During the remaining months of 2007, the makers of animal Italian charms might see a sudden increase in the orders for a charm with the picture of an elephant. Such orders would no doubt come from the membership of one or more animal rights’ group. The motivation for such orders would have most probably arisen from a decision by the South African government.

The South African government does not hope to spur the sale of animal Italian charms. The South African government wants to halt the rapid growth of the elephant population within that country. The government has agreed to allow limited culling of elephants.

The approach of the year 2012 might lead to an increased interest in a different one of the animal Italian charms. During the year 1912 both Arizona and New Mexico became states in the United States. Big horn sheep, one of the animals on the Italian charms, can be found in the mountains of New Mexico and Arizona.

Iranian-American fathers might want to examine a website that offers animal Italian charms. Such an examination could help such a father to find a gift for a teen or pre-teen daughter. At least one website has three different charms that display a picture of a white tiger. White tigers have long been hunted in the mountains of Iran.

By contrast, Chinese-American fathers might have a more limited choice. Among the available animal Italian charms on one website there is only one with the picture of a panda bear. The panda bear, a lover of bamboo leaves and bamboo shoots, has become a recognized and beloved symbol of China.

Both the Iranian-American fathers and the Chinese-American fathers could make their gift of an animal charm really special. They could do that by ordering one of the animal birthstone charms. The father would, of course, need to be sure that he ordered a stone from the proper month, i.e. the month in which his daughter had been born.

A father coming from any part of the world could please his daughter by choosing one of the animal Italian charms that pictures an animal family. At least one website has one charm with a polar bear and cubs, one charm with a mother penguin and babies and one charm with a leopard and cubs. Any young girl would not doubt enjoy receiving a charm with one of those adorable pictures.

A father might have discovered that his daughter is a real horse lover. If that is the case, then that father might want to purchase an Italian charm that has the picture of one or more horses. That gift would certainly bring a smile to his daughter’s face.

The anticipation of that smile has placed mention of the horse charms in this article about anticipating requests for animal Italian charms.

Jewelry is an expression of people’s identity and creativity. There are many types of jewelry to choose from. I like to wear rings, earrings, and charms. In fact, I do have a charm bracelet. On my charm bracelet I have a gold barbell and a 14 karat gold camera charm. I still need to place my gold animal charms of a poodle and a Black Labrador Retriever on my charm bracelet. These gold animal charms represent my love for my poodle named Coco Puff and my Black Labrador Retriever named Precious Bear. In fact, because I wear gold animal charms people will know that I love dogs in general and poodles and labs in particular. Many professionals that work with animals such as veterinarians and marine biologists may wear gold animal charms on necklaces, rings, and bracelets. Moreover, wearing gold animal charms is much easier than carrying around a statue of your favorite animal on a daily basis.

Gold animal charms provide some personal information about the people who wear them. If you like dogs you might wear a gold dog charm of some kind. If you are a cat lover then you might wear a cat charm of some kind on a bracelet or on a necklace. Both my friend and I have a 14 karat gold dolphin charm because we love the sea, marine life, and visiting Sea World. In addition, I took marine biology in college therefore; I know much information about many ocean and sea creatures, especially dolphins and sea otters which are two of the marine animals that are represented on gold animal charms. In fact, I purchased both a dolphin 14 karat gold charm and a sea otter 14 karat gold charm in celebration of getting an A in marine biology. This illustrates that gold animal charms can be used as a reward for a job well done. I love gold animal charms.

Gold animal charms can and often are purchased as gifts. My friend got a 14 karat gold pug charm when she and her husband got a pug from a pet store. By the way, the puppy’s name is Duff. Gold animal charms are cute and wonderful; however, the actually animals represented by these kinds of gold charms are cuter than the gold animal charm themselves. In fact, many people have purchased gold animal charms that represent all of their past and present animals; therefore, they have a very large gold charm collection that is strictly dedicated to animals. Moreover, people who work in animal shelters might have an animal charm or two. In fact, my friend has a 14 karat gold boxer charm because she wishes to get a boxer when she buys a home. It seems like gold animal charms are very popular and here to stay.

For those who like jewelry, Italian charms are a fun and creative way to express themselves.  They are just as fun or more fun than traditional charms and have brought a new look to charms. Traditional charms hang from a chain such as a bracelet or necklace.  However, Italian charms are individual pieces that are soldered onto a flat, modular link.  These links are hooked together to make jewelry and other accessories such as bracelets, watches, and key chains.  The pieces come in all shapes, sizes, designs, and colors.  They can be mixed and matched to make a truly unique piece of jewelry. 

