Silver Charms for Bracelets

... a history of the silver charm bracelet!

The wearing of charms has been popular for centuries. Indeed the ancient Egyptians wore charms to ward off evil spirits and even today some charms are seen as a means of avoiding bad luck. It was probably Queen Victoria who initially started the fashion amongst the European nobility during the 19th Century. The charm bracelet remained popular in the 20th Century too and I am sure many of us recall our mother or grandmother collecting silver or gold charms to remember countries they had visited on holiday or to commemorate important occasions or 'milestones' in their lives.

The 21st Century saw the introduction of a new type of charm bracelet known as the European charm bracelet. It has become increasingly popular not only in Europe but also North America. Unlike the traditional charm bracelet, these charms are attached in a different way to the bracelet. These new silver charms are bead-like and made from silver (or silver with murano glass, enamel etc), and each one has a hole through the centre so that they become interchangeable - making it possible to create a unique a distinctive look!

There are a number of successful brand names associated with the manufacture of these popular silver charms for bracelets, including Pandora charm bracelets, Chamilia and Trollbeads. A new dimension has been added to the concept by Paul Wright Jewellery who are currently designing and creating a new range of silver daisy charms to add to their unique collection of silver daisy jewellery. Their sterling silver, bead charm bracelets are compatible with those created by Pandora, Chamilia and other leading brands and so the charm beads are interchangeable between charm bracelets on all the different makes available on the market.

As the proposed new silver daisy charms are still on the 'drawing board' collectors will have to wait a few weeks before being able to purchase the stunning new silver charm beads.
