Charm Bracelets Have Made A Comeback

They were popular during the 50s and the 70s and are once again the must-have jewelry item. We are, of course, referring to charm bracelets, which are just as much desired by grown women as they are by little girls. They are the perfect way for wearers to broadcast their hobbies, sports, interests, job, and various other traits without saying a word.

The charms hook onto a bracelet that is created using open links. Traditional links are round, square, or rectangular but many stores sell unique heart or knot links, or even link clusters. The more ornate bracelet is itself a conversation piece due to its level of detail in design and accenting. The item does not even need any charms to get some observer compliments. This allows the wearer to slowly add charms while still wearing a classy piece of jewelry.


Metals like yellow gold in 10 or 14 karats, 14-karat white gold, sterling silver, or gold plating are commonly used to make the bracelet. A 14-karat white or yellow gold style costs the most. Some women and girls like silver better than gold and the sterling silver bracelet is very reasonably priced. Though it is not expensive, it looks elegant, so it makes a great gift item.

The bracelet includes a clasp, often of the toggle or lobster style. The lobster clasp is the classic type and requires that the wearer pull a lever to open a loop for securing the ring from the other end of the jewelry. Toggle clasps are the more contemporary style and use a bar and ring. The bar is put in the ring to secure the jewelry on the wrist. Those who prefer jewelry that is easier to close should look for magnet and screw-on clasps. These often feature an additional closure for securing purposes should the clasp come undone.

The widths and sizes of the bracelet vary within and between styles, allowing the wearer to customize this jewelry. The thinnest styles have common widths of 3.5mm and the widest are often approximately 8mm. Seven to eight inch lengths are the most common but children’s jewelry features shorter lengths for smaller wrists.

Whether yellow gold, white gold, gold plated, or sterling silver charm bracelets are selected, they are sure to make a statement. The different link styles, widths, and lengths allow the young woman or lady to find the perfect look. All of these choices and we haven’t even gotten to the charms yet!

Make Your Homestead Like A Fireside On The Arboretum For Your Teensy-Weensy Cattleman

You can make his first bedroom a perfect dude ranch where your tiny cow boy can dream of the Wild West as he’s surrounded by authentic-looking accessories like imitation cowhide and by the exciting prints on his cowgirl baby bedding. Sooner or later, you can enthrall him with stories of the brave hearts of the Old West, and – as his father would – he will envision pulling on a pair of shoes, covering his head with a cap that weighs ten gallons, jumping onto a horse, and galloping off into the wild following a group of downright bad cattle thieves. There’s a vast array of items online for parents who want their nursery to feature this ever-popular motif. The simplest look-up on a search engine, too, will index many, many websites of sellers who have cowboy linen available as a choice. On the linens, there’ll be cowboys, horses, and western foliage in colors like tan, brown, red, and green, but the styles will vary. With the current financial crisis, though, it’s tough for many p...

Detox Retreat – Cleanse your Body and Soul

Everyone knows that Retreats can rejuvenate, enhance, and provide personal benefits way beyond a holiday. The typical focus of the retreat is some form of self improvement and on this page we’ll speak about Detoxification. A detox retreat is a place where you can fast and cleanse the body of emotional and physical toxins that accumulates from modern stressful lifestyles. Detox Retreats are getting to be extremely popular and you may locate them all over the world. But do we really need to Cleanse our bodies from toxins? Well, I’ll positively say, Yes. I would like to compare our Human body with a House and our digestive system with the sewer system of the House. (Not the very best analogy, but that’s what popped up in my mind. You can create your own analogy.) What will happen if we don’t clean the sewer system inside our house? It is going to get stuck from everything that run through it and the result will be a dirty and unpleasant environment around us. Well, you see...
