The Neolithic era marked the beginning of wearing charm jewellery pieces. Men from this period picked up stones and made them into small pieces of charms that can protect them against their enemies.

Add to this fact, golden amulets containing some Jewish laws were also used by Jewish scholars.

Knights of the Renaissance era were also seen wearing different types of charms. They would use ladies’ favours which they wrap around their wrists and they consider these their charm bracelets. The favours, made out of cloth, had their embroideries and jewels on them.

The doors also opened for the wearing of dangling charm jewellery as popularised by Queen Victoria. Her collection contained a combination of fine silver jewellery and gold jewellery. These were designed using a couple of inspirations from what was taking place around the queen’s royal palace.

Of course, who would forget that part in history when soldiers from World War II bought trinkets as presents for their loved ones?

Since then, more and more jewellery necklace and jewelry accessories were sold to the public.
