Vintage Charm Bracelets

If your teenaged daughter has been obsessed with her charm bracelet do not think that she is a victim of the latest fashion fad. People have been wearing charm bracelets since the Neolithic, in Europe a charm bracelet was found that can be dated to 30,000 years ago! But these were simple affairs mainly made with animal bones and bits of stone, it was the Egyptians that started to add carved and more precious gemstones.

In the following centuries charm bracelets went in and out of fashion but they mainly had three objectives:

1. charms were like amulets meant to bring good luck or keep misfortune away.
2. they were a status symbol to show of or they showed that the wearer belong to a particular group
3. the wearer could collect small individual objects that were important to him or her.

In times of war and battle or when at sea charms were particularly important as people needed to know that something would keep them safe and also it was important to maintain a sense of identity and individuality that was easy to lose in situations like that.

Queen Victoria loved charm bracelets (she also loved cameo brooches and started a fashion) and last century since the 1920s charm bracelets have been in and out of fashion. While in the 1970s they were not considered a fashion item in the 1980s people started to view vintage charm bracelets as something worth owning.  Since then there have been new trends in charm bracelets such as the Pandora bracelets, the Italian charm bracelets or the charms inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean. You should not find it difficult to find ideas and inspiration from the past for your vintage charm bracelets. Obviously if you have a larger budget you might want to go for an authentic vintage piece, otherwise there is no lack of vintage inspired charm bracelets in the market.
