Chamilia
Earrings and Company has joined the bead frenzy! We added Chamilia to our line up in November and what a great response we’ve had. Chamilia is a competitor of Pandora charm bracelets and necklaces. Pandora is the brand most widely known because it has been around much longer. We chose Chamilia for two reasons: 1- it is family owned and operated in America (Minneapolis to be exact) and 2 – the bead designs are intricate, fresh and bright.
All the beads are designed by Killian Rieder, the founder and owner. Although the sterling and gold beads are made overseas, the amazing glass beads are made in Atlanta, Georgia of Murano canes imported directly from Italy.

Cyndi – you can view the Chamilia beads we have on our website: http://shop.earringsandcompany.com/Chamilia/Silver%20Beads.html To view other kinds go to “products” “Chamilia” and scroll through the types. We bring in new just about every week.
Chamilia is completely compatible with Pandora. Some of our customers who have both Pandora and Chamilia say they like Chamilia for the silver’s cleaner brighter look and the variety of colorful glass beads. Pandora bead designs tend to have more oxidation on their silver beads so they have a darker look. It’s all a matter of preference!
You can also visit Chamilia’s website here: http://www.chamilia.com/us/en/. You cannot purchase there but if you see something you like and we don’t have it we can always order it for you.
Have fun!
