 Charms

The concept of a Charm is honestly simple; “ a piece of jewellery with many different meaningful designs which are attached to enhance another item.” For example, worn on a Bracelet around the wrist, on the zipper of a Handbag.

Because Charms are interchangeable, more can be collected than what can fit on a bracelet, so different ones can be attached for different days and occasions. They are usually made out of Silver or Gold and can feature colourful Gemstones and Enamels as part of their design.

The appeal of Charms lies in just how personal they can be. Many people opt for Charms that represent significant milestones in their lives, using a Bracelets as a way of visually telling their story. This interchangeability and variety therefore makes it unlikely for any two people will have the same Bracelet. Much of their desirability is in their individuality, which is why they make such popular gifts.

The wearing of Charms is thought to have come from the idea that they offered Protection and acted as a Talisman to defend against Evil and increase one’s Luck. As long ago as 75,000 years ago, man was using pieces of shell for Personal adornment, and delicately detailed tusk Charms have been dated to 30,000 years ago in Germany. As well as Shell, early Charm carvings made from Bone, Clay, Rock and Wood have been discovered across all Continents.

From Ancient Egypt, when Charms were a part of the Pharaohs costume worn at ceremonies, and the mummification process used Charms to keep the spirit of each pharaoh recognisable in the afterlife, to early history, when Christians would wear a small, concealed fish charm to inform other Christians that they followed the same teachings without the fear of persecution.

Charms were used as Amulets and Talismans throughout the Middle Ages, later Aristocrats replaced their charms with Gemstones and Jewellery, and gradually Charm production became more affordable to all classes, people started to wear jewellery heavily influenced the trends and fashions of the time, and this trend quickly spread across Europe.  Charms began to represent Hobbies, Interests, Birthstones, the concept of a Charm telling the story of its owner went on to become heirlooms, passed down and added to by the next generation.
