How to Build Your Story

How to Build Your Story

You may be asking yourself- there are so many charms- where should I start?

My name is Christy and I am one of the owners of Nomadés. I thought I would tell you my story, which may help you start yours. 

In 2009, when I was first introduced to these amazing charms, I wanted to get every single charm they had, which was about 10 at that time. But, being a military spouse with a budget, that was not going to happen. 

I was not a bracelet wearer at the time, so I knew the first thing I would need was a bracelet. I chose the classic lobster style bracelet.

Next, I had to decide where my story started-which was Texas, but we didn't have My Heart Belongs to Texas then, so I went with the next one who had my heart and that was my Marine husband.  I chose the iconic Marine Corps Emblem, but I went back and forth between that and the USMC Dog Tag. (Either is a good choice)

Next, I chose a pair of smart beads. Melissa, my neighbor and now business partner, explained that smart beads were little silver beads that had a silicone inset and worked liked book ends for the charms, so the charms wouldn't slide around on my bracelet. 

And that friends, is how I started my story. You don't have to buy all your charms at once- I like the idea of collecting little by little. Of course, we also won't stop you from buying all 12 of your duty stations at one time either. It's your story, you set the pace. We are just here to help.

One way we have done that is our Story Starter Collection. If you purchase one of our bracelets and one of our story starter charms (which include Gold and Blue Star Flag, Heart of America, Folded Flag and any of our Emblems and Dog Tags,) we will gift you your smart beads for free. 

Last, but not least, you can add one of our Mini Heart or Mini Star Twinkles on to your charm for more personalization.
