Fascinating Charm Bracelets

Do you remember the days when a charm bracelet started with just the bracelet and no charms?  Collecting charms from places that you traveled was part of the fun and made a great memorabilia piece; as well as a fashionable accessory.  During the 70's and 80's charm bracelets were very trendy among young ladies in their early teens as a way of recording important events in their life.

The charm bracelet dates back to the pre-historic time period when charms were probably made of bones from animals, shells and clay.  Wearers during this time were trying to avoid bad luck and ward off evil.

Today, you can still buy individual charms to add to your bracelet or for a quick fix purchase a bracelet that fits your personality or has a theme, such as the Peace Symbol Charm Bracelet shown.

Charm bracelets are available in a wide variety of styles and with many price ranges ($14 and up) making them a fantastic gift choice for friends, relatives, teachers or even a jingle gift for a co-worker. 

The next time you are looking for an accessory to dress up an outfit consider a charm bracelet that tells a story or expresses your interest and personality.  If you are lucky you may have a family charm bracelet that will let you adventure back to a different time period in style.
