What Does a Charm Bracelet Mean?
Charm bracelets represent a collection of little specialty ornaments that are attached to a bracelet and worn on the wrist. More than just decorative jewelry, these bracelets display charms chosen with a purpose and theme in mind. Sometimes, the bracelets are family heirlooms, holding treasures that go back several generations. Travelers may collect the gold, silver or enameled souvenirs in shops from places they visit to remember a trip. The silver Alaskan bracelet shown contains a whale tail, a gold miner, an igloo, a moose, a salmon, an eagle and a totem pole. In between each charm are silver ship’s wheels with dolphins. Charm bracelets are often created by collecting one charm at a time, each addition reflecting the owner’s hobbies, interests and experiences.
