Do you still have your charm bracelet?

Had a 9ct gold one with 12 charms and a silver one with 5 charms sold then via cash cow with a few other bits of gold and silver jewellery I know longer liked or wore. Brought a new double bed and mattress and side tablet for my spare bedroom. Silver didn't fetch much but the gold did.

Yes, I still have mine. I was given it when I was 10, it has a dozen charms. I also have my mother’s heavy gold one, it’s full of charms but I never wear it. A shame really, perhaps I should?

Yes, mine is still around. It has a shell which opens up to show a tiny pearl among a few other charms. My granny gave it to me and I shall give it to my DGD one of these days (which reminds me, I should write that intention down).

No - I never had one

I haven’t seen my silver charm bracelet since I moved into this house 30 years ago. No idea if it was accidentally thrown out or if it’s packed away in the loft waiting to be discovered.

I hadn’t worn it for many years but I often thought of it when my granddaughters were little. They’d have loved it. It was a surprise 18th birthday present from my boyfriend. He gave me it with a love heart, a padlock and a little key. I added several more over the years. My favourite charm was a cute little scarecrow 😊

Yes. I have mine. Can’t recall when it was last worn, certainly not in the last 15 years. It holds many memories.

What a lovely idea for a thread. Yes I have my silver one. I'll have a look at it in the morning and remind myself of the charms and their memories.

I was thinking I haven't worn my silver charm bracelet for ages. I got it as a Christmas gift when I was around 12 (in the early 70's) and the first charm was an airplane to represent our first flight planned for the upcoming summer.

I love how it tinkles as I move, but drives me mad when it frequently gets caught on clothing. I have about a dozen charms on it.

I think the Pandora ones are fun, but not the same in that the charms are all similar looking. The original charm bracelets were all so individual.
