Of all perennials in the world of jewelry-think cocktail rings, diamond studs and tennis bracelets-few are as whimsical as charm necklaces. Dating back to the Neolithic period, when hunters used charms for good luck trinkets, their use has run the gamut over the centuries from protective shields to status symbols to simply lovely, girlish ornamentation.
Today, charm necklaces are surfacing yet again in fashion, ranging from simple and elegant to kitschy and cool. Keep the look grown-up with delicate chains and beautifully crafted charms with intricate details and double-siding or three-dimension.
“One of the most intriguing things about charms and charm necklaces is that they often have a special significance to the person wearing it,” says jewelry designer, Elana Rubin. Women can “choose a charm that will convey a message or recall a certain part of their life that is significant to them.”
In other words, you can't miss when you choose charms that represent who you are, places you’ve been or things you love.
