Charm Bracelets

Charm Bracelets - New Zealand

The wearing of charm bracelets began as a form of amulet designed to protect its wearer from danger or harm. Originally crafted from shells, animal bones and clay, charms are now made from beads, silver, gold, copper, gems and stones. In ancient Egypt, charms were used for identification and as symbols for luck, while during the Roman Empire, Christians would use small fish charms to identify themselves to other Christians. Queen Victoria was instrumental to the growing popularity of charm bracelets, giving and receiving them to her nearest and dearest. In 1889, Tiffany and Co. introduced their first charm bracelet, and during the early ‘50s and ‘60s, teenagers collected charms to record events of their lives. These days, charms are strung with decorative pendants or trinkets such as hearts, stars, peace signs and locks, making them a chic and sentimental gift.
