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. Instead, decide to start your own tradition beginning with the current generation. Begin to collect Italian charms. Italian Charms bracelets are the perfect family tradition and treasure: they are not as fragile as that old vase, not so valuable that [...]

June 7th, 2011 goldfinger What if you need to get a present for a male who is purely a casual acquaintance–something that says, “Thank you very much!” Let me start at the beginning. Things had not been going well for me recently. It was nothing serious, it’s just that I had a little tension in my life. I hadn’t been sleeping well. On this night, I couldn’t seem to get to sleep. Everytime I closed my eyes, a hundred things started racing through my head. I finally decided to just get up, move to the den and watch TV for a while. I finally fell asleep on the sofa and must have slept like a baby. When I awakened, it was 7:30–an hour past my wake-up time. I could [...]
The Variety and Charm of the Italian Charm Bracelet
June 6th, 2011 goldfinger As per their namesake, Italian charms originated from Italy. From there, slowly but surely the trend caught on that even football stars started to wear them with their national flags as a symbolic pride. It was only rather recently, circa the early 1990s that America caught on to this trend. But the popularity of these charms has continued to flourish there and more and more people are being drawn to them. Italian charms are gaining popularity as a fashion accessory not only amongst the youngsters but also for ladies and gentlemen of all ages, regardless of race, religion, status or citizenship. These charms are unique in the sense that they can be tailored to suit an individual’s personal tastes. The Italian charm bracelet is almost [...]
A Little Bracelet Symbolizes a Mother’s Vibrant Life
May 29th, 2011 goldfinger Everyone has a story about their mother. Mothers are as different as their unique personalities. Some are patient and kind. Some are loud and obnoxious. Others are very opinionated. In spite of these characteristic differences in a mother’s personality, they do the best that they can, as there is no wrong way to love their child. Let me first point out that being a mother is the most challenging, yet rewarding, experience in a woman’s life. Women have the ability to love their child unconditionally, in spite of the circumstances. It is said that a Mother’s Love begins at the very thought of conception and never ends; not even after death. My mother is celebrating her eightieth birthday in a couple months. She is one [...]
What Is It About Italian Charms?
May 13th, 2011 goldfinger Italian charms are modular jewelry that can be designed to fit the personality of anyone that wears them. The style began in the late 1980s in Italy. The bracelets became so popular that soccer players wore bracelets sporting their country’s colors. By the early 1990s, American tourists to Italy brought the trend back to the United States. An Italian charm starter bracelet consists of 18 blank individual rectangular links. Standardized sizing allows for each piece to be interchangeable with any Italian charm. Unlike traditional charm bracelets that dangle off a chain, the Italian charm bracelet allows for a complete look that can be changed depending on the wearer’s mood and/or changing interests. Charms may be used to represent anything. The most common charm representations are [...]
