CHARM BRACELETS: Charms have been enchanting people since prehistoric times. Frequently referred to as amulets or talismen, the wearing of charms has been associated with magic, mystique, protection, spirituality and love.



In our organization, Charms, Inc., we used charms and charm bracelets to tell the story of our civic and social activities as Charms, along with our travels.


As each member matures, so does her charm bracelet, increasing not only in number of charms, but also in sentimental value.


This bracelet is frequently referred to as our “Lifetime” bracelet, growing over the years to one day be passed on to our daughter, continuing the tradition of Charms, Inc. from generation to generation.
