“Ringarde!” Remember how Pierre Cadault screamed in “Emily in Paris Season 1 Episode 6” for wearing a bag charm! Well, Hah! The joke’s on you because Charms are back, baby, and they are uber cool and chic!
Every girl in the 2000s has owned her charm bracelets and bag charms and flaunted them like they meant everything to her! Believe it or not, the millennial trendsetters and fashionistas were a different breed! You see how the millennial fashion trends keep coming back!
Charm bracelets hold a particular spot for us, giving us major nostalgic vibes! For some of us at Vogue Vocal, Charm Bracelets were our first piece of jewelry! Now, it’s not as easy as it looks! Wearing your entire personality on your sleeve is not for the faint-hearted! Nowadays, you can get bracelets where you pick your charms, so a lot of thought goes behind picking every element that will be dangling across your wrist! Bag Charms were the whole personality; every time we walked, you would lose track of where all of those dangling, clanking sounds were coming from! Could it be from our bracelet charms, bag charms, phone charms, or the charms on our keychains; you’d never find out!
Since the Holiday season is upon us, here’s your perfect idea for a girls night or a date with your beau! You need just a few supplies, your basic bracelet chain, pick a box of charms, some rings, and the pointy pliers and you can DIY your own charm bracelets or make one for your partner! Trust us, back in the early 2000s we have all done such DIY’s and we were very successful with it!
Lucky for you, if you aren’t a very crafty person, DIY Jewelry or Personalized Jewelry outlets are open everywhere now! You can go and pick your charms and get your customized bracelet or anklet made in no time! At Vogue Vocal, we are totally keeping this idea on our list, next time we play “Swipe left and right on Tinder!”
What we are thinking about right now is something with a personal touch! You know how some people like to get important events or names tattooed, this is the painless, aesthetic, and joyful version of a tattoo! Take your time and pick a charm that represents and important milestone or an important person in your life and keep adding to it! This will make your Charm Bracelets a great conversation piece and something you’d cherish for a long time even if the trend dies down for some time!
Have you ever put together a simply awesome mood board that you want to show off? A Charm Bracelet is your chance to wear your mood board! A cat, a book, a coin, a pearl; there is no limit! It doesn’t have to make sense to anyone but you! It’s your aesthetic and things you love enough to wear on your wrist! So before you get your Charm Bracelets, you might want to plan a mood board to see what you want!
When it comes to picking Charm Bracelets, you can go for a classic silver or gold base and add colorful charms, or you can go for the same color and pick different elements in that color palette! So you can obviously get more bracelets, mix and match those with your outfits, and have fun!
We understand that the ideas of charm bracelets might not settle well with everyone! Wearing it to work where it would create a noise louder than thunder every time it touches your Macbook would be embarrassing! But here’s the deal: not all charm bracelets or bag charms must be “ringarde.” You can go for a sophisticated, miniature, less glitzy, clanky, and more elegant vibe!
Can you imagine styling and accessorizing trinkets on a ….hear us out…Birkin Bag? Yes, you read that right! The bag charms trend isn’t something created by the millennials; it has gained hype off and on for quite some decades! Jane Birkin was the OG trendsetter for the bag charms; the rest is history! Everything is a green flag, from big chunky chains to scarves and statement Coach bag charms!
Just like the charm bracelets, you have got plenty of options for the bag charms as well! You can pick your favorite ready-made items or you can customize your bag charms with stuff you like!
One can make your bag charms more practical by adding stuff that you need on hand without having to open your bag! You can go for a lip gloss charm and you will use it all the time, trust us! You can even pick a mini bag for your bag and put your keys, lip balm, or other quick use accessories in the bag charm!
Elizabeth Taylor devoured this trend way before any of us, and she nailed it! Her charm bracelet is such an iconic fashion statement!
Bette Davis’s charm bracelets were a major slay moment! That’s where you get all your inspo from the divas!
Not like she needs accessories to stay relevant but keeping up with the Kardashians, Kendal Jenner was seen with this Fendi fuzzy bag charm!
Supermodel Gigi Hadid was seen on the red carpet with a Fendi bag charm!
