Heart Charm Bracelets

Find Out All About Leather, Sterling Silver and Gold Heart Charm Bracelets For Women

Most little girls from a very early age dream of being a princess like Cinderella or Ariel or Belle, especially if they have watched the Disney movies. They love to dress up as their favorite character either in specially bought dressing up clothes or, as I used to do when I was little, in Mom’s clothes. And of course, every princess needs lots of sparkling romantic heart jewelry to wear with her beautiful gown for when she meets her prince at the ball.

If your little princess has been fortunate enough to visit Disney World or the huge Disney store in Downtown Disney in Florida, then she may have had the opportunity to visit the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique to have her hair, makeup and nails have done just like a real princess. If money is no object (it could be as much as $200) then you will want to add all the extras such as her favorite princess’s dress, shoes and a photograph to commemorate the event. Then, of course, she needs a tiara and all the other jewelry to match, such as a necklace, ring, earrings, and bracelet. Depending on her age and your budget (if you haven’t overspent already!) the jewelry can be a mixture of cheap and cheerful glass beads with perhaps something more elaborate, like a silver heart charm bracelet, a silver heart locket, or a silver heart ring.

These items of jewelry can be a memento of her magical vacation but they can also be something to wear as she gets older. For example, if you choose to buy a silver heart charm bracelet she can add a new charm from every place that she goes on vacation as a child and as an adult. Charms could include a flip-flop charm to remind her of a beach vacation or perhaps a charm of the Tower of London or the Eiffel Tower if she visited Europe. Just imagine what memories it will evoke and what an interesting topic of conversation it will be when people admire it when she wears it as she gets older. Disney pins on a lanyard may be great for when you are wanting to trade them but are hardly the height of elegance, whereas a silver heart charm bracelet can be worn with casual or formal outfits.

Obviously, as she grows from a child into an adult she will accumulate a lot more jewelry to add to her collection whether it is fashion jewelry that she has bought for herself or more personal items that other people have bought for her on birthdays and other special days. And while she will not be playing at “dressing up” anymore she will still enjoy the feeling of looking like a princess when she dresses in the gown she has chosen for special events such as her junior or senior prom.

But then the “Big Day” arrives and the little girl’s dream turns into reality and she really is a princess walking down the aisle to marry her prince. All eyes are on her as she glides into the room wearing the most beautiful wedding dress and the most sparkling jewelry. This time the jewelry may have been bought for her by her future husband and may consist of a heart-shaped engagement ring, gold heart earrings, a gold heart necklace and a gold heart bracelet which he has given her as a token of his undying love. The great thing about heart jewelry is that it can be worn every day even after the big event. It looks equally good when worn to the office or for a posh night out or even when you are wearing casual clothes such as jeans and sweatshirt.

And why not start a tradition among the other princesses in the family – buy each of them a heart charm bracelet when they are young and let them choose the theme they want to continue on it over time. These items of jewelry will be great to hand down over the generations as they will have such a story to tell.

A Sterling Silver Heart Charm Bracelet And Other Star Matches

Are you one of those people who enjoy looking at the pictures of celebrities at “red carpet” events so you can check out their outfits and see what kind of jewelry they are wearing?  Sometimes they look really glamorous and have obviously chosen well. But on other occasions, you see a number of famous people looking as if they have been advised by someone who was only partially sighted or who had a reason to get even with them. Strange how even with large amounts of money and almost unlimited advice they can’t filter out the odd styles and looks that they are offered.

Anyhow, despite having said all of that, I’m not really a celebrity watcher but since starting this heart jewelry blog I have taken more notice of the type of jewelry people in the news are wearing as it can have an influence on what is fashionable at any one time. Not long ago I saw a photograph of Miley Cyrus wearing a black bead necklace with a big black heart charm on it. This image got me thinking about what kind of heart jewelry other celebrities might look good wearing so I asked my family and friends for their suggestions. Here are some of their choices:

• Jennifer Aniston – a sterling silver charm bracelet, or even better, a sterling silver heart charm bracelet. When I asked my friend why she thought this would be an appropriate piece of jewelry her response was “because it is feminine and dainty, especially with the hearts”.
• Catherine Zeta-Jones – a sterling silver heart charm necklace. This would complement the little black dresses she is often pictured wearing and it would also show off her beautiful long neck and dark hair. The guy who suggested this said that earrings would not be a good choice as you can’t see them because her hair covers them.
• Eddie Izzard – a black velvet choker with a diamante heart charm in the middle of it. One of my female relatives made this choice because she could see him wearing it as he is a transvestite (or at least, he appears to be) and she also thinks it would suit him. She is quite a fan of his comedy.
• Paris Hilton – a collar with jewel-encrusted hearts on it for her dog. According to my friend, this pampered pooch should have one of these to complement its owner’s jewelry when they are being photographed together.
• Anne Robinson – a silver and diamond heart pendant. Because she always wears black on her television show “The Weakest Link” this would be the perfect item of jewelry for her to choose as black really shows off the sparkle of the silver and diamonds.
• Lady Gaga – an over the top very colorful, chunky necklace. My friend’s teenage daughter suggested this as Lady Gaga is notorious for her flamboyant, extreme outfits.
• Beyonce – a simple diamante heart bracelet. Beyonce’s style is glamorous and glitzy and so a diamond bangle would be just the right accessory for her in complete contrast to Lady Gaga’s over the top persona.
• Rachel McAdams – a heart necklace. My son suggested a yellow or white gold heart pendant would suit her because she is very feminine. He also said that the Williams sisters would look good wearing a chunky heart bracelet.
• Helen Mirren – heart earrings. This was my husband’s choice and he was very definite as to the design – they should be stud earrings, delicate and classy, not flashy and made of sterling silver or white gold. When I asked him why he said: “this design is feminine, understated and sophisticated making them ideal for an intelligent, professional woman”.
• Cheryl Cole – a silver heart charm necklace and silver heart earrings. A friend and her teenage son both chose the same celebrity but decided that different items of jewelry would suit her.
• Eva Longoria – simple long, dangly heart charm earrings. For this petite, very feminine famous housewife I would choose this design in white gold or sterling silver because this is a style she tends to favor and they look good on her even though she has long hair.

