For Chamilia, the principle is simple: Design is different here! The company was founded in 2002 on the premise of putting design into the hands of the customer. Killian Rieder, a former designer with fashion icon Polo, wanted this brand to be personalized to allow women to change and customize it to fit the mood, moment or occasion, like a chameleon that changes in its environment.

Chamilia was launched with a line of handcrafted beads of Italian Murano glass, colored stones, 14k gold and sterling silver that pair with beautifully designed companion bracelets, bangles and necklaces. The result is a fresh, contemporary twist on the richly remembered charm bracelet.

Today, Chamilia is fast becoming the “it” brand in the rapidly growing customized jewelry category. The company has a growing collection of 600+ beads and a successful Disney® partnership with an exclusive collection of authentic Disney beads not available anywhere else.

 

Instructions for Cleaning and Care for Beaded Jewelry Products

For cleaning, simply use lukewarm soapy water - that is the best. Use a soft toothbrush to scrub the jewelry and then rinse in clean water.  To remove caked-on dirt, soak for 10 minutes in lukewarm soapy water, gently brush and then rinse in clean water.  For a shinier surface, you can consult with The Gift Cottage to arrange for an in-store cleaning. You can polish your jewelry with a silver polishing cloth available for sale at The Gift Cottage
