Charm Bracelet

A charm bracelet is a type of jewelry that worn around the wrist. Why is it called as charm bracelet, because it carries personal “charms”, which are decorative pendants or trinkets which signify important things in the wearer’s life.

The wearing of charms may have begun as a form of amulet to ward off evil spirits or bad luck. During the pre-historic period, jewelry charms would be made from shells, animal-bones and clay.

The role of charms, however changed over time from that of practical use and as a means of warding off evil, to a purely aesthetic one. It was Queen Victoria who become more popularizing this kind of jewelry at her era. She had a series of charms designed and produced to give as gifts to her extended family and circle of friends every New Year. Queen Victoria’s own fascination with charms, jewelery and pendants made charm bracelets enormously popular amongst the gentry of the time, as a luxurious fashion items. At such a time it was common for the wealthier classes to show off their fortune by wearing elaborate and exotic clothing, and the wearing of charm bracelets as a fashion accessory.

It wasn’t until World War II, however, when soldiers, who collected trinkets as a reminder of men they knew, the women they loved, and their time in the trenches, that the wearing of charms really took off throughout Britain and the rest of Europe. Fighting, often away from their loved ones for years at a time, soldiers would buy small reminders of the places they had been as presents for their families back home. Such presents, some bought, others found, seemed to encapsulate moments from the soldiers’ time away and as such charms became hugely popular as a means of capturing emotion and personal memories. Since then charms have often been collected as reminders of good times, and because they signify a great amount of sentiment which their wearers wish to carry around with them.

Nowadays charms and trinket bracelets are highly sought after the world over. Ever popular with young celebrities, charms have recently been used to promote charities, religion, good times, and just plain fun, as well as carrying the sentiment which comes with every one.

Puzzle Ring

Puzzle Ring

Puzzle Ring

A traditional puzzle ring is a type of finger ring made up of four, six, eight, or twelve interconnected rings. Contemporary designs include rings of three, five or seven bands. Puzzle rings often appear to be endless knots. Manythink this points to Celtic heritage. Reassembly is a form of mechanical puzzle. Many are Italian or English from the Renaissance period, although they are becoming more common in North America.

The story is told that in ancient times a Turkish Nobleman was so in love with his wife that he wanted to be sure she was faithful to him while he was away. He asked his jeweler to make a puzzle ring for his wife that would fall apart when removed, and he would not tell her the solution.

Some people also refer to the puzzle ring as a Turkish Wedding Band, but it is unclear how the puzzle ring acquired this name as the Turkish people do not use the puzzle ring as a wedding band. Perhaps the name was given to the puzzle ring to tempt the service men and women stationed at the numerous US military bases in Turkey, to purchase it as a token of their love for their spouses, partners and significant others back home.

The puzzle ring has seen a resurgence of popularity over the last few years. Many baby boomers remember the puzzle ring from their youth as a silver trinket they played with. Although it is unclear where the puzzle ring was first made or how it has acquired its name our family has studied the art of puzzle ring design for over 30 years.

Grill Jewely

Gril Jewelry

Grill

In hip hop culture, a grill (also front or golds) is a type of jewelry worn over the teeth. Grills are made of metal and are generally removable. They began to be worn by hip hop artists in the early 1980s, but they became widely popular during the mid-2000s due to the rise of Dirty South rap. Though grills are fitted to the tooth impression of the wearer, whether they are safe for long-term wear is unknown.

Grills have been a part of hip hop since the early days, and all indications are that they are not going anywhere anytime soon. Like everything else hip hop, grills are big business. Companies are springing up all across the country that cater to the grills market, with names like GotGrills, GoldTeeth.com, and Mr. Bling. With unlimited advertising supplied by the legions of artists rocking grills (I saw one on Regis and Kelly the other day) the grills movement may not even be at its peak.

The insertion of gems into teeth has long predated hip hop culture, with rich Mayans drilling pieces of jade into their teeth. Hip hop artists began wearing grills in the early 1980s; New Yorker Eddie Plein, owner of Eddie’s Gold Teeth, is often credited with starting the trend.

Grills remained popular in the Southern U.S. even as they rose and fell from popularity elsewhere,and the rise of Dirty South rappers in the 2000s spurred a nationwide grill trend. During this time, grills frequently appeared in hip hop music, most notably in the 2005 number one single “Grillz,” by Nelly, Paul Wall, Big Gipp, and Ali, and in other Paul Wall songs. Wall is known for his grill business as well as his rapping; his clients include Kanye West and Cam’ron.

While early grills could not be removed easily and involved reshaping the tooth itself to fit the grill, grills are today made from custom dental molds.
