The concept of a Charm is honestly simple; “ a piece of jewellery with many different meaningful designs which are attached to enhance another item.” For example,worn on a Bracelet around the wrist, on the zipper of a Handbag.
Because Charms are interchangeable, more can be collected than what can fit on a bracelet, so different ones can be attached for different days and occasions. They are usually made out of Silver or Gold and can feature colourful Gemstones and Enamels as part of their design.
The appeal of Charms lies in just how personal they can be. Many people opt for Charms that represent significant milestones in their lives, using a Bracelets as a way of visually telling their story. This interchangeability and variety therefore makes it unlikely for any two people will have the same Bracelet. Much of their desirability is in their individuality, which is why they make such popular gifts.
The wearing of Charms is thought to have come from the idea that they offered Protection and acted as a Talisman to defend against Evil and increase one’s Luck. As long ago as 75,000 years ago, man was using pieces of shell for Personal adornment, and delicately detailed tusk Charms have been dated to 30,000 years ago in Germany. As well as Shell, early Charm carvings made from Bone, Clay, Rock and Wood have been discovered across all Continents.
