I had 3 charms bracelets, 1 gold & 2 sterling. The oldest was given to me by my parents when I was 13. I’ve already passed it on to my daughter. I wear the other bracelet everyday, except when I’m at work. I love it…personally! Each sterling charm has a story behind it, even the ones that were gifts. I seldom ever wear it that someone doesn’t ask me to tell them about each charm…which I gladly proceed to do. I’ll be 60 on my next birthday & my favorite charm is a JACK STONE (like 1 we played with when we were young) that my Sister just recently gave me, because she never could beat me at jacks! I change them out, occasionally, when I get a new one that I just MUST put on. My gold bracelet is still “under construction”. I haven’t put on all the charms because I haven’t found the 14 kt gold rings yet. Yes, they’re your LIFE STORY and a SCRAPBOOK of your life. I love the jingle they make when you were them. I’ve had a lot of men coment on the bracelets by saying they remember their mom, or a favorite aunt, having one & how fancinated they were by them. Lots of people are wearing them now, guess the trend is coming full circle again. I have about 15 really to go to a local art & craft bazzar. Maybe some people will want one to start their story! Will let you know. Have a good day! Judi

I have a gold memory bracelet. On it is my baby ring, the emblem from my high school ring, the key from the college I graduated. I also have my birth month with the day I was born marked with a diamond from my mothers wedding ring. I have a convertible auto, my first car purchase, a jet plane, I flew to Germany to be married to my soldier finance. I have charms representing the countries I visited while living in Europe. The Eiffel tower, a wine bottle,a cuckoo clock. To help me handle my tribulations, a four leaf clover and a mustard seed. I worry about who I will leave it to and who will treasure it when I am gone. Who will treasure it as much as I do?

Memories dangling from a wrist! I have a couple of memory bracelets, not handed down, but ones that I have found over the years and cannot bear to part with, they are like the old photographs they were someones cherished memories from long ago. Thank you for a wonderful insight into the charm bracelet.

Yes, These are fabulous and sometimes I do see them. Its always so much fun to look at them and see the charms and imagine how carefully and over how many years these were put together. I really wish I’d had one. Of my own that is I didn’t know that about the puffy hearts – I never cease to amaze myself about how wrong I am about what things to pick!
