This is a great example of 1970s culture - girls and young women received a Sterling Charm Bracelet just like this. They received charms to mark birthdays, special occasions, travel, and charms with meanings only known by the wearer. This makes each charm bracelet different, special, and unique. The charm would be taken to a jeweler to attach to the bracelet. This chain bracelet features typical double round links that provide security for the charms and measures 7" long.
