The history of charm bracelets

Bracelets with small pendants and talismans were worn by the Assyrians, Hittites, Persians and Babylonians around 400 BC. Over the years, the function of these bracelets changed from a cultic-religious motivation to a fashionable phenomenon with a personal memorial function. People now collected small pendants that were supposed to bring happiness and remind them of loved ones, events and places and that they could carry with them on their bracelet at all times.

Queen Victoria as a royal role model

In the Victorian era, Queen Victoria herself made this type of memorial jewellery popular. She wore a bracelet with small pendants designed with locks of hair and portraits of her loved ones. After the death of her husband, she also wore mourning pendants on this bracelet. The charm bracelet experienced a further flowering in England in the 1970s.

Jewellery as a memento

Small pendants, bought as mementos in various cities, or figurative souvenirs in the form of buildings and sights or with a humorous background, often to open with small figurines inside, characterise the design of our charm bracelets. They follow the old principle of attaching memorabilia of beautiful or special moments to a ribbon and thus creating your very own personal piece of jewellery.
