Giving an Italian Charm Bracelet for
That Special Birthday
by Laura Weaver
My mother will be celebrating her 80th birthday next month.
Even though she insists she doesn't want or need anything, I would like
to give her a memorable gift for this special occasion. As
the years go by, I find it more and more difficult to buy suitable
gifts for her. She really does seem to already have
everything she wants and needs. After considering my options,
I have finally decided to create an Italian Charm Bracelet for my
mother to celebrate this milestone birthday.
An Italian Charm Bracelet would be a great gift for my
mother. It is a unique piece of jewelry that makes a simple
fashion statement when worn with either casual or dressy
ensembles. The bracelet, itself, comes in either a matte or
polished silver finish, matching her other jewelry choices.
It can easily be adjusted to fit my mother's small wrist simply by
removing links until the desired size is achieved. My
mother's arthritic fingers have a hard time fastening a clasp, but the
Italian Charm Bracelet simply stretches over her hand, eliminating this
frustrating task.
Designing an Italian Charm Bracelet is a creative experience because of
the vast assortment of Italian charms from which to choose.
They accommodate many interests and hobbies. Each selection
and combination of Italian charms makes every Italian Charm Bracelet
unique. Italian charms from which to choose include Sports
and Teams, Nature and Animals, Words and Symbols, and
Birthstones. There are also Italian charms that are
considered collectibles. Collectible Italian charms include
Care Bears, Hello Kitty, Disney, NASCAR, and Elvis, to name a few.
The Italian Charm Bracelet I want to design for my mother's 80th
birthday would include a selection of charms representing each decade
of her life. It should be designed with her strong
personality, her contagious sense of humor, and her fierce love of
family in mind. This single piece of jewelry can accommodate
all of that simply by choosing the right charms.
I have decided to start my mother's Italian Charm Bracelet with a Virgo
Zodiac Sign Italian charm to represent her birth month, of
course. Next to this would be a Disney Minnie Mouse charm for
her whimsical childhood. Her teenage years would be best
represented with a Grand Piano, because of her love of music.
Marriage and family occupied her next several decades: her
twenties, best represented by a Bride and Groom Dancing Couple charm;
Mother and Child charm for her thirties; a Grandmother charm for her
fifties. The nature charm of a bright yellow Flower (her
favorite color) with the colorful Butterfly to represent her part-time
job at the local florist in her forties is another good
choice.
Her sixties were a fun year for her, as she and Dad traveled to Hawaii
in celebration of Dad's retirement. While there, they went on
a whale-watching excursion, so the Italian charm of a Whale's Tail is a
perfect reminder of that trip. She moved to a condominium in
Florida at age 70, so the Palm Tree Italian charm would be an
appropriate choice for that decade. And for 80: a Maltese Dog
Italian charm in honor of her constant, yet demanding, companion.
My mother is going to love receiving this special gift for her 80th
birthday. It will be a constant reminder of her wonderful
life which she will truly appreciate and enjoy. Even though
she will insist she doesn't NEED it, I know without a doubt, she will
WANT this Italian Charm Bracelet.
