Bronze, Magic & Movie Memories: The Story Behind Our New Labyrinth Jewellery

At Licensed To Charm, every piece of jewellery begins with a story — and our newest chapter brings something truly special. We are proud to introduce our brand-new Labyrinth necklaces, handcrafted in beautifully warm bronze and designed to be worn by every kind of fan: men, women and anyone who loves Jim Henson’s unforgettable world.

But this isn’t just a new material. It’s a shift inspired by craftsmanship, accessibility and the realities of a changing jewellery market.

Why We Introduced Bronze

Over the past year, the price of sterling silver has climbed sharply across the global market, impacting small designers, independent makers and customers alike. Traditionally, our character jewellery has always been crafted in sterling silver — a beautiful metal, but one that has become increasingly expensive to produce (and buy).

Rather than reduce the size or detail of our designs, Maggie — our founder and creative director — turned to bronze. And it turned out to be the perfect fit.

Bronze: Durable, Affordable, Beautiful

Bronze has a rich history in sculpture and fine craft because of its strength, durability and incredible ability to hold detail. For expressive characters like Ludo and the Door Knockers, that detail matters.

Here’s why bronze won our hearts:

• A warm, gold-like glow that feels bold and wearable
• Highly durable — perfect for everyday fans
• Affordable compared with rising silver prices
• Sustainable — longer lasting and lower-impact to produce
• Unisex appeal — suits men, women and everyone in between
• Exceptional cast detail, capturing sculpted textures beautifully

While some people believe bronze has metaphysical or healing benefits, these claims aren’t scientifically supported — and that’s not why we chose it. For us, it’s all about the craftsmanship, the feel, the detail and the accessibility.

Designed as Unisex Jewellery

For years, our customers have asked for more unisex pieces — jewellery that feels strong, expressive and wearable for men as well as women. Labyrinth feels especially right for this direction, with so many male fans, collectors and nostalgia lovers.

The 80cm adjustable cord gives these pieces a relaxed, versatile look that suits any style — whether layered or worn long as a standout focal piece.

Meet the New Bronze Characters

Our first bronze Labyrinth designs include:

✨ Ludo — gentle, loveable and sculpted with beautifully textured fur
✨ Left Door Knocker — expressive, ornate and full of personality
✨ Right Door Knocker — swirling hair, iconic ring and mischievous charm

Each one is handmade in the UK and officially licensed.

Bringing Magic to More Fans

By introducing bronze, we’re not stepping away from silver — but adding a new path. One that lets more fans own a piece of the films they love, without compromising on craftsmanship or design.

We hope these new pieces bring you joy, nostalgia and a wearable touch of movie magic.
