Italian Charms: The Basis for a New Family Tradition

A sense of family history is important.  Some families have a great-grandmother's engagement ring, a silver tea set a grandad's brother found at an estate auction or a plastic chip and dip set in the shape of  platypus your mother received as a wedding gift.  Perhaps your family isn't blessed with the cherished objects or those that might even become a running joke generation after generation You don’t have to dig an old broken vase out of your father’s attic to kick-start an heirloom tradition.  Rather, initiate your own family tradition today by collecting Italian Charms for your children. 

Italian Charms bracelets are the perfect family tradition and treasure: they are not as fragile as that old vase, not so valuable that they can’t be worn on a day to day basis, and not so old that they fall out of style.  And, they can continue to add meaning as each generation can add new links to the charm bracelet to reflect their own life and interests, which keeps the tradition significant, meaningful, and alive. 

  Discover the three steps to begin the process of creating an heirloom:

1) Get started with an Italian charm starter bracelet.

You can start your tradition inexpensively with starter bracelets.  These become the foundation of the bracelets.  They are made up of individual plain links that can be connected or separated at will.  The importance of the starter bracelet is that it will allow you to add in personalized charms over time without running the risk of loosing loose charms; it also makes a bracelet-in-progress wearable long before you have collected all of your charms.  You'll want to take your time as you build your collection over many years.

2) Purchase personal charms over time as they correspond to events in your children’s lives. 

When there is a new addition to your family, choose a charm with the appropriate birthstone.  Perhaps add a charm that reflects, in some way, the community of the birth.  From then on, notice what the children enjoy, their favorite toys or, as they grow older, the sports or hobbies.  Find Italian Charms that reflect these accomplishments and add them to their bracelets.

3) Give the bracelets to your children or other family members. 

The giving step might be a little difficult for you.  It may feel as if you're giving away part of yourself as you have taken such care over so many years to collect the pieces of memories.  Choose the occasion of your daughter’s sweet sixteen, or your son’s 18th birthday, or select your children’s high school or college graduations—or even their marriages—to bestow upon them their beautiful charm bracelets.  Explain to them the significance of each of the charms, and how and why you selected them as you did.  Demonstrate how and where they might add on to their charm bracelets to keep the tradition alive, and how, one day, you hope that they will pass their charm bracelets on to their children (after having added charms that reflect the important events in their own children’s lives, of course).

Don't search the attic or cellar for something that you hope might have some meaning to future generations.  Instead create something that will inherently serve that purpose of providing a continuing family tradition.
