Starter Charms and Charm Bracelets For Girls And Young Women
Author: Shiran Cohen
One lifelong type of gift that parents, grandparents, family members or friends can start for their daughters or granddaughters is a charm bracelet. Charms can then be added on for special events in the girl’s life, which she will have with her forever. These types of charms are more than just a decoration worn on the arm; they are a true memento of the many wonderful and milestone events in a young woman’s life.
Starting a girl out with her own collection of charms and a charm bracelet means a bit of thinking ahead. If you select a bracelet that is suitable for a young girl, at least with regards to size, it will have to be replaced as she grows and matures. The other aspect is to consider an Italian style charm bracelet that can easily changed by simply purchasing a larger base and allowing the girl to choose the charms she wants on the bracelet.
Another option is to start a young child off with an adult sized bracelet and allow her to help collect charms to wear when she turns a specific age such as 16. This is both a family project as well as something she will look forward to wearing for years, making that birthday incredible special.
Some girls, even at a young age, love to wear jewelry so a child or smaller size bracelet may be the perfect options. These girls could pick out their own charms as well as get charms as gifts, then save the bracelet to one day pass on to their own little girls.
A jeweler, however, can remove even soldered on charms from a traditional style bracelet and transfer them to another charm bracelet. This can be a good option if the girl wants to move some of the charms from a child’s size bracelet to an adult charm bracelet. Charms don’t have to be replaced; they just have to be re-soldered.
Anything that a young girl enjoys doing or shows a passion or interest in is good category of charms to consider for the bracelet. Most young women have very diverse areas of interest that means there is a great number of possible combinations of charms.
Charm bracelets and charms make a perfect gift option of family members and friends to continue to add to throughout the years. A gift of these types of charms shows that all the special achievements and markers in the girl’s life are important to family and friends as well.
Starting a young child with a charm bracelet really is a lifelong gift. Since each bracelet will be different, each one of the charms combines on the bracelet to make a one of a kind piece of jewelry. Charms that highlight the young woman’s achievements will be much appreciated both for their beauty but also for the recognition and memories they provide.
