Charm Bracelet Charm!

[tuffyluvr]

I just had to share--I'm so excited about it! My boyfriend gave me this charm for Christmas, and I just got it back from being engraved today. Its a 14k yellow gold charm with a diamond set in the center (no idea how many pts, maybe 1/8ct or a little less?).

I am absolutely obsessed with charms--I especially love vintage charms with jewels and/or moving parts I could literally spend all day and night trawling eBay for vintage charms. If you have a charm/bracelet that you love, please share! I would love to see it!!! There is a charm thread in another topic, but I'd love to see more here too!!!

These photos were taken with my iPhone, and they don't show all the cute detail. I'll try to take better pics.

It looks awesome! Do you have a charm bracelet too or do you wear most of your charms as necklaces?

That looks cool, is it a 'badge' charm? It looks like a company that advertises in 'straight streams' or another firefighter magazine.

Does it say, LAFD, or LA co FD?

I have my mom's 1950s vintage bracelet. It's only got about 6 charms on it, though. She never finished it, so I have been collecting charms for the past few years to finish it. I have collected 4 more charms for it, but this one is by far my favorite!

Yes, it's a firefighter badge--it says LAFD. It's a tiny replica of the LACity badge. I think several jewelers do them. Not sure if this lady advertises in Straight Streams--she does advertise in The Grapevine

Pretty charm, Tuffy. You can head on over to Jewelry and take a look at the Traditional Charm Bracelet thread for some more charm eye candy.

So is your guy a firefighter? When I was a young FF wife, it was the big thing for wives to wear the little badge replicas on
a chain around your neck. I never got one but always wanted to, but now he is really close to retirement at 50 so I guess I
probably won't!!! I always thought they were so cute, a bracelet charm would be perfect. Hubby will probably want a large
replica made when he retires because he won't get to keep his badge.

So cute!

How cute!!! Maybe you will get a retirement gift too!?! I need to get a few links added to my mom's bracelet before I can wear it (she was really petite and I am not!), so I will probably wear this as a necklace for a while. He gave me a gold firetruck a couple years ago and I think they would be really cute together on a chain!
