It’s Friendship Day | Here’s How to Celebrate

29th July 2023 Astley Clarke

International Friendship Day is just around the corner which means it’s the perfect time to celebrate with your bestie. We have free charms in our offer and friendship bracelets to win plus plenty of inspiration on how to treat those special friends.

Long voice notes, ridiculous memes, bullet-pointed life updates in our Notes app to be discussed over dinner. The list of everything we love about our friends goes on and on. It might be that group of girls you’ve known forever, the fellow frazzled mum you met in the park last year or your very own mum. Whoever your people or person, friendship is the thing that keeps us going through the highs, the lows and the in-between bits.

Here at Astley Clarke we spend a lot of time thinking about friendship, creating special jewellery to help you show some love to your special people. That’s why we thought it was only right to mark Friendship Day with a little celebration of our own. This weekend we’re giving you a FREE charm* with every charm bracelet purchased. The perfect way to start your collection or treat a friend.

SO HOW DOES IT WORK?

1. Select your charm bracelet. Choose from classic gold and silver or meaningful gemstone styles to suit your mood or your friend’s style.

2. Pick your favourite bracelet charm and add to your basket. There’s over 100 pieces to choose from.

3. Head to checkout and your charm will be included free in your order.

WHAT’S THE LINK BETWEEN JEWELLERY AND FRIENDSHIP?

Jewellery has long been associated with friendship, particularly friendship bracelets, from the tribes of central and South America to Ancient Roman soldiers who wore bangles as lucky tokens. Ancient legend has it that as you tie a bracelet onto the wrist of a friend, that friend can make a wish. Now that’s a tradition we’ll definitely be getting on board with this Friendship Day.

WHICH BRACELETS MAKE THE BEST TOKENS OF FRIENDSHIP?

This is so personal to you. You know what your friend likes and ultimately, they’ll love what you choose for them. If you need some inspiration, we like to gift personalised jewellery to special friends, like a meaningful charm bracelet with symbol or engravable charm. There are lots of ways to create a personal piece, including our online charm builder. We love the chunky square link bracelet jangling with meaningful gemstone, initial and motif charms. Or matching gemstone Biography bracelets can be special for both of you, each holding one special charm.

FREE CHARM THIS WAY

WHICH CHARM SHOULD I CHOOSE?

There are over 100 charms to choose from, including gold and silver. So you’ll find something perfect. We like the idea of picking something memorable that will remind a friend of a memory, their birthstone or if you go for matching bracelets, why not wear each other’s initials?

Remember you have until midnight on Monday 31st July to choose a FREE charm* when you buy any charm bracelet. Happy bracelet building…
