Do you envy those families that pass down watches, rings and other precious heirlooms, wishing your family had something significant and meaningful to pass along generation after generation?  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. 

These charms, personally assembled by you into an Italian charm bracelet are much sturdier than fragile old china and can become a much more interesting conversation piece.  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 begin?  Read on for three easy steps to follow on your way towards a new valuable family tradition:

1) Begin by purchasing a starter bracelet.

Starter bracelets are an affordable way to get a charm bracelet started.  These become the foundation of the bracelets.  They are made up of individual plain links that can be connected or separated at will.  Since the starter bracelets are made of a series of plain, individual charms, each carefully selected charm that you add will become a point of contrast and interest in the changing, overall design.  You'll want to take your time as you build your collection over many years.

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.  Choose the occasion of your daughter’s sweet sixteen, or your son’s 18th birthday, or select your children’s high school or college graduations—or even their marriages—to bestow upon them their beautiful charm bracelets.  Tell them about the importance of their new heirloom, the meaning behind every charm and how each charm should remind them of an important chapter in their lives.  Stress the importance of keeping the tradition going, and encourage them to continue adding charms until the time comes for them to pass the bracelet along to the next generation.

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.
