Charming Charlie – San Diego

Terrible customer services
There were a guy sales there and he said how are you and I responded good and then he said «
Good whatever» what kind of attitude is that ?
And then he just keep talking to the other sales person
Super unprofessional
Will never come back to this store

I was here with my sister in August and we both loved the fabulous selection of jewelry, very nicely displayed. We both bought some and I’ve worn what I got a number of times and been very happy with it. So you would think 5 stars, right?
A couple months ago, a Lucky and Glamor magazine showed up for me. Weird, I wouldn’t order these and thought I’d better check into it. I forgot until another issue showed up along with a bill on my credit card. I called the number my credit card had and they said I had enrolled at Charming Charlie– for a free copy then I had to call if I didn’t want to subscribe. Now I remember them asking if I would give some personal info, like email and phone number for alerts and such but there was NO mention of magazine subscriptions. My sister wisely didn’t give them her info although they pestered her for it. The magazine subscription company gave me a refund without hesitation and apologized that I didn’t know I’d signed up. Still, that is no way to run a business. Apparently this happens at other Charming Charlies– google it and you’ll see.
I will never buy from them again. If you do, make sure you don’t give them any personal information.

SO glad they have one of these in San Diego. It isn’t the easiest place to get to, but once you get there it is costume jewelry galore! All organized by color which makes it easy to find what you want. I love their bag-​in-​bag purses… they are so versatile! It can be a bit overwhelming to sift through ALL of the jewelry, scarves, and purses, but I can always get a great find! Would highly recommend it for inexpensive costume jewelry!

This place has tons of cute accessories. You can find anything you want here. Obviously, you’re not buying for quality (two earrings I bought broke on the first wear), but if you’re just looking to supplement your wardrobe, it’s great.
I’ve been twice though and both times I had to scour the store for an employee. When you’re in a rush, the last thing you want to do is stand at the counter for a few minutes hoping a cashier will be there soon to help you. I don’t know if it’s the norm, but it has been in my experience. I just wish they paid more attention to whether a customer needed to check out. Also, they don’t have any boxes – what kind of jewelry store doesn’t have boxes? At the very least, they could have them for sale so you can quickly package a gift.
These issues aside, I do see myself going back plenty.

This place is a costume jewelry collector’s HEAVEN! If you walk into this store and leave without finding what you’re looking for, then you’re too difficult to please. They have so many styles in one room… I can spend half the day looking around and still not want to leave. I have so many outfits that need accessories… and this place makes me want to go buy more outfits!
The jewelry is arranged by color, each one having its own display table. You can find necklaces, earrings, ensembles, bracelets, rings, watches, hats, scarves, handbags, clothing (limited selection), shoes… and so much more. Drag queens would lose their minds over the rhinestones in this place, as well. No joke. And the best part??? It’s all so affordable, you won’t believe your eyes! Not to mention the huge selection of clearance items that makes it almost impossible for you not to find something you need.
Seriously… go check this place out. Also, sign up for their mailing list and they will send you discount offers in the mail! I recently took advantage of a deal that offered $ 25 off a purchase of $ 70 or more and got a lot for the money. At checkout, the clerk handed me yet another card with even more savings for my next visit!
I LOVE this place; I go every chance I get.

I am beyond in love with this store the jewlery is at a great price, its quality stuff and best of all its organized by color ! jewelry scarves belts, some shoes, purses you name it !
They also have a sale rack where I picked up multiple peices for $ 7 a piece
I cant wait to wear my new jewelry I just ordered a new necklace tree i ran out of room!
Join their loyalty program they will email you your reciept how convient!

Love this place! Everything’s arranged neatly and separated by colors. Makes finding accessories really simple and easy. Everytime I come here, I give myself only 10 – 15 minutes stay else I’ll end up buying the whole store. Their styles range from cute to elegant and even got matching clothing and bags too. I really like their new nautical line. Plus, in the back, they’re got huge sale racks. The people working here are nice too.

