These gold and gemstone pendants tell stories, evoke memories and present people with a touch of personality. Let's look at a few examples from the range of branded jewellery. These include a handful of new favorites that contribute to the renaissance of charm jewelry.
So there are many important steps in a person's life when creating a personal jewellery collection. As children, we often admire our mothers' and grandmothers' jewelry boxes. Filled with jewelry to be worn on special occasions or to add sparkle to an elegant evening outfit. These treasures are our first glimpse into the world of fine and high jewelry.
Then comes the first piece we have in our possession. Maybe they'll give it to us on a special occasion. But this piece is not the most exciting gift to get at a young age. But in time it will become one of your most cherished gifts.
Our first piece of jewellery is almost always a gift and most of the time it is a charm or a pendant. Whether it's rattling off a hoop bracelet or dangling from the end of a necklace chain. So this little sparkly piece ignites our desire to start making our own jewelry collection.
Charms and pendants are a form of decoration that dates back millennia.
They first appeared in 500-400 B.C. Ancient civilizations wore them as spiritual amulets, believing that they would protect them from the evil eye and enemies. These pieces were made with semi-precious or precious stones, such as lapis lazuli and rock crystal. They were then carved with symbols of gods and animals. The tradition eventually reached Europe. So in the 1890s, Queen Victoria and the sentimentality of the Victorian era brought charms back into the spotlight.
Pendants and pendants could serve as canvases for small portraits of loved ones and family members. Even as a reminder of important moments and places. This trend was carried over to the United States during World War II. So soldiers returned home with small mementos from their travels.
Charms and pendants soon reached global levels of popularity. Even high jewellery brands started creating bracelets and necklaces with pendants for the public. Iconic brands such as Tiffany & Co. introduced its first bracelet with the famous single heart charm. Today, charms and pendants have maintained their popularity, especially to celebrate loved ones and important events.
However, brands around the world are now creating them in many innovative shapes, sizes and patterns with their unique design aesthetic.
New York-based fine jewellery brand Foundrae has kept the holistic and spiritual history of this jewellery. So it creates pieces that promote mental and emotional health.

Japanese jewellery brand Milamore also adds a sense of whimsy to the charms. Their ranges, made from 18-karat gold and diamonds, are beautiful works of art that take the form of animals such as goldfish and turtles.
With inspiration from the entire natural world as well as our imagination, it is clear that this trend will be timeless. Every year brands release more and more collections of charms and pendants.
