The boom in collectibles in the 1990s drove a huge demand for vintage
charms and charm bracelets. A gold charm costing $10 in 1950 easily
commanded $70 to $80. Vintage mechanical charms (charms with moving
parts) often sold for over $100 and were highly prized by serious
collectors. Even with the advent of massive buying and selling arenas
like eBay, prices for vintage gold charms remain strong and show no
sign of decline in the new century.
As the year 2001 opened, the fashion industry once again discovered
the lure of the charm bracelet, flooding the market with new charm
styles in all price ranges. Fashion giants like Louis Vuitton have
brought the glamour back to charm bracelets, declaring them the
must-have accessory for any occasion. And if the past is any
indication, charm bracelets will be in style for quite sometime |
