Vintage Charms for Charm Bracelets
There is a real charm to the vintage types of gold charms, enameled charms and silver charms from years gone by. Not all vintage charms are really old and some are from the recent past, particularly the 50’s through to the early 1970’s, when charm bracelets were all the rage. Gold charms from these periods or even earlier have a terrific amount of detail, perfect to add to your current gold charm bracelets or to create new ones.
Cultural charms can also be found in vintage shops and online sites. Some of these gold charms may include gemstones or specific icons from a culture. Many of the Native American styles of charms featured bits of turquoise while charms from South Africa may have a small diamond chip.
Hearts, lockets and cameo types of gold charms are very popular as vintage and collector charms. They may have initials or personal messages engraved either inside or on the back, depending on the style of the charm.
For those that don’t want to consider used vintage gold charms, there is always the option to look for new replicas of these classic charms. Several jewelry manufacturers are going back to the traditional types of gold charms including movable charms and enameled charms, perfect for a touch of nostalgia on your gold charm bracelets