Until eight to ten years ago, Italian charms were virtually unheard of in the United States.  However, since their introduction, they have taken off like a whirlwind.  The craze that started on the West Coast has made its way to the East Coast. Because Italian charms can include almost any picture including custom made pictures, animal and pet lovers can make bracelets and other jewelry of their beloved pets or favorite animals.

There are many different styles of animal Italian charms including the following:

1. Hand-painted Italian charms are created individually using enamel paints and epoxy coating.

2. Laser Italian charms, which are usually etched designs, letters, or words, are made of stainless steel.  This style can be easily customized to include names or phrases that are not found in regular stock.

3. X2 Italian charms that Pugster manufactures feature double thick enamel.  This allows the image to have more depth and finer detail.

4. Photo Italian charms are actual digital, photographic images that are burned onto the face of the charm.  This technique is great for making animal Italian charms because it can be customized.

For animal lovers who are looking to create the perfect bracelets using animal Italian charms, getting started is quite easy. They would purchase a starter bracelet that consists of eighteen blank links.  To personalize the bracelet, they would replace the blank links, one by one with designs of pets or animals.  The fun part about the process is that the links can be replaced allowing people to create different bracelets for different styles, outfits, occasions, or moods.

The link bases for charms are made from various materials; however, link bases for the original charm bracelets manufactured in Italy were made of high quality stainless steel, and usually had 18K gold charms smoldered on top.

Some people may be more interested in creating a charm bracelet that reflects their faith.  There are many charms that are made into religious symbols and deities.  Animal religious gold charms such as doves can symbolize a person’s connection with a higher power.

There are several manufacturers of animal Italian charms. Unodomani, Brunoz Zanetti, Puzzle Talexia, and Roma are amongst the top manufacturers.  Fortunately, most Italian charms are interchangeable with modulars made by other manufacturers.  Of course, price varies with the manufacturer and the quality of the charms.  High quality stainless steel and gold charms range in price from $15 to $50.  On the other hand, some charms are as little as $1.95. 

If you have a beloved pet and like to wear jewelry, creating animal Italian charms bracelet might be something that you are interested in doing.

If you love to wear jewelry pieces that depict an animal, then Italian charms are very likely the kinds of jewelry you will enjoy wearing.  As a matter of fact, animal Italian charms have become world famous! On silver backing, the often golden and white, blue or red animals make striking features on a bracelet.  The charming details often depicted in the renditions of dolphins, starfish, or even cats are rarely seen in other pieces of jewelry.

It is important to remember that animal Italian charms are designed to fit on modular link jewelry, and as such the sizing of the pieces is important. It would not do to have a variety of links of different sizes and weights, thereby compromising the light-weight properties of such charm bracelets. Instead, animal Italian charms are usually about 9mm in size plus or minus 1.5 mm.  Men prefer to wearer larger charms, while children usually wear smaller ones. While it is not unusual for American men to wear jewelry, it is a sign of the times that this Italian favorite finally has found its way into genuine acceptance of both men and women.

Animal Italian charms come in a wide variety of styles as well.  While animal depictions are the general motif, some renditions are more stylized while others are true to nature. The more expensive charms will feature intricate detail work, such as finely carved feathers, painstakingly recreated scales, or even detailed fur.  Generally, however, these pieces are considered costume jewelry, and therefore the detail work is limited. Sometimes these bracelets will be part or a watchband.  In these cases the charms are made of 18 karat gold mounted on stainless steel with removable links in between.  Since there are so many varieties available, this kind of jewelry is truly appropriate for all occasions and pocket books.

Of course, while animal Italian charms are all the rage, the market has been expanded for the American taste.  Here you will be able to purchase charms that depict the symbol of your favorite college, the mascot of your favorite football team, or any other set of characters.  Individual letters will also make for a wonderful display around your wrist, or, as more and more fashion conscious teenagers are currently displaying, around your waist!  Yes, it is true that charms may now be worn as belts.  Of course, in this it is a good idea to combine two or three strands to form a wider belt and to reduce the risk of breaking.

Another way that young people have found for wearing these charms is in combination with other jewelry, such as Pandora Beads.  If you choose to mix and match different kinds of jewelry, make sure that the links are strong and that the proportions fit, so that you do justice to each kind of jewelry.
