A Basic History of Charm Bracelets

By Siffion Quaid




Tiffany & Co is a producer of a large range of jewelry including earrings, necklaces, watches and even leather accessories like pouches. But are you aware they make charm bracelets also? If you don't know charm bracelets are standard wristbands which allow you to attach different 'charms ' to the bracelet to make up different looks and designs.

The charm bracelet was originally an amulet which was made to give protection to the wearer against evil spirits. The charms were made from bones, shells and clay and their use goes back so far as 75,000 years back. More finely worked designs have been discovered going back 30,000 years carved from the tusks of mammoths.

Charm bracelets are also used through history for many alternative religions, during the Roman period Christians used to have tiny fish designs hidden on themselves so they spiritual convictions could be identified without persecution. In the Second World War, soldiers would get charms manufactured by local wood workers where ever they were stationed to give to their loved ones 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.
