The trend of charm bracelets was very famous among the women and young girls of the United States of America in the 1940s. Girls used to collet charms that represented them and signified their likes, dislikes and unique experiences or simply the charms that they loved so much using their allowance. These charms made of gold, silver or any other metal used to be strung onto a gold or silver chain worn on the girls’ wrists. As the girl grew, more charms were added to paint a picture of how her life turned out. Though this trend died out a couple of decades later, it has now been revived, thanks to our love for everything vintage. Today’s young girls find it fascinating to wear the charm bracelets built by the then girls of the 1940s. This has a uniquely vintage appeal to it and the fact that the bracelets house several incredible stories is indeed a happy bonus. Hand bracelet