I came in here for the first time last week and I’m in love! Super cute accessories in every color and style you can think of for some seriously low prices!
The sales girls were all very nice as well:)

Endless amount of bling bling organized by colors and styles. I dont give 5 stars because it is too massive for me to digest. I prefer smaller boutiques where the items are kind of hidden and you have the feeling of finding treasures that no one else will wear. Here you see 20 pieces of the same item, but that is also the good side of this store. You like a long necklace with an owl in it and want the same because you want to give one to your niece, another to your daughter, another to the neighbor and that coworker that always makes you smile? Then you can get for sure all the same pieces here and everybody will be happy with great memories plus you won’t spend too much.
From outside, it looks like an expensive store (very bright, huge space, tons of inventory, everything properly displayed, nothing is out of place and even the store smells good). You dont even have to fight with any other customer because, as said, you will get several pieces of the same item, so no ‘discovery factor’. It can be overwhelmed, but the sellers are very nice and willing to help. If you are in a hurry and let say you have to go to a ‘roaring 20s party’ then look no further. Go to Charming Charlie, ask for what you want and get going to that event. That simple.
Do not miss the back area of the store, is where all the deals are placed. So many cheap earrings, no ugly stuff here.

If you are person who loves to accessorize this is the place! There is a huge selection from head to toe! I was overwhelmed when I went inside, but I appreciate that they separated everything by color! Super organized, which is a big plus!
Yes, ladies there is actually a «bling» section, which I thought was very clever of them, because all the items there were blinding because of the shine. =]
The prices here are not that expensive and the bags here are so different and unique rather than what we usually see at Forever 21, Claire’s, Love 21… etc.
Service here was excellent! They were very welcoming as well as willing to help you find what you need for whatever occasion you may be attending!
*For those of you who love to save… there is a clearance section in the way back to the left!

This is my favorite accessory store. There are quite a few of these in Houston, I was surprised when I found it here. Not a very broad selection that the ones back home.

«shine bright like a diamond» was my thought exactly when I walked into this store. Their accessories are kind of on the pricier side but their quality makes up for them. I got my Vegas pieces here and they have SURVIVED! I definitely can appreciate good quality accessories compared to the overpriced cheapy made in china that you’ll find at forever 21. PLEASE OPEN A STORE IN THE BAY AREA!!!

I’d never even heard of Charming Charlie before. I’m pretty sure that I never would’ve stepped in here, either, if I hadn’t been with a friend who practically screamed when she saw the store as we were heading down the escalator.
If I had to describe Charming Charlie, I’d say, «It’s like So Good Jewelry, only SO much better.» Indeed, they have the same kind of costume jewelry that you’d get from So Good, but the pieces look like they’re a better quality.
The best thing about Charlie is that the store is open, bright, and completely devoid of the eye-​searingly horrific décor (zebra carpeting and neon pink, fabric-​covered walls) of So Good. Plus, the people are friendly, willing to help, and always available.
The store is laid out by color, so if you’re going in looking for something to match with your purple dress, you can just make a beeline to the purple section, and you’re bound to find something there. If you find something that you like in the purple section, chances are very good that they’ll have the same thing in the green section, or the pewter/​silver section, or the red section. I kind of loved that about this place, though the variety of baubles made it difficult to decide!
There’s a clearance section at the back of the store (near the registers), but they also put clearance items in the color-​coded sections. You just have to look for that red tag to find them.
In addition to the jewelry, they carry clothing (dresses, tops, etc. The prices are fair, but with The Closet one level up, I’d rather stop there for cheap clothes, and here for everything else), shoes, purses and scarves, and everything is really competitively priced.
This is definitely one of those stores that I’m happy to have found, and one that I’m eager to share with friends and family (the last one being the aforementioned The Closet). In fact, my sister-​in-​law is a rabid So Good Jewelry fan, and I’m excited to bring her to Charming Charlie to see if I can sway her to leave her So Good days behind. Seriously, choosing between Charlie and So Good, with the selection, service and store design taken into consideration, Charlie wins every time.

VISUAL OVERLOAD
glitter and sparkles everywhere, accessories of all shapes, colors and sizes all for a reasonable price.

OVERWHELMING amount of accessories!
Located next to Nordstrom’s, this is a one-​stop shop for all your party needs.
VARIETY: Although an accessory store, they also had a small selection of shoes and clothing that would compliment your accessories. Nice selection of bags as well, both casual and upscale for parties, although no brand name stuff.
PRICING: It looks fancypants from outside, but everything was decently priced and won’t burn a hole through your skinnies. I found a super cute teal clutch for only $ 20. Although. some stuff was oddly more expensive despite having the same look and quality as its surrounding neighbors.
SETUP: Super organized. Everything was separated by color. Sale section was off to the back. It’s easier to shop if you already have an outfit in mind.
Glad we stopped in here. Glad I also had my shades since it was insanely blinging all over the store.
