This lovely charm was announced in the 2009 Holiday Mini Catalog but was placed on hold due to quality assurance problems. Well, the issues all been worked out and now it's available for you and me to order.
Simply Adorned charms (116799, $21.95, p. 28, 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog) are like lockets—they open up so you can insert your custom stamped image. The frame surrounds tempered beveled glass on the front and flat glass on the back. There’s glass on both sides of the charm, so you can display an image on one side or both. You can create a custom heirloom piece that you’ll never want to change, or you can swap artwork in and out, depending on your mood and your wardrobe. Charms are also great for holding photos or for use as ornaments.
The Charming stamp set, a catalog 'write in' (116519, 19.95, p. 32 of the 2009 Holiday Mini) along with Rub-Ons, glitter, ribbons, and other embellishments, can help you create your unique charm insert. And don’t forget that you can embellish the chains with ribbon, felt flowers . . . the possibilities are endless!
Here are a few samples shared by Shelli Gardner, Stampin' Up!'s co-founder and CEO at last year's Convention in Salt Lake City. Mind you, these were taken from my seat way in the back of the auditorium looking up at the large screens so we could see what was happening on the stage.
If you were one of THE LUCKY ONES at Convention, you won this charm (above) made by Shelli and her daughters! Sadly, I wasn't one of the lucky ones and I've had to wait till now to be able to order my 2" x 1-1/2" charm so I can make my own. I'll share it in a few weeks.

Use clean water and a cotton applicator to clean the jewelry surface. Do not use alcohol or other chemicals to clean your jewelry as they will damage the finish.
I've just ordered my 1-1/2" x 2" Simply Adorned Charm and can't wait to receive it and then adorn it. You bet I'll be sharing it!
