I never liked them either b/c I just hate when there is hype about anything not so great, it just turns me off....however, then someone bought me one and now I am excited that I have a bead from all my family members...which they picked out just for me. I actually like the anklet much better than the bracelet...looks nice w/summer shoes/flip flops. So I am no longer a hater Chat Icon

Now an anklet I could get with!

I love mine, but I'm so big on all my jewelry meaning something. So I don't have any charms that are just pretty, they all relate to events in my life.

I don't like them.

I don't find them aesthetically pleasing & it is not my style to wear my life story on my wrist.

It's not my style so it does not even matter how much they cost in the first place. But I see no problems for people who like them.

I do find them outrageous expensive though. I cannot see myself paying HUNDRED of dollards for a silver bracelet with some charms/beads. Like each bead is $60+ and up. I have a large wrist. Chat Icon Regardless it's not for me.

But I don't like Vera Bradley either. They remind me of knitting bags. But hey.... we all have different tastes so that's all good. People may hate what I like.

Re: I'm totally getting flamed for this post.....

they are not my taste either!

They are similar to those bracelets that were trendy about 4 years ago. They were like little metal tiles, and you replaced the plain tiles with ones with initials or symbols that meant something to you.

Does anyone know what I am talking about?

I LOVE mine. It tells a story. Every charm was a gift and there is a meaning behind itChat Icon I also have the double leather bracelet.

i do see the sentimental value in getting charms to mark occasions..

but they are not for me..and overpriced to boot...

I never even heard of them until I noticed everyone on Li seems to have one( just moved here from the city).
I'm sorry but I don't like them and don't get at all why they are popular.

Not my style either. I am not a "collector" of anything so I think the appeal of getting the charms is sort of lost on me.
