1. What in the heck is a Glabel or a Wine Charm?

Decorative rings with unique charms that help identify each person's glass and avoid confusion: they attach to the stems of wine glasses (see example), coffee mug s (see example), beer mugs (see example), margarita glasses, soda or beer cans (see example) or Styrofoam cups (see example) wherever your imagination allows. No more deciding if that's your lipstick on the rim!

2. Where do Wine Charms come from?

No one knows for sure where the idea of personally marking wine glasses with rings originated, but karen's kreations has raised it to an art form and a means of personal expression.

They are made from a polystyrene plastic. Each charm is hand drawn and colored when ordered.

4. What makes karen's kreations unique?

1. All of my charms are INDIVIDUALLY HANDMADE. No two are identical. We have different charm themes available for use during the year. We can do almost anything you can imagine (or we can imagine) -- but we will NOT do anything obscene- to include profanity and obscene pictures.

The charms are 1 1/8" - 1 1/4", We also do earrings in 3 sizes- 1 3/8", 1 1/4" and 3/4". Sizes are approximate due to the nature of the materials used and do not include actural ring or earring wire.
