I had a gorgeous Links of London bracelet like this one (below left) from my mum a few Christmases ago. I've been receiving the charms as gifts and slowly building it up (on the Links bracelets they dangle off the little silver links). My mum recently got one from a different make and started collecting charms herself. I love the Pandora bracelet (below right) and charms she has, they are a lot different to Links. For my graduation my Dad bought me a charm I really wanted, but he got it for a Pandora not a Links. It was the perfect opportunity for me to grab hold of a Pandora and start making my own to be a bit different from the Links one!
I have a little bit of present money from graduation, so I'm planning on getting the bracelet, and a few more charms. I'm already very familiar with their charms as I've always loved the brand, and a few friends of mine have the bracelet, so I've picked a few to go on it.
This is the lovely little graduation one my dad got me!
And these are a few I really want. What do you think? Does anyone else have a charm bracelet... or two? I must sound so greedy! But I really like this idea, because one means a lot because of each person who has got me a charm for it, and the new one will be something that I've made for myself that includes important things to me.
The teddy is because I'm still a child at heart and have always loved my teddy and still have many! The bus is for my 3 years in London, it's still a really special place to me. I really want to get the friends one for my best friend who I just went to America with, I think it's really sweet! The British Rose charm is for a military charity, and makes me think of British history from the Tudors to the World Wars. I want it because it's about all the history I've been studying for the last 3 years! Finally (so far!) Paris is probably my favourite place in the world and so it needs to be on a bracelet I make for myself.
