Bracelets made of twisted coil with lion head ends were common place, as were the two part bracelets ending with a pair of lion heads. The Heracles knot bracelet is recognized as a Roman era piece.
The Roman’s were very creative in the designing of their jewelry. However they still borrowed from Greek motifs. Palmettos, fleeing dogs and acanthus leaves, all of Greek origin, were often seen in the designing of Roman jewelry.
Choosing Your Size
The final point to be said about charm bracelets is to make sure you get the right size. Remember that your bracelet has to be able to fit a number of charms on it and so you don’t want it to be too tight against your wrist before you begin. To find out what size charm bracelet to buy you should measure your wrist with a measuring tape or bit of string.
Bracelet Clasps
Not only are the charms more securely fastened to the bracelets nowadays, but the bracelets themselves have several different kinds of clasp. Lobster clasps are probably the most common. These are quite standard for bracelets and feature a trigger opening which is very easy to use. However, because of the ease of the clasp opening, many charm manufacturers also sell safety chains for their bracelets. These provide additional security to keep the bracelet fastened should the lobster clasp spring open. Other companies employ their own special clasps such as the Pandora locking clasp. This style of clasp opens like a clam shell and is incredibly tight and therefore difficult to prise apart. Depending on what brand of charm bracelet you buy, you can even choose a clasp made with a different finish to that of the main body of the bracelet. For instance, it is possible to buy sterling silver bracelets with gold clasps.
Bracelet Types
Charm birthstone bracelets are also becoming available in a wide variety of different materials. While the unbranded varieties are usually available in sterling silver, bigger brands such as Trollbeads and Links of London also sell charm bracelets made of 18ct gold, dyed leather and even string. Silver bracelets can often be purchased with a highly polished or matte finish and there are even oxidised silver bracelets available. These bracelets have an almost black appearance due to the oxidation process.
