Bodacious Baubles: Charm Bracelets
One of the best ways to express your individuality and creativity is through a stunning Italian charm bracelet adorned with trinkets of gold, silver or glass beads. These fun accessories have long been a fashion classic, but today, charm bracelets are bigger, bulkier and more beautiful than ever.
Charm bracelets have truly stood the test of time, first appearing during ancient Egyptian times as a status symbol. During Roman times, charm bracelets were considered religious artifacts. Since then, they’ve represented everything from royalty and family origin to profession and political position. Charm bracelets made their way to America as WWII soldiers returned bearing gifts of their travels for their sweethearts. Over the past few decades, these mementos and their charms have continued to be popular gifts for special events such as birthdays, graduations and mother’s day. More recently, exaggerated designs and oversize charms have made these bracelets all the rage on the style circuit.
Modern charm bracelets are getting bigger and bolder than ever. With upscale fashion designer houses and popular retailers pushing the envelope, these bracelets are no longer the dainty and delicate trinkets they once were. Although classic charms will never go out of style, the look of the moment is a heavier chain link with clusters of charms, beads and baubles. These bracelets are as versatile as a watch, and can easily be included in an everyday look.
To create your own style, you can design and add charms to your bracelet which represent your overall fashion sense and interests. With a variety of charms to choose from, it’s easy to mix and match depending on your outfit or mood. As recent trends dictate, bulky bracelets can be worn in multiples or with other bracelets, for a bold and noticeable look. The most important thing to remember is that your jewelry and your charm bracelet should be an expression and an extension of your personality.
