Title: Italian Charm Bracelets
Post by: Holly on December 22, 2003, 10:28:15 pm
I got one from my best friend on my birthday and I LOVE it! It is the cutest thing ever and I almost never take it off! I think they're such a cute idea... cause you can personalize them to fit your likes and interests. And friends/family can give you charms which makes it special.

you take charms such as these ^

and string them along a bracelet where the links go together like this:

my best friend gave me the bracelet with these charms:
"best buddies"
"18"
a picture of a cocker spaniel (my dog)
a picture of red lips

and my mom recently got me:
a picture of a music note
a picture of a holly berry
a picture of a panda (my fave animal besides dogs)

It's a cute gift idea! does anyone have one? some places sell them crazily expensive tho...  so you gotta be careful where you get them. but where i got my friends today, they're a good price! around where i live they're everywhere! i've seen them range anywhere from $3 to $30 per charm... and then u get a bracelet free after buying however many charms.

did they really originate there tho? i know they're "italian charm bracelets" but it's not like "french fries" came from france.
Lol... i dont know where they came from! but theyre cute! :)

I don't have one of those (they sound MOLTO cool though!), but i do have a traditional one. I got it a few birthdays ago and it is my absoloute pride and joy. Over the years i have added different charms that mean things- they cost quite a bit (like $30 a time) but nearly all have dinky little features! Okay, bad pic but you can kinda see:

So there is:
1. A carousel-because i like to have fun, hee hee.
2.A Piano- which of course represents Vanessa- and you can open up the lid and there's a cat inside!
3.A punch and judy stand- and there's a lever at the back which you can move and punch hits judy! bwhaha, because i love theatre.
4.A pair of ballet shoes- because i love ballet.
5.A telephone box, the door opens and everything-because i love to talk, hahahah.
6. A book, which opens up and has one silver page which says "love they neighbour as thy self" and "do as you would be done by."- that represents my morals, LMAO.
7. A key- which is the key to my heart.

cute bracelet Rosie!!

i have a traditional charm bracelet too... but i have never seen it! lol. Ive seen the charms tho... my mom gets me one at some of the special places we go or things we do, and then she keeps them... She said i'll get it on my wedding day or whatever, lol.

my italian charm bracelet is my pride and joy too! :)
I'm usually not a huge jewelry wearer but i'm in love with it. I love it so much I've bought them for my 2 best friends and my bro's gf.  Not only are they a cute gift idea for now... but it makes for easy gifts in the future now that they'll have one.
I should take a pic of mine too... maybe i will later today!

Ohhh I want one soooo bad. I've wanted one for a while and was really debating about buying a fake little parisish one from Filens but my mom told me to wait until after the softball and track season when I don't need to take it off constantly so I don't lose it. ohh well...maybe for my birthday she'll give in.
