Original silver charm bracelets from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s have a wonderful appeal all of their own . I Was going to write they have a wonderful charm all of their own but that would be just a bit to corny wouldn't it.

These charm bracelets have been made up by their original owners and charm added to suit the owner. The traditional bracelet has 13 silver charms but most of these have many many more. They tell the story of the original owner sometimes, perhpas their interests or places they have visited. English seaside holidays are commemorated in the travel shields. Many of these bracelets have a church and wedding / engagement rings, a stork, a pair of baby slippers, a car, a cat and a dog.

Look out for a silver charm bracelet with unusual charms or named charm from the Makers Nuvo or Chim. Moving and articulated charms are fun as are charms set with coloured crystals or with added enamel.

These vintage charm bracelets also represent a great value way to start your own charm bracelet. They are much cheaper than buying your own bracelet and charms. Buy one with a selection you like, if there is one or two not to your liking they can be removed. You can then add a few more charms to suit your choice.
