Simply Charmed: 23 Natural Diamond Charms to Shop this Fall
Charms are the perfect purchase to begin or elevate your natural diamond collection.
Diamond charms have made their trend-cyclical return this summer and have found their way onto “it girls” like Gigi Hadid, on handbags, adorning the wearer’s necks, wrists, and even ankles. Charms last had their moment in the early 2000s when almost everything you owned needed a dangling memento. For jewelry collectors, charms are one of the easiest ways to build on or begin a collection, especially natural diamond charms. These sparkly embellishments make for an excellent gift or self-purchase, especially if you are traveling or celebrating one of life’s big moments and want a token to remember the occasion by.
Perhaps you are feeling sentimental about how quickly summertime comes and goes and never want it to end. Consider charms inspired by the sand and sea, like Dezso’s Coquito Polki diamond charm, to always remind you of the joys of summer. On the other hand, if you are ready to embrace all autumn has to offer, we present you with whimsical charms inspired by celestial forces such as Erica Molinari’s Enamel Moon and Diamond Frame Charm to help transport you into the witchy season. If you are looking to add a unique design to your assortment or begin your charm collection with something outside of the box, consider Marie Lichtenberg’s diamond Dado Ebony Dice charm. The best part about charms is mixing, matching, and collecting over time, so let this guide serve as inspiration for your next purchase(s).
Ocean Amulets
Summer always seems to disappear in the blink of an eye, but as the seasons begin to change, you can carry the essence of the beloved summer solstice with you every day with these natural diamond charms. As a kid (and as an adult), one of the best beach activities was searching for the perfect seashells. Sometimes, you got lucky and found a special shell with a hole in it that you could thread a piece of string through it and wear around your neck. If you were really lucky, you’d find a shark tooth or a starfish.
To emulate these ocean trinkets, without the labor of looking for them in the hot sun, try natural diamond charms like Jessica McCormack’s Hello Sailor Starfish Pendant, or Jenna Blake’s Diamond Sunrise Seashell. For that coveted shark tooth, consider Jacquie Aiche’s Pavé Shark Tooth charm. Renna Jewels’ unique Gustavia Pendant is a great addition or centerpiece on your favorite chain or bracelet. If you’d rather spend your time on land, look to EF Collection’s Diamond Palm Necklace Charm, or if you enjoy swimming in the sea, Era Gem’s Antique Diamond Sea Turtle charm will remind you of the ocean’s beautiful creatures.
Whimsical Talismans
The transition between seasons, particularly summer to autumn, symbolizes many things, one of which is new beginnings. The planets shift, the weather changes, and we enter a period of change, and it’s important to have a grounding force. Jewelry has served as protection symbols for centuries, and the power of a natural diamond, as Earth’s hardest substance, can be considered as a talisman on its own, but these natural diamond charms incorporate the sun, the moon, and the stars, and bring upon their own luck.
Heather B Moore’s Channel Set Diamond Horseshoe is guaranteed to bring luck, while John Hardy’s Evil Eye Pendant with natural diamonds and Lapis Lazuli will bring protection. The celestial forces inspired Catbird’s Twelve Stars Zodiac Charms along with Mason and Books Stable Moon Pendant and Foundrae’s Balance Exhuberent Medallion Pendant. For a little extra sparkle inspired by the stars, try Ashley Zhang Firmanent Rose Cut Diamond Pendant. To reconnect with nature, consider Eriness’s Diamond Butterfly Charm, Gwen Barba’s hand painted Dogwood Pendant, or Sydney Evan’s Diamond Celestial Mushroom.

Playful Adornments
Whether you already have a natural diamond collection or are looking to build it with unique and interesting designs, look to these playful charms that you will treasure forever. From a pop of color in Boochier’s Jumbo Fruit Hoop Pendant, to Jade Ruzzo’s Cymbal Pendant with an antique diamond, these charms are worn best on any chain of your choosing. Some charms embody tasty treats, not meant to be eaten, but rather to adorn your jewelry. Mociun’s natural diamond Banana Charm as well as Venyx’s Croissant Charm are excellent additions to a stack. Harwell Godfrey’s Salt Shaker Charm is full of natural diamonds that replace salt crystals. If you need a little extra love, Alice Pierre Birthstone Heart Pendant does just the trick. There are also charms to symbolize your furry friends, like Adina Reyter’s English Bulldog Charm. Since charms are so versatile, consider collecting them all and wearing them together or mixed and matched.
