i’m thinking about what i want to make in next week’s carved wax jewelry class, with jennifer sarkilahti…
the heart charm in the top photo was my great grandmother’s. she had a bracelet made with gold hearts for each of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. the hearts were etched with our names, birthdays, and had our birth stones in the center (mine fell out), and we each got our own heart when she died. my two charm bracelets in the bottom photo came from my mom and my grandmother. the top one was my grandma’s– made with charms from my grandfather’s fraternity. the bottom one is my mom’s– made with charms she collected when she was a kid. so, i’m thinking about either making a charm to add to one of my bracelets, or a simple pendant carved with initials. or maybe small shapes that can be strung on a cord. it’s hard to decide!

such a sweet present from your great grandmother. i have one of those tiffany charm bracelets from high school, haven't worn it in ages. i prefer yellow gold to silver metals, but it would be lovely to have a handmade charm to add to it. wish i could attend the jewelry class!
Those charm bracelets are what charm bracelets should be – meaningful and lovely. That's something you can keep forever and pass down thru generations – so cool!
those are so amazing! i love charms! and you must show us what you make in the class!

I love charm bracelets! and the stories behind all of those are great. This makes me want to finally get one for myself.
I used to have that triangular charm that spins to make a star of david. I've never seen another one like it.
