Charms are small decorative and themed elements that
are often used for bracelet and necklace projects, but can also be used for
earring and mixed media designs. Sometimes, items carrying sentimental or
emotional value, like special gifts from a loved one, may also fall into this
category. They are available in a wide range of popular shapes and themes including animals,
hearts, flowers, letters, holidays, and more... With so many
options available, charms offer an easy way to personalize a design and to
create countless variations.
From the 1950s charms were now given to girls and young
women who were celebrating a special moment in their life, particularly their
16th and 18th birthdays but they also started becoming gifts to
celebrate events from engagements to graduations. Charms and pendants were
created to represent and celebrate many occasions and symbols such as
horoscopes. Charm bracelets for women also became popular in the Roman
Empire as a way for Christians to reveal themselves to other Christians. By
hiding tiny fish hooks in their jewelry or on their clothes, these Romans
defied the law to show that they were fishers of men.
They have continued to evolve and since around 2002
their designs have changed to reflect trends and styles as you can find a lot
of them now in the style of beads, which can be made from gold, silver and a
glass-type material. Different colors and patterns have been introduced giving
you a huge amount of choices to personalize your bracelet.
What are Charm Bracelets Made of?
Usually, the bracelet is made from strong materials that
last the owner a lifetime. This is because charm bracelets are meant to be kept
and cherished forever, and breaking or losing them is completely out of the
question. Hence, the bracelet itself might be either sterling silver or gold that’s
typically worn around the wrist. Individual jewelry charms can be attached to
it, with new ones being added as time passes, marking different occasions
significant to you.
I think charm bracelets should be shared and cherished! Sharing
a charm bangle with a loved one, best friend, or family is a great way to add
memories and even create them! If you’ve ever had a Best Friend necklace,
you’ll remember how special it was to share something with someone you cared
for. You can instantly personalize a piece of jewelry by adding an initial
using a letter charm. You can also use charms with birthstone colors or
meaningful designs to create a custom piece. Make numerous variations of a
project by using different charms. Pair sterling silver charms with sterling
silver components (or gold filled with gold-filled) to create high-quality
jewelry. You can create one-of-a-kind pieces by mixing and matching charms with
beads, chains, cords, and other components.

ReplyDeleteI've always liked rose gold. That one charm bracelet looks like a daisy, and it made me smile, as daisies remind me of my Mom. That was interesting to hear about the Roman women who wore bracelets back in time as a way to signify that they were Christians. The key with the heart bracelet is so pretty too.
ReplyDeleteHave a good February week.

This is so adorable. I'm a huge fan of charm bracelets and even rings. I think it adds a lot of style and some ZING to otherwise plain accessories. This is a great Vs day gift idea that I would love getting!
