WE ARE
Hi, I'm Ana Maria! Charm Bar Chicago is my little corner of the city where you can get creative, celebrate something special, or just make yourself a piece you'll love. As a proud Ecuadorian and Latina small business owner, creating a space that feels welcoming and full of connection means so much to me. Most days you'll find me behind the counter with my grandma and our shop dog. We love getting to know the people who walk through our doors and helping everyone create jewelry that feels personal to them. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, we can't wait to have you!
Watching my mom build her own business as a solo entrepreneur inspired me to believe that I could create something of my own. A few years later, while traveling through Italy, I discovered a small charm jewelry shop where I created my own bracelet. I loved how personal and meaningful the experience felt, and I came home inspired to bring that same feeling to Chicago. Today, my mom and I co-own and operate Charm Bar Chicago, where we get to help others create meaningful, personalized jewelry every day.
THE INSPIRATION
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a space where creativity, connection, and culture come together. We proudly source charms and jewelry from small businesses and artisans in Ecuador, sharing their talent with the Chicagoland community while supporting the makers and craftspeople back home.
