Aquarius Zodiac Sign
January 20 - February 18
Element: Air
Quality: Fixed
Ruling Planet: Uranus
Symbol: Waterbearer
Keywords: Eccentric, Intellectual, Aloof, Progressive, Friendly
Unconventional and outspoken, Aquarius is the rebel of the zodiac. Aquarians tend to be eccentric in their speech and behavior, often drawing attention to themselves. Equality, freedom and fairness are important to this individual and he or she has a genuine interest in humankind. An aloof and detached nature is characteristic of this sign and he or she feels most comfortable relating to people on a mental level. Aquarius needs a partner who is her or her intellectual equal and who is willing to provide freedom and space.

Virgo Zodiac Sign August 23 - September 22
Element: Earth
Quality: Mutable
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Symbol: Virgin
Keywords: Critical, Methodical, Helpful, Modest, Diligent
Virgo possesses a critical, modest nature. The Virgo person is extremely hardworking and conscientious and has a tendency towards perfectionism. These unassuming people are content to live in the background and may prefer a job where they work in a behind-the-scenes capacity. They have a tendency to want to “fix” people and are often critical of loved ones. There is also a tendency to worry too much and this zodiac sign is prone to stress-related illnesses. The Virgo person expresses affection by doing things for others, rather than actual physical displays of affection.

Ideas and How to wear
What I like best is the versatility of the charms. Below is a heart watch charm on a bracelet. Then pictured right below is the heart watch on a necklace. I have added more charms to make a cluster. The fun thing is to add different charms that you may already have. You can also add charms to chains that you already have. Create a look that is all your own. Layer different chains together. They don't need to all be matchy ,matchy or charm necklaces. I add a few necklaces together that I have made with a few that I have bought going for the layered look. Have fun be creative.
Below is a 21" chain with a 1x1" charm with the key to my heart mini charm. Then I added the locket watch charm. I pulled the chain through the circle toggle. I had a bunch of chain hanging down to add the charms. I fixed the chandelier charm above the circle toggle so the chain won't slip up and I end up with a choker (unless that is what you want)
Below is the 39" stainless steel chain. Here I have wrapped it around twice. I added 2 mini charms and a locket watch charm. I love this look.

Then right below is the same chain at it's full length. I added to it the key to my heart mini charm and the true love charm. This one is one of my favorites.
