Italian Don Meaning
Charms: The Foundation for a New Tradition for Your Family
A sense of family history is important. Some families have a great-grandmother's engagement ring, a silver tea set a grandad's brother found at an estate auction or a plastic chip and dip set in the shape of platypus your mother received as a wedding gift. Perhaps your family isn't blessed with the cherished objects or those that might even become a running joke generation after generation You don't have to fight through the spider webs in your dad's cellar trying to find something worth eventually passing along to your children, grandchildren and so on through the future generations. Instead, decide to start your own tradition beginning with the current generation. Begin to collect Italian charms.
Italian Charms bracelets are the perfect family tradition and treasure: they are not as fragile as that old vase, not so valuable that they can’t be worn on a day to day basis, and not so old that they fall out of style. And, they can continue to add meaning as each generation can add new links to the charm bracelet to reflect their own life and interests, which keeps the tradition significant, meaningful, and alive.
So how do you get started? Read on for three easy steps to follow on your way towards a new valuable family tradition:
1) Get started with an Italian charm starter bracelet.
Starter bracelets are an affordable way to get a charm bracelet started. Starter bracelets are often simple, 14 link bracelets with links that are easy to link and unlink. The importance of the starter bracelet is that it will allow you to add in personalized charms over time without running the risk of loosing loose charms; it also makes a bracelet-in-progress wearable long before you have collected all of your charms. This is a valuable way of going about creating an Italian Charm collection because you want to be patient and collect your charms over many years, not all at once.
2) Buy charms over time that reflect meaningful events or stages in the lives of each family member.
On the occasion of your children’s births, purchase charms with their birthstones, their names, or the year or place of their birth. From then on, notice what the children enjoy, their favorite toys or, as they grow older, the sports or hobbies. With this information, begin to collect Italian Charms that reflect their passions, hobbies, interests, and especially their achievements. Is your daughter an honor’s student? Is your son an expert pianist? Find Italian Charms that reflect these accomplishments and add them to their bracelets.
3) Give the charm bracelets to your children.
The giving step might be a little difficult for you. It may feel as if you're giving away part of yourself as you have taken such care over so many years to collect the pieces of memories. Select an occasion that is momentous, a transitional moment in the life of the bracelet's recipient. Find a time just before a wedding or after a graduation celebration when you can have some quality, unrushed time together. Explain to them the significance of each of the charms, and how and why you selected them as you did. Demonstrate how and where they might add on to their charm bracelets to keep the tradition alive, and how, one day, you hope that they will pass their charm bracelets on to their children (after having added charms that reflect the important events in their own children’s lives, of course).
Don't search the attic or cellar for something that you hope might have some meaning to future generations. Instead create something that will inherently serve that purpose of providing a continuing family tradition.
