.....are a great way to pull a bunch of those odds and ends in the bottom of your jewelry box together in one place. You can tell that I love little trinkets and charms...and I never part with any of them. I've done several posts on my other charm bracelets. To make a "catch all" bracelet you just need to purchase tiny jump rings and a bracelet to connect them to. Below are two bracelets that I've compiled with items collected over the years.
My eclectic "catch all" bracelet: I've started adding necklace pendants from my jewelry box that never get worn anymore.....I still have a ways to go. I've also added some random trinkets that could be connected by a jump ring.
A ring that I made when I was younger from a horse shoe nail while I was waiting for my horse to be shod:
A small fish charm I brought back from China when I went to school there:
An old dog tag of Diesel's (not my phone number anymore, so don't go and try to dial me up) and my grandfather's old lutheran medal:
An gold-leafed sand-dollar my mother and I bought at the beach in the early 90's:

Two necklace pendants from high school, a rock crystal (remember those?) and a small mosaic I bought in Rome:
My old allergy medical alert and a locket my mother wore when she was younger:
My religious medal bracelet: Religious medals, crosses and angels I've collected over the years.
Various crosses.....

ReplyDeleteI only have two Tiffany tags on my bracelet-one with my maiden name monogram and one with my married name. BORING! :)
I LOVE charm bracelets. My Mother-in-Law has given me a few of hers from when she just started nursing school and when she was a teenager. Oh how I cherish them!
