Wedding

• Wedding bracelets, which contain wedding symbols like bells and rings, can be worn by the bride or given to her bridesmaids as a gift.
  
  

Memories

• Bracelets hold charms from sentimental occasions. Charms of the Eiffel Tower, a graduation cap, a book and a key can represent a trip to Paris, high school graduation, a college major in literature and the key to her first car.
  
  

Birthstone

• You can collect charms containing your birthstone---if you're born in May, you would pick ones with emeralds. This bracelet can also be designed for a mother with a birthstone to represent each month her children were born in.
  
  

Sacraments

• Sacramental charm bracelets have a charm added each time a girl receives a sacrament. For example, when she makes her first communion, she gets a charm with a chalice and a holy wafer.
  
  

Hobbies

• Some women collect charms related to their passions. A tennis player may have rackets and sneakers on hers; a painter may buy charms shaped like a palette, paintbrushes and picture frames.
  
  

Parenthood

• Bracelets for mothers and grandmothers have charms shaped like boys, girls or both, with a name engraved on each of them to represent their children or grandchildren.
