I am really feeling old as I realize that my niece's graduation is just a few short months away
. She has such as terrific future ahead of her and I know she will be a success at whatever she chooses to do and be. As the only girl in the family she already has such a lot of stuff that I really was confused as to what to get her. Talking with a friend led me to think about charm bracelets, which I think will fit in perfectly with both her fashion style and her positive future.
Personal jewelry items that mean something special have always been my favorite, so charm bracelets were really an ideal idea. Instead of going back and telling the story of her childhood, I plan to start with graduation and looking forward.
Silver charm bracelets were the first thing that caught my eye as she is a silver jewelry person. I prefer my gold charm bracelets, but I still think I need to focus in on what she really loves.
The first charm on the strand of the bracelet is going to be a replica of a graduation charm. To this I am going to add her initials and the date in fancy calligraphy engraved on the back. Like all story types of charm bracelets I am going to add more charms, including a graduation cap charm to celebrate her special day.
I am a collector of odds and ends and I love collecting old types of keys. Since keys are also symbolic of opening new doors and moving into the future, a silver skeleton key is the next on the bracelet. I am going to look for one with a diamond chip on the top as I love the look of gemmed charms on charm bracelets.
Animals are her love and passion and I know she wants a career as a vet when she gets through college. In addition she is working with animals this summer at a special animal rescue in our town. A few charms of cats and dogs are a must to add to the bracelet.
Charm bracelets with the disk charms full of inspirational sayings and personal messages are so appealing I am going to add at least two or three of these as well. I know I can find quotes she loves from people she admires to add that personal touch.
Charm bracelets are so fashionable and timeless I know this will be a great gift. Including all the positive future images as well as recognition of what a wonderful girl she is will be a lot of fun for me and I know this will be one of the charm bracelets she really loves both now and in the future.
