A wrapped jewelry assembly, which may be worn as a bracelet or necklace having removable elements enabling personalization is provided. The accessory may include a length of fabric, polymer, or metallic cord, at least one replaceable charm formed as a disk having a decorative face, and a clasp configured to aesthetically link any ends of the cord. A plurality of channels are disposed parallel to one another along a backside of the charm to threadably receive portions of the cord in order to maintain such cord in a wrapped configuration. Resilient rubber or polymer stoppers are disposed within each channel or alternatively placed to flank such channels to prevent the charm or charms from freely sliding along the cord.
