People of All Ages Are Wearing Charm Jewelry Again

Like leopard print and ballet flats, charm jewelry is one of those trends that just keeps coming back around. And we never tire of it. Every new iteration has a fresh take on charm necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, and now even handbags. This season, charms are back and bigger than ever, so bust out your vintage baubles.

Charm jewelry goes back centuries, but Tiffany & Co.'s iconic bracelet (which came out in 1889) was the first foray into the trend for many of us. What's so special about charm jewelry is how personal and unique it is. Whether you choose each individual charm yourself or you buy a piece with a preselected set, the charms often speak to us emotionally or reflect important moments and milestones, such as an apple for a New Yorker or the birthstone of a child. There are infinite ways to wear the trend, from colorful and chunky adornments to dainty and neutral trinkets. Folks of all ages are getting back into charms, so whatever you choose, have some fun with it.
