It seems that charm bracelets, in some form or another, have been around forever, and they probably have. These little pieces of time set in jewelry commemorate any and all occasions, and so there were probably versions of the idea since the dawn of humanity. The tradition of adding memories to a set will continue on, as well.
There are charms that commemorate holidays, or special occasions. They have them for occupations, sports, school grades, and the list goes on and on. Even food is represented, along with countries, states, initials, shoes, toys, and by now you get the idea of how varied these little items are. This really is quite a field for the seeker.
And the beauty of these items is two fold. The first, far more tangible, is that these are truly pieces of fine jewelry. They are crafted from precious metal and that salient fact alone shows that they will retain value. But the intangible is what really matters. These bits of glitter are actually physical representations of great memories. The items are made to commemorate moments in time, and do so very well.
These pieces of jewelry are absolutely unbeatable when it comes to creating a collection. You can add to it continuously, as the materials will never cease being available. This is not about the physical materials, the metal, but the timely materials, the memories. Over time, a good collection is like a life history that can be told through them.
These items are available just about everywhere you go, too. Of course, you can find them by the thousands online, but you can fine quality pieces in any fine jewelry store. Many curio shops carry them, and many tourist attractions, such as amusement parks, carry their own special versions as souvenirs.
And finally, how can you ever go wrong by giving jewelry? Everybody loves to get a little something shiny now and again, and sterling silver charms can be found to suit any individual taste, style, and budget. The fact that they are so time and site specific make them all the more valuable as a keeper of memories as life passes by. By all means, consider this charming gift idea.
