Charm Bracelet - Meaning and its History

A charm bracelet  is a type of bracelet worn around the wrist that carries personal ornaments or "charms", such as decorative pendants or trinkets. The decorative charms usually carry personal or sentimental attachment by the person who wears it. The wearing of charms may have begun as a form of amulet to ward off bad luck. During the Pre-Historic period, jewelry charms would be made from shells, animal bones, and clay. Later charms were made out of gems, rocks, and wood. For instance, there is evidence from Africa that shells were used for adornments around 75,000 years ago. In Germany intricately carved mammoth tusk charms have been found from around 30,000 years ago. In ancient Egypt, charms were used for identification and as symbols of faith and luck. 

Why do people wear a charm bracelet?
