Memorialize the events of your life and make a fashion statement at the same time with a charm bracelet. Each charm added is a story in miniature, and each link reminds you of some special moment. There are two main parts to the piece, the bracelet and the charms, and we will deal with each in turn.

Of the many metals used for charm bracelets, gold is the most popular. Either 14 or 18 caret, white, yellow, or colored, the variety is almost endless. A set of fine links conveys an image of delicate sophistication, while a heavy chain has a powerful impact of it’s own, telling the world that you’re here and they had better deal with it. Make certain you have a good clasp, and a safety chain is essential as
well since the bracelet will become somewhat bulky as the charms are added.

Charms are available everywhere you may go, and can range from under ten dollars for a simple athlete or animal, to thousands of dollars for a hand made designer piece to celebrate a momentous occasion in your life. Subjects are as varied as life; animals for your pets, athletes for your sports, bottles and glasses for parties you may have attended or given, the list is almost endless.

No matter what the cost, when you wear the bracelet you are showing the world a part of the history of your life, and you can expect comments and questions from all you meet. Not only are you wearing your life story, but what better way to start a conversation about your favorite subject – you.
