A Potted History of Charm Bracelets

By Siffion Quaid




Tiffany & Co is a producer of a massive range of jewellery including earrings, necklaces, watches and even leather accessories like wallets. But did you know they make charm bracelets also? If you do not know charm bracelets are ordinary bangles which permit you to attach different 'charms ' to the bangle to make up different looks and designs.

The charm bracelet was initially a talisman which was made to protect the wearer against malicious demons. The charms were made of bones, shells and clay and their use goes back as far as 75,000 years ago. More complex designs have been found going back 30,000 years carved from the tusks of mammoths.

Charm bracelets are also used all though history for many various faiths, in the Roman period Christians used to have small fish designs concealed upon themselves so they religious beliefs might be identified without persecution. During the 2nd World War, infantrymen would get charms made from local artisans where ever they were stationed to give to their family and friends back home.

These days charm bracelets are used as ideal versatile accessories for someone to wear as they can change dependent on your social situation. You can swap charms to match different outfits or from something ornamental to something more demure and stylish. Charm bracelets are definitely the most inexpensive piece of jewellery you can buy.

Even though you can purchase charm bracelets from numerous different designers, owning a Tiffany Charm Bracelet is perhaps seen as the ultimate in workmanship. As you'll expect the standard of producing that goes into their charm bracelets means you are getting something awfully special. Their charms are made from the common valuable metals and can also come encrusted in diamonds and other precious stones. However this can be awfully expensive and certainly not for everybody, however perhaps spending that tiny bit more on a Tiffany charm bracelet will be viewed as a wise investment in the future.
