Charm Bracelet History
The history of charm bracelets from Wikipedia
The wearing of charms may have begun as a form of amulet to ward off evil spirits or bad luck.
In ancient Egypt charms were used for identification and as symbols of faith and luck. Charms also served to identify an individual to the gods in the afterlife. Medieval knights wore charms for protection in battle. Charms also were worn in the dark ages to represent family origin, religious and political convictions.
Charm bracelets have been the subject of several waves of trends. Queen Victoria wore charm bracelets that started a fashion among the European noble classes. Soldiers returning home after World War II brought home trinkets made by craftsmen local to the area where they were fighting to give to loved ones, American teenagers in the 1950s and early 1960s collected charms to record the events in their lives. Although interest and production waned through the latter part of the 20th century, there was a resurgence of popularity after 2000 and collectors eagerly sought out vintage charms. Due to the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, the fashion in winter 2006 is bracelets with little charms of swords, crosses and skulls.

Italian Charm Bracelets
Information on Italian charm bracelets from about.com
Italian charm bracelets brought a whole new look to the world of charms. Instead of dangling from a chain, Italian charm bracelets have charms that are soldered to flat links. The links pop on and off of a stretchy bracelet. Add charms to each empty slot as your collection grows and quickly switch charms to match your mood.
The charm bracelets originated in Italy. Those bracelets used a high quality stainless steel for the charm link bases, usually with 18K gold charms soldered on top.
