Do you still have your charm bracelet?

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.

I have my late grannies gold charm bracelet. I always admired it when I was small and was told it'd be left to me. It has a 10shilling note folded up in a glass box. A thistle, a stop sign saying I love you on it. A set of rings. Can't remember what else is on it. It's in a box upstairs. When I wore it ex husband used to complain about the noise it made!!.

I'd love to see a 10 shilling note again. It was a fairly common present when I was a child. The sight of that lovely pink note nestled in a Christmas or birthday card was such a thrill.

Yes I have my silver one for my 21st birthday which my boyfriend now dh bought me. I remember wearing it to a work dinner and one of the bosses giving me a very firm handshake that embedded the charms into my hand. Ouch!!

Never had a charm bracelet, but I have got a couple of ten shilling notes and a couple of pound notes…..

I got a silver bracelet and a few charms for my 21st. My favourite was a rocking chair (can’t think why now).
DD asked if she could have it and I said yes as I never wore it. It played havoc with anything lacy you wore and snagged tights regularly.
I remember as a teenager seeing a barmaid who wore a very heavily laden gold charm bracelet which clunked every time she put a drink on the bar. She was a very brassy blonde who wore a lot of other gold jewellery and it definitely put me off having a gold charm bracelet.

I’ve worn mine today.
This thread reminded me that I should wear some other pieces jewellery from time to time
