"Charmed, I'm Sure"

With women continuing to come into their own, jewelry designers have reached back into the classics in order to come up with jewelry that allows a woman to express who she is. What is this "new" jewelry star? It's the charm. Designers realize that the charm is a fabulous vehicle by which a woman can express any number of things about herself, her history, her passion, her family, her talents, and anything else that's important to her and that she wants to say about herself.

Traditionally, the charm has mirrored events that impact directly on women. When, in the 40's soldiers returned home to their moms, wives, or sweethearts, many brought back charms as souvenirs of the places they'd been in Europe or the Pacific. In turn, the women back home would send the GI's little charms that the soldiers would keep as a reminder of home and as a symbol of the good-luck wishes that was sent their way.

In the 50s practically every woman least one charm and many had entire charm bracelets replete with memories. Photos of many Hollywood starlets of the day show blingy charms bracelets. As often is the case, their adoring public followed suit. The fifty's babies grew up and became the Generation X of the sixties. The women of the sixties, all about peace, love, hope and harmony, added charms that symbolize their generation to their mothers' cherished charm bracelets.

Then, what so often is the case, charm bracelets were relegated to the back of the bureau drawer where they hibernated, and waited until the time was right to reappear. Fashion designers have looked for and found both new and tradition ways for the charm to be presented, everything from charm-embellished tee-shirts, to the classic charm bracelet. Rembrandt Charms has an incredible collection of charms that will not only suit every budget (sterling silver and 14k gold), but also will allow a woman to make a personal statement and an expression of herself.
