This delicate chain bracelet can be the beginning of a rich tradition of collecting charms and amulets as keepsakes. The double-links on this charm bracelet are round, with cuts that add texture to the otherwise liquid-light surface. The 14k gold bracelet is 4mm thick, 7 inches long, and fastens with a box lock clasp.
By some accounts, the Neolithic people carried the earliest charms, found objects such as pieces of wood or stone, believing they had special powers. Charms and charm bracelets like those we are familiar with now were popularized as far back as 500 B.C. The Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians, and Persians were among the first people to wear charms on bracelets; they were status symbols, I.D. tags, or sacred signs. Queen Victoria demystified charms in the late nineteenth century when she wore family portraits on her charm bracelets.
