What is a Charm?
These are decorative little items of jewelry, reflect the owner’s personality. Often figural in shape, 3D or flat in: silver, gold, glass, opening, moving, gem studded the variety seems endless.
In the past charms have been associated with Good Luck and have been given as Love Tokens.
Today it is great fun purchasing a suitable bracelet and adding your own charms or receiving one from a loving friend or family member, knowing that they went the extra mile and plenty of thought into selecting this little personal gem. Each charm bracelet tells a story and often a story of memory.
It is usual for a silver charm bracelet to fasten with a heart shaped padlock; this padlock snaps shut and does not use a key despite being fashioned with a key hole. Often the bracelet will also have and attached safety chain. If you look carefully there is often (but not always) an English silver hallmark to be found on the padlock and or chain.
Most small silver items will or will not have a full hallmark but if marked it will be marked 'sterling', 'silver' or 'silv' / 'sil' for short. They may also be marked 925 and manufacturer's markings such as the highly sought after Nuvo & Chim. Vintage English silver charms will almost certainly be made of .925 grade sterling silver, theoretically it is possible for them to be of a higher grade but English silver would normally adhere to this standard.
