A charm attaches to a bracelet or charm holder, while a pendant hangs from a chain. Many motifs here, like the treble clef, guitar and piano, appear in both forms, so pick the one that fits what you already own.

Metal, size and added stones set the price. 10K, 14K and sterling silver differ in cost, and larger or solid 3-D pieces use more metal than small flat ones. Diamond or cubic zirconia accents also matter. Use the Price filter on this page to set a budget.

Music note necklaces and instrument pieces lead the list. Cubic zirconia music note necklaces in sterling silver come first, followed by piano charms, electric guitar pendants and ballerina chain slides. Trumpet pendants, violin pendants and treble clef pendants also rank high.

It describes how the piece is built. A 3-D charm, like the saxophone or violin, has depth and is shaped on all sides instead of flat. Moveable pieces, such as the grand piano or drum sticks, have parts that shift when worn.

Wipe them gently after wearing and store them dry. Textured and diamond-cut surfaces collect oils and dust, so a soft cloth and mild soapy water work well. Keep silver apart from other pieces to limit tarnish. See our jewelry care guide for more.
