Hi. This bracelet isn't rare or unusual or even very valuable. It is a charm bracelet I have assembled over that past I don't want to say how many years (lol). I just thought these bracelts were really neat but when I saw them at the thrifts or antiques malls, they seemed so personal and didn't reflect my travels. I started just buying charms as I saw them at estate sales, thrifts and a couple at my little antiques mall. Some of the charms I bought 4 or 5 years ago when this little jewelry shop had a retirement sale. I never had a bracelet to put them on so they sat in the drawer quite awhile. Then a couple of weeks ago, at one of my favorite thrifts they had a sterling bracelet. Viola, I assembled my charm bracelet. I have Disneyland's castle, Sear's tower (which is no longer called that I believe), Empire State building and Statue of Liberty, a groundhog from Wall Drug in South Dakota ( I actually bought that one there). I bought the Jerome Arizona charm even though I had never been there, I have been to Tuscon. I bought the badminton shuttlecock because it reminded me of the huge Claus Oldenburg shuttlecock on the lawn of the Kansas City Art Museum. Each reminds of a trip.
Thanks for stopping.
Beautiful charm bracelet, you've assembled a great cross section of lovely charms, esp love the travel landmarks
Love it, your own personal collection of charms assembled on an nice link bracelet. I did something similar, with a mix of sorts, the small stone hearts popular mid 70s, the silver toys, the single earrings with a nice drop to use, the more recent odd charm in jewelry lots. Etc. Bet you would rather look at it than wear it. Thanks for posting.

Great use of the Indian head penny! Beautiful bracelet!
plein-air, I have not posted it, but it is a good idea, I also have some loose charms I find special in sterling silver that came from other people's estate sale auctions.
This week I will do it and give you a link. Thanks.
