We are pleased to offer this beautiful sterling silver charm bracelet with nine charms.
This charm bracelet includes a hut with palm trees, a wishing well, sombrero, thimble and scissors, a bell, three bells, a dancer, airplane, and a trolley car. You should see most of these in the photos. Many of the charms are marked sterling or 925. A few have no marking that I can find. This piece is in very good condition. The clasp closes securely. This is a very pretty charm bracelet that would be a nice addition to one’s jewelry collection.
Charms go back as far as the Neolithic era where man would pick up an unusual stone or piece of wood and carry it with him to ward off his enemies. Elaborate jewelry made of precious stones and metals emerged during the age of the Egyptian Pharaohs. It was during this time that the first recognizable charm bracelets and necklaces first appeared.
Like people of many ancient civilizations, the citizens of ancient Egypt lived very short lives by today's standard - 30 to 40 years on average. With so little time on earth, they obsessively prepared for a prosperous life after death. Charm bracelets played a significant role in the preparation process. Charm wrist and neck bracelets were not only coveted as protective shields and signs of status in this life, they were also worn as ID tags to help the gods guide the wearer and his/her possessions to the proper status level in the afterlife. Kind of an "if found, please return to" note from home.
