Heart Charms - The Ideal Gift For Any Occasion
May 13th, 2009, Posted in birthstone, brooches, diamonds, earrings, heart chain, heart charms, heart jewellery, mens jewellery, pendant charms, valentines day, womens jewelleryWhen you give heart charms as a gift it is a way of telling the person you are giving it to that you love them. The most common date for giving heart related presents is February 14th, St Valentine’s Day. Stores are filled with heart cakes, heart cookies, heart shaped boxes of chocolates and of course heart jewellery.
Telling someone you love them is not confined to Valentines Day or to that special partner. There are many occasions that can be commemorated with personalized heart charms. Give them as a special anniversary gift, for a special Mother’s Day present, to let Grandma know that she is loved or to thank a special friend for just being there. Whoever the present is for they are sure to appreciate the fact that you have sought out something special just for them.
How about a heart charm with the birthstone of the recipient set into it? Or how about giving one to a new mom with the birth date and name of their new baby on it? And I really like the padlock and key heart charms from Things Remembered that you can have engraved with your own message. In fact Things Remembered has a whole selection of charms for every occasion in their charm story collection.
The great thing about heart charms is that they can be worn on a bracelet or chain around the neck or even on a keying. And there are so many different sorts to choose from depending on your budget and taste. The saying goes that “diamonds are forever” so maybe the perfect gift for the love of your life would be a diamond studded heart charm.
One of my favorite collections of heart charms is “The Open Heart” designs by Jane Seymour. These make ideal gifts for friends or family and are really beautiful. My husband bought me one of these charms for Christmas and I never take it off. You can now show that special man in your life how much you love him as there are Open Hearts cufflinks in this collection!
Very popular throughout history have been locket heart charms. Some ladies kept pictures of their husbands or fiancé in them with a lock of their hair especially if their loved one was in the military and away from home. Moms often keep photos of their baby and their first curl when it is cut off. These are lovely keepsakes and very personal as the wearer can keep their loved ones close all the time.
There are many different kinds of heart charms to choose from to suit any occasion so remember you can give your heart to that special someone any time not just on St Valentines Day.
