The importance and characteristics of charm bracelets has changed over the course of the years. During the war, troops tended to invest in charms as a gift for their relatives. These were simple charms crafted by a local. They were bought to be preserved and displayed as a souvenir of a soldier's tour of duty. The Nineteen Fifties saw charm bracelets become the it-thing with children. They enjoyed collecting different charms to reflect special occasions that occurred while growing up.
However, today's crop of charm bracelets appear to have been principally designed in Europe. Denmark is the market leader of these new charm bracelets. The resurgence began with the brand "Trollbeads" in the 70s. The newer bracelets varied from those of old due to the way they could be attached to the bracelet. By way of example, rival Danish company Pandora makes use of a trademarked threaded technique. This means that their charms are not compatible with other bracelets. These systems also make sure that charms will sit safely and securely onto their specially designed bracelet. Of course, it also ties in customers to a specific brand.
On top of that, the majority of charm manufacturers offer accompanying clips or "spacers". These are a form of smaller charm that stay in a fixed position on a bracelet. This can be used as a way of grouping charms together and preventing them from slipping all around the bracelet. Lovelinks by Aagaard, Chamilia and Links of London also employ threading techniques for their charms.
Even though most charm companies come from Denmark, the fashion for this jewellery extends as far as North America. The chief lure of these newer charm mechanisms is the versatility they allow the wearer. Bracelets are still available as chain links. But these usually only accommodate a restricted selection of dangling charms. The snake chain bracelets are by far the most popular. These can be bought in silver or gold. However, you can now also buy charm bracelets made out of leather and different coloured string.
The charms are also constructed from numerous differing materials. The individual sale price of each charm will be affected by this. It is most usual to find charms made of sterling silver. However, there are expanding ranges of high quality gold charms. In addition, you can now buy charms with gemstones in them, murano glass charms and even wood charms.
