A bit of history about Charm Bracelets:
Charms can be traced back to the Neolithic Period, when pieces of bone, shell, and wood were strung on leather into elaborate bracelets. Through the Bronze Age and Ancient Egypt, charms were used as amulets or talismans to ward off evil and bring good luck to the wearer. These charms were carved to look like animals or symbols and had important symbolic significance.
One of the first documented examples of charms being used to represent something personal about the wearer is from the Roman Empire. Christians would wear the ichthys (fish) charm to identify themselves to other Christians. The fish represents the Biblical story of the feeding of the five thousand by Jesus.
Charms continued to be used us talismans through the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
The next significant point in their history occurred during the Victorian Era. Queen Victoria was hugely influential in the world of jewelry. She popularized the use of gold charms as personal symbols, such as lockets containing portraits or locks of hair from loved ones. These charms were hung from bracelets, necklaces, and watch chains, and were the precursors to the charm bracelets we are most familiar with today.
