			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Family Italian charms have been around for thousands of years. The history of these charms is as fascinating as the ornaments themselves. Family Italian charms all stand for different things, but one thing is for sure, they were used in everyday living. The charms were believed to carry different powers and for that reason the charms where carried on string around the neck to be kept close to the heart. These charms were made from everything from rocks, to gems, and even gold. They say that depending on what the charm was made out of, it would have different meanings. Of course no one charm was the same to every Italian family, and charms that looked alike could have had different meanings to different families.<span id="more-9"></span>These family Italian charms were made for healing, rituals, and some believed they carried mystical abilities. Depending on what the charm was made out of, would help show what the charm did. Of course there is no set in stone chart for what every different charm means, because it would change for family to family. They were also given to family members for protection, this is why mother and child charms were very popular. Mothers would give their children charms to help keep the child  safe when they were not at home. Because charms where worn on chains around the neck, it also kept that family member close to your heart at all times. This is why you some charms hold pictures of loved ones in side them. Its to hold that family member close to your heart. Some charms were believed to hold the power of healing, so people who were sick would wear the charm on a chain so it would be close to the heart, to help them get better. So as you can see, they were used for many different things Family Italian charms were even given as treasured ornaments, of course this was only seen in the wealthy families. Soon after, these so called charms became very popular and where started to be dressed up more. It was no longer just a symbol, it was also a piece of jewelry that was made to look nice.</p>
<p>During the 19th century, family Italian charms typically became mostly necklaces and bracelets to be worn on the body as jewelry. It was no longer just  a wealthy family thing  to have pretty charms. Most families started passing down family charms as they passed away. It was a way to keep loved ones close even after they passed to the other side. Now  a days, charms are made by machines, so they can be made into affordable jewelry for everyone. You can still buy real Italian charms but they may never carry the same meaning as old family Italian charms. They are made more for looks now, but it can still be a great way to pass on the memory of a loved one after death.</p>
<p>Even through family Italian charms are made mostly for jewelry now, we cant forget their past and what great powers they where believed to have. Many still believe in these powers to this day. It is hard to find old family Italian charms, but they are still out their. Most are kept within families, and thats why we are not able to get our hands on them. Of course that could be a good thing, because those charms hold  great meaning to the families that keep those charms. If you need to find a place to buy amazing looking Italian charms you can find many places that sell it on the Internet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever wished you could create a bracelet that is all about you and your interests?  Or are you a child of a Mom who collects these charms?  Would like to start a new hobby?  Mother charm bracelets and charm necklaces are interesting to collect and trade.  They have so many interesting topics from which you can choose.  If Mom has a birthday coming up or you need a Christmas present, take a look at these pretty little charms and find something that she will really like and cherish for a long time.  Who knows?  You may even like them so much that you start your own collection.  Then you can have your own mother charm bracelet as well.<span id="more-8"></span>Mother charm bracelet are especially popular these days especially at the birth of a child.  You can find all kinds of cute little charms to use.  There are baby bottles, a pacifier, It&#8217;s a boy or girl charm, booties, or you may be able to get the new child&#8217;s name on a charm.  Some places will give you a bracelet free and then you buy the charms to go with it.  So find all you can for the new mom.</p>

<p>In addition to the little charms you may find, you can also choose to insert beads and silver balls in between the charms on your mother charm bracelet or necklace.  These add a decor of distinction and quaintness to the collection.  Throwing in different colors of beads will add to the colorful array of beads and charms.  Most are made of fourteen karat gold and sterling silver.  The balls are gold filled to keep them from getting crushed.  Moms are expected to wear these everyday at time and they should last a good long while.</p>
<p>There are several different clasps you can choose from as well.  There is a lobster claw, a toggle, and a bull&#8217;s eye clasp.  The lobster claw looks like just that.  A long end with a short end t secure your bracelet.  A toggle is an open circle and has a bar that pokes through it.  These are bought usually with a safety chain in case they come apart.   The bull&#8217;s eye is also known as a pinch and plug connector.  It is the most secure and safest clasp out there.</p>
<p>To get the correct size for your mother charm bracelet, measure around the wrist and add half an inch to the total.  The average size is a seven for most people.  If you are trying to measure someone else&#8217;s bracelet for a size, then measure bead to bead and add half an inch.  This should tell you what size to get them so you can be sure it will fit.  Measure carefully, resizing will cost you more.</p>
<p>So get your mother charm bracelet and pick some unique charms for Mom.  She will appreciate the thought that went into it for a long time.  She will think of you every time she wears the bracelet and what each charm represents.  You could start a tradition of giving the females in the family one charm each year to represent something they have done in that year.  There is no limit on what you can create for yourself and others.</p>
