Women: Do you still wear a charm bracelet?

Yes, but I only wear it on special occasions.It's not a great big chunky thing,it's very delicate.

My daughter bought it for me about 20 years ago, and for Christmas or birthdays she would buy me yet another gold charm to add to it...it would always be something that represented whatever might be happening in our lives at that time.. Now it's really full and has no more space for charms...

That I'd like to see.
 
I soooo wanted a great big jangly charm bracelet in high school. They were so fashionable and everybody who had one was always comparing their charms to other girls' bracelets. All I had was a puny little thing with three puny little charms on it that I got as a graduation gift and I never wore it. I still have it for some reason.
 
My mother was notorious for getting rid of our stuff when she thought we were too old for have these items, i.e. doll house, Barbies, etc. I remember she apologized to me when she would remember those items. I still have a birthstone ring that she gave me many moons ago and a diamond pendant as well.
 
No. I was never really a jewelry fan, plus I took shop class in school and wearing stuff like this is asking for trouble. Plus charm bracelets were far too busy and heavy for me. A few years ago my husband bought me a pandora charm bracelet and while cute, it drove me crazy and that was with only one charm on it. The only jewelry I now wear is my ‘new’ engagement ring with matching wedding band.

It was so long ago, I spent many moons chipping and carving and polishing away at precious stones to make my lady a charm bracelet, but before she could wear it, I had to invent the wheel to make a little truck to carry the bracelet, and that was inbetween butchering the odd dynosaur for our dinners. :)
 
At one time, I wore bracelets pretty regularly. Sold some silver charms along with coins. These days, I only wear rings and pierced earrings (but not earrings since wearing a Covid mask). However, I do wear a couple of bracelets I was given as gifts, when I go out for dinner with the person who gave them to me.

I think my charm bracelet was in amongst all my other stolen jewellery :(

I don't think I've seen any woman wear one in decades, quite honestly.

One Facebook friend always wears hers. I don't think I could stand it; I'm sure they are heavy with all of the charms. I don't wear bracelets any longer; I hate when water gets into them, especially nowadays when we wash our hands ALL the time. I also stopped wearing necklaces. Wear earrings when I remember and always wear my wedding rings.
 
Charm bracelets were not popular anymore where I was in high school so I didn't have one. Years later my mom bought me a modern charm bracelet that has a silver disc with my initial and one crystal charm on it. I do wear that bracelet occasionally. 🤗
 
I think their popularity depends on a woman or women. I know that during my high school years (graduated in the early 1970s), the girls were wearing them. Or perhaps it is a regional thing?!:unsure::unsure::unsure:
 
I don't like anything that looks like clutter or jangles. I do have charm bracelets handed down from my Grandmother but they lie in the bank, heaven knows what the children will do with them when I fall off the perch.
