When the question arises: what can I buy (insert name of a special person here) for this special occasion, maybe a birthday, anniversary or just for a whim, why not consider a charm bracelet? There are many modern interpretations of the traditional charm bracelet and there are many different charms available – to go beyond the normal workings of mill charms, you need Storywheels. Storywheels gives the savvy jewelry shopper the opportunity to make a truly memorable gift that has lasting appeal and is worthy of the heirloom title.
Storywheels follows in the footsteps of other modern interpretations of the charm bracelet. This modern trend was successfully exploited by PANDORA, founded in 1982 and based in Copenhagen, Denmark; PANDORA now employs more than 5,000 people around the world. Storywheels’ success story with the range of beautifully crafted royal jewelry charms will be unforgettable.
Charm bracelets, of course, have been around for a long time, the original purpose was to ward off evil spirits or to endow the wearer with luck. The idea of the modern charm bracelet is something different: to record the milestones of life. Using these composable bracelets, jewelry designers such as Storywheels have provided a means for their clients to create a unique piece of jewelry that not only does this, but also provides an heirloom that can be treasured alongside the photo album of the family and provide something of real value that can be passed down from generation to generation.
The current trend for charm bracelets and charm collecting is huge. Everyone is getting into the act with the newest player introduced to the UK which is Storywheels. Storywheels come from the USA and are marketed as The Ultimate Composable Bracelet. Originating in the 1990s, the concept was born when a jewelry designer was waiting at an airport after his flight was canceled. Impressed with the idea that there must be a way to honor a woman’s life and memories through jewelery, he drew a line on a napkin and separated it with other lines showing special events, souvenirs and celebrations creating the ‘Lifeline ‘ of the woman. . These significant lines slowly turned into circles or wheels and the original line turned into a chain.
“Lifeline Storywheels” was created.
The basis of your charm bracelet is the band itself and it is this that will provide the timeline to record life’s achievements, a birthstone Storywheel to record a date of birth, a Storywheel with a pendant cross to record the first communion of a child or a gold and a channel. Establish a diamond band to celebrate an engagement. The joy of the Storywheels collection is that a wheel can be chosen for its aesthetic qualities and can take on whatever meaning you choose and serve as a reminder rather than choosing a charm that is a direct representation of an event. For example, a Storywheel with a silver stork hanging from its bracelet would be a reminder of the birth of a child, so too, a silver Storywheel with pink enamel inserts to remember the birth of your daughter or one with turquoise jewelry for the birth of a son. In this way you can build something of true beauty, interest and great sentimental value.
The Storywheels collection is compatible with most other brands of composable charm bracelets, so don’t be sad if you’ve bought (for example) a Pandora bracelet but then fall in love with Storywheels charms – you can mix and match your charms as you go. your heart’s content. .
