Alpo Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I'm reading a story taking place in Christmas of 68, and the guy bought his girlfriend a charm bracelet. That got me to thinking that I don't believe I've seen a charm bracelet for years and years and years and years. Do they still make them? Do girls still wear 'em? Or like crinolines and poodle skirts, they've faded into obscurity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Jersey Bratt sass103572 wears them, as do several of her sisters. The Pandora charms are a little pricey, all us brothers in law know Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffield, SASS #23454 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I have spent a small fortune buying pandora charms for Miss Jeanie. Duffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgavin Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 None of mine do. The few I see are on Eastern Star ladies of advanced age. Modern girls wear tattoos and metal things pierced through their face and nether regions. Not my idea of a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Brules Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I recall that each charm woul had a meaning, and that you would buy a charm for a lady (if available there) from special places you visited, such as one castle or another, major European cities. Las Vegas, D-Land, NYC, etc. They were pretty expensive; gold or silver. Those charm bracelets were cherished possessions. Cat Brules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I bough a charm bracelet for my future wife when I was in Germany in 68. I didn’t know she never wore bracelets. I think she wore it once. Probably still in her jewelry box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably still in her jewelry box. I bought a myriad of charms for Miss Lorrie while in the land of good beer. She hasen't worn them in many years.

MizPete Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Mine are not Pandora, but traditional. I have 3: the one I had in high school (you had to have one) extended to include life in general; hearts, some of them antique - tho I guess the ones given to me childhood are now antique; and places I have been. I still buy charms occasionally, but don't wear the bracelets so often any more. Still, they are treasured. Oh yeah, and the Peter Pan one given to me by a friend of my parents that my daughter found at my mom's house & restored for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
