Most people would agree that jewelry is all about self-expression. What better way to show off your personality and style than with charms that have meaning to you and your lifestyle? This charm trend was set to be big in 2020 but, since we didn’t get to show off many accessories last year, some of these jewelry statements are rolling over into 2021 and will likely stay for a while!
If you are a fan of nostalgia, this is the style for you. In fact, many Y2K fashion throwbacks are making a comeback. And remember, in the world of charm jewelry, more is more. The pieces are symbolic and even sentimental so don’t hold back when showing the world what is meaningful to you.
Royal Trendsetters
Charms are the perfect way to commemorate memories big and small. Think of it like journaling, but instead of pen and paper, you get to use metals and gems. This dates all the way back to the 19th century when Queen Victoria showed off her significant life events through charm bracelets. They included enamel hearts to represent her children and a heart-shaped locket to commemorate her late husband. She allowed people to see what was personal to her and the popularity of charms grew from there.
Charmed I’m Sure
Charms aren’t just for your wrist. You will see this classic favorite now in rings, necklaces and even earrings this fall. Think quirky jewelry from the 80’s but with a modern update:
- Look for a beaded bracelet with a single charm
- Don a pair of earrings with one charm as a dangling pendant
- Go for necklaces that showcase a few important charms
- Slide on rings with small dangly charms that can be stacked for maximum effect
Your next charm piece can be inexpensive yet meaningful, but if you opt for a high-end item don’t forget the last piece of your charming puzzle- inquire about personalized jewelry insurance from Lavalier for this and all of your special pieces that need a little extra protection.
