The History of Charm Bracelets Worn as Amulets
Modern charm bracelets are worn by all age groups from young children to adults. Charms are often passed down from one generation to the next as family heirlooms. How did the pastime of creating charm bracelets begin? Many will be surprised to learn that they were worn in prehistoric times, often to protect against bad luck or evil spirits.
Archaeologists have found countless amulets on bracelets that were worn by prehistoric people. The amulets were objects that were intended to protect their owners. Some were worn to bring good luck. The ancient amulets included gems, engraved gems, statues, drawings and rings. Engravings were often of animals, plants, meaningful words, and many other objects of importance to a specific culture.
Amulets or talismans were worn by ancient Judaic and Christian cultures for religious reasons. In the Jewish tradition, amulets were worn by many. Solomon era talismans were especially popular. Since idols were proscribed against, Jewish amulets were usually charms inscribed with names or text.
While the Catholic Church has always been cautious of using amulets or talismans, the use of sacramentals, objects blessed by the church, have been commonly used throughout the history of Christianity. Of course, the most popular sacramental used by Catholics is the crucifix. Early theologians often made reference to the sign of the cross to protect against demonic powers. Just about every culture is aware of the use of the crucifix to avert the influences of demons.
The ancient Romans used amulets extensively. This is likely because the ancient Romans were the direct inheritors of the traditions of ancient Greece and are also linked to Roman Religion where belief in magic was prevalent. Often, amulets were made depending on the association that a particular gemstone had with a god. For example, the god Mars was associated with red jasper and so was often carved from this gem. Bacchus was represented on amethyst, Jupiter on milky chalcedony, and Ceres on green jasper. Roman amulets were worn in order to imbue a person with the powers of the represented god.
The influence of ancient cultures is apparent in modern charm bracelets. Cultures from around the world wear amulets on bracelets that embody their country's ancient history that has been passed down from one generation to the next. Charm bracelets that have survived through many generations often carry with them an intriguing history that is well worth delving into.

I have approximately 200 sterling silver Catholic charms and chains - about 40 years old. Sell? Keep? Value?
i'd get them valued if you were planning on selling them,
charm bracelets are very popular at the moment and i have saw some go on ebay for lots of money,
i have a charm bracelet that i love, and i'll keep it and pass it on to my children (when i have them) just because my mum did the same for me. and i think there lovely things to have in the family
as for value, have you looked on ebay at all? and compared them against others? just an idea
hope my ramblings help
