What Makes Our Charms Different?































Let's start with the history of bottle cap necklaces.....From countless hours of research we have been able to date the use of bottle caps to WW2 when kids would collect old bottle cap tops and decorate them and use them as necklace charms for girls and pins for boys. We have even found that there were "how to" sites all over the web on how to create magnet bottle caps dating back to late 1999. It is pretty simple to look up if you do a simple search "HOW TO MAKE MAGNET BOTTLE CAP NECKLACES". Funny thing is that there is a company who claim they invented the idea in 2007. This certain company which we will not name even went as far as to go on major media television shows claiming they invented the idea and have a patent pending. A little hard to believe.......
This brings me back to my title "WHAT MAKES OUR CHARMS DIFFERENT?". Since we have been designing bottle cap charms since 2005 we have decided to take an old idea like the magnet bottle cap and update it. How did we do this? We now have custom shapes (circles, daisies, hearts, and stars) made to our specifications. Since we have all the software and equiptment to design the faces we have the ability to offer and have produced custom charms for different teams, schools, and companies. In addition to the cool trendy shapes which no one else carries we also use a process which coats the top of the face and when dry leaves a glass like finish. Oh and did I mention that we also updated the attachment that sits on the chokers to attach the magnet charm to? As stated before anyone can find and produce the steps in the "HOW TO MAKE MAGNET BOTTLE CAPS" but it takes practice and skill to produce the high quality of charms that we produce. All of the charms are produced here in McKinney and a great deal of attention is placed upon the craftmanship of each charm. Listed above are are some of our designs...