My friends and I had fun thinking about which item of heart jewelry would be appropriate for which celebrity. So who is your favorite celebrity and what piece of heart jewelry do you think they would wear and why?

Making History One Charm At A Time With Heart Bracelets

A heart bracelet today symbolizes friendship and love. Even little children enjoy making these excellent examples of heart jewelry for one another, but what they do not know is the history they are taking part in while they do so. These heart charm bracelets have a richer symbolization than may at first be apparent, and that is true whether it is a gold or a sterling silver charm bracelet or some other precious metal that it is made out of. Let us take one bead at a time and look at where the popularity of heart bracelets originated.

Understanding what a “charm” bracelet is helping in tracking down its origins and putting a heart charm bracelet into context. A charm is a personalized pendant that signifies an important event, person, or relationship. Generally, charms take the form of what they are representing. Some are obvious with animals, hearts, or names and others hide the true meaning with special symbols. These charms, however, did not originally start on people’s wrists.

In ancient times, charms were worn to signify “higher” beings or processes like pleasing the gods, warding off evil, and gaining entrance into the afterlife. Charms at this time were usually worn as pendants, amulets, and rings. As time went on, eventually these charms changed their meaning and their positioning. The bracelet was born around the middle ages and was worn by nobles and knights to signify rank and family. One of the best know “pioneers” of wearing bracelets was Queen Victoria. She would wear things like silver heart bracelets, not for symbolism, but because she liked the look. Typically, only members of royalty or the extremely wealthy had the money or desire to wear such a decoration, but for a few commoners, these bracelets were “to die for”.

The average Joe on the street saw and adored the charms worn by the upper-class men and women of society. This adornment turned led to innovation, as they then fashioned their own jewelry from what they had seen. Out of simple string and beads, they would construct their own bracelets. These rickety poor man’s bracelets helped change the meaning and use of the charm bracelets. After no time at all, there were artisans who specialized in constructing these bracelets and beads and this is the origin of today’s bracelets.

Today’s charm bracelets can be used for anything from casual jewelry through to fine pieces fit for formal occasions. Especially among teenage girls, these bracelets have been taken to a completely new level of meaning. Friendship heart bracelets come with a heart divided into two halves of a whole. They can be put together to form a full bracelet, or worn in parts to show the connection of friendship. Another favorite type of bracelet that is popular in the same way as a heart bracelet is the initials bracelet, where you can wear your own initials or the initials of a special boyfriend or girlfriend. These bracelets also make very good gifts for adults as well. Signifying a milestone in one’s life, bracelets can mean the world to a person. This truly meets the definition of “It’s the thought that counts” and even the least expensive sterling silver example delivers a powerful message.

Many people will hold dear a little bracelet, over and above anything else in their house, just because of what it means to them. For example, in World War Two, soldiers would bring back charms for their wives to show them where they had been. These bracelets meant the world to the wives, by showing that their husbands not only served their country but also made it back. For the wife who lost her loved one, a heart charm bracelet would also serve as a reminder of her husband’s sacrifice to keep his family and country safe. No matter what the size, shape or color, bracelets have a huge emotional impact, and especially a heart charm bracelet. They truly mean the world to people.

Thinking about these charms brings our personal world to the center. Everything we hold near and dear to us represented in this small package – memories, people, events, milestones, you name it. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a heart charm bracelet is forever.

Heart Bracelets, Heart Charms, And Other Personalized Baby Gift Ideas

When it comes to choosing a gift for a new baby girl, most people don’t immediately think about jewelry (for example, heart bracelets or charms) but instead, they focus on other things such as clothes, blankets, bibs and any number of other practical items. But babies are made to love and to show the love you feel for this new little person – so what better gift than jewelry, especially heart jewelry?

I particularly like the heart bracelets and heart charms that are available in stores and online that can be personalized especially for baby.

Stores such as Amazon have some beautiful heart bracelets that you can have engraved with the child’s name or initials. One I really like is the Birthstone Angel bracelet. Not only can you have the heart engraved with the baby’s name and birthday but you can buy a matching necklace to go with it.

Another unique gift idea would be a starter charm bracelet that can be added to over time to commemorate milestones in a baby’s life. This truly would be a lasting gift that could become a memories bracelet to pass on to the next generation. A number of babies have their ears pierced so why not choose from the selection of gold or silver earrings that are available? Amazon has a selection of children’ jewelry and you can find some cute birthstone heart earrings.

There is any number of different heart charms to choose from that can be engraved with a special message. A heart locket engraved with either a name or special date makes a lovely gift. If a photo of mom and dad is put inside as the little girl gets older she will always have a keepsake of how her parents looked when she was born.

Although it is mostly little girls who wear jewelry there are some pieces that you can buy for a baby boy. If dad or mom is a soccer fan how about getting a soccer pendant or if they are baseball fans there is the engraved baseball pendant? Or equally popular for little boys would be a St Christopher pendant.

There are lots of other personalized gifts to choose from that are suitable for both baby girls and baby boys, for instance, a personalized piggy bank or “My First Year” album or even a personalized brush and comb set.

Whether you are choosing from a range of heart bracelets, heart earrings, Pandora charms or sports charms or other assorted items, choosing a personalized gift for that special bundle of joy will show how much you care.
