Charm jewelries had long been modish. Even our ancestors already started using them. Well, it seems like everyone is extremely into it regardless of gender. Both men and women would love adorning themselves with these trendy trinkets, charms or amulets. I even remembered making a trip to a local book shop one afternoon and I happened to scan one of these coffee table books which talks about making your own jewelry. Indeed, the use of charm jewelry is something that is common for every culture around the world. One thing that had really caught my attention is the quaint locket. They are not ordinary lockets with a picture in them but lockets with strands of hair in it. As I can see it, they had sort of laminated the hair in there and the other side of the locket is the picture of their loved ones. For me, that is pretty impressive. I mean, if this is going to be an heirloom, you could still take hold of the strands of hair of your great grandmother or whosoever. I’m pretty much thrilled and I’m even planning to make my own version.
