I'm a massive fan of collecting different types of charm bracelets(lots of Juicy Couture
Charms
). I've been doing this since I was a teenager when I was given my
first bracelet as a birthday present. It's something I'll probably never forget
because it started a lifetime hobby. The first bracelet was an Alice in
Wonderland theme. When I first seen this I was so impressed with the
craftsmanship and detail on Alice and The Mad Hatter but I simply have to
somehow get the rest of the collection. As a teenager you can imagine with
having no job this was going to be a very expensive hobby. At that time you
could pay anywhere between $20 and $40 per charm. I'm sure you put gold more
expensive but I simply could not afford even look at anything more expensive
than these. It did take me a while to complete the collection of charms for the
bracelets. But, I got there eventually.

 

Many people nowadays collect these and I guess over the years the
availability of different styles and types has changed dramatically. Back in the
Victorian days they were probably seen more as a symbol of status. Nowadays,
they are more for action and fun. Some of the Juicy Charms designs
that are now available is just amazing and my collection changes almost on a
weekly basis because they have also become more affordable.

 

My daughter was heading to a Halloween party one time. I had an idea to
surprise her with a bracelet with various different types of charms to symbolize
Halloween. I was able to do some quick research on the Internet and came across
a website that had a really nice selection available. I think in total I chose
about 15 different types from broomsticks, skeletons, trick-or-treat bags and
various different types of witches. It only took a couple of days for them to
arrive and the price was very reasonable compared to popping along to our Juicy Couture Jewelry Store. I guess
it's because they have less overheads and do not need to pay staff to man the
store every single hour of the day.

 

When my daughter seemed the charm bracelet she just thought it was so funny
and it matched in which her costume she was wearing on the day perfect. I guess
that's the beauty of these type of bracelets and for collectors like me to be
able to pass on to our children some of the ideas they can start to see that it
is not an obsession it can actually be quite fun to.
