I have a charm bracelet from when I was a kid that has charms from all of our vacations, as well as major life events. It's Sterling Silver, and I still treasure it. I'll keep my eyes open and let you know if I find anything! Run turkey, RUN! (Little man in the avatar is my nephew.)

I'm sure you could get one small enough for children. You can add such pretty charms..it takes a while to complete the bracelet, or you can just add a few..I prefer the look with only 4-6 charms on it.

MaryAlaina Ideal Rock Total Posts: 651 Last Post: 2/4/2009 Member Since: 9/3/2003	Tiffany has some gorgeous charms! They are definitely ones that would last a child beyond growing up and be appropriate to wear forever. They have charms in both silver and gold, and many with various stones. I think they start around $100 each, but run up to over $1000 (for the ones with diamonds or gemstones). Check them out! Any of these would be classic and not something trendy that would not be in style in a few years.

I have a SS charm bracelet with handmade ones I buy from markets/ silversmiths - its a fun tradition to start ! Unless you can find a reliable local artisan, I second the suggestion of Pandora - I have only seen pics of them in mags, but they look fun and girly. http://www.pandoracharmbracelets.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "And let today embrace the past with remembrance and the future with longing."

bebe Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,998 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 11/20/2007	mela lu, how sweet and thoughtful of you. I love charm bracelets. I remember the jingle jangle of mine when I was in Jr. High/High School many years ago. ;) You could start with a wire bracelet from James Avery and add any charm. And then slip the charms off to a larger bracelet as they grow. Or just do the traditional thing with a link charm bracelet. Rembrandt (sp) has tons of charms, I used to have their catalog and found so many ideas in there. I love the Pandora and Troll bead charm bracelets too. I have 1 that is full and a new one I need to start adding to soon. These bracelets are easy to switch the charms to a larger size bracelet as the kiddos grow. Good luck, keep us posted what you decide on. Love the idea.

AGBF Ideal Rock Total Posts: 8,047 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 1/26/2003	Here is a link to an old thread about charm bracelets. It isn't very long, but it has several links to other threads embedded in it! I hope it is useful. I adore charm bracelets. My daughter and I both have them. A charm bracelet was featured in one of Margaret Maron's mysteries, her Deborah Knott series, and it really made me want one! http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=76552 Deb A Girl's Best Friend

rainydaze Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,498 Last Post: 5/19/2009 Member Since: 5/1/2007	i just checked out the james avery and those are lovely! i just gave my friend a pandora bracelet and started her off with a few key charms... my intention is to give her a new charm for special occasions or to commemorate moments in life. they have such a wide selection and variety that i would definitely recommend them since you are planning to do the same thing. i ordered online as she lives across the country from me, but i recently saw her and she was wearing it - it looked way better in person than it does online. i was pleasantly impressed! oh, and adding charms is so easy. my DH gave me a Tiffany charm bracelet recently (sterling silver). it is beautiful, but harder to fill (IMO) because the charms are a bit pricey. also, depending up on the charms you choose it can be a pain to add them - i have to take it to Tiffany along with three charms because i would prefer them to sauder the charm's link to the bracelet's link rather than to use their clunky spring clasp to connect them.

mela lu Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,320 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 11/21/2006	Awwwwwwwww what a great response!!! Thank your for all of your suggestions! gekodani, beau, MaryAlaina, Arjunajane, MMT, bebe, MrsV, Mommabear, maiyavel, AGBF, rainydaze - thank you! I love the Pandora ones. From what I can see, the charms end up sitting side-by-side, right? Do they slide around the bracelet when there is only a couple on? I like the James Avery because it's more of a traditional style and could probably transition into adulthood. Now the challenge is to see if they sell them in Canada. To the 1-800-numbers I go!!!!!!!!! ETA: Sadly James Avery does not have any retail outlets in Canada. Le sigh. I'm waiting to hear back from Elisa Ilana (Pandora).
