An Italian company in the late 1980's got the idea to make a bracelet out of modular links that could easily be disconnected and exchanged with other links. Many credit European soccer players and fans for the initial wave of popularity of Italian charm bracelets. But when Italian charm bracelets became fashionable in America they became a standard jewelry item. Italian charm bracelets also are a favorite for young girls because they can trade and mix links with their friends. Because links can be easily added and removed from the Italian charm bracelet, Italian charms have become the center piece of personalized jewelry.

• Small – 6.5mm (1/4 inch)

• Medium – 9mm (5/16 inch)

• Large – 13mm (1/2 inch)

• Mega – 18mm (3/4 inch)

 The Italian Charm width determines how wide the actual bracelet is, not a width that will vary the length of the bracelet, so you could say the length of the bracelet. Medium is the most popular width and as such, has the largest choice of charms available.

 Small is for a discreet bracelet, or many it is used for an ankle bracelet.

 Large are also for women, or men, however these charms like the 5mm have minimal choices or selection to choose from.

 The Megas are charms that you can either make one complete bracelet from, or use them to accent a bracelet, watch and connect the two bracelets together.

 The size, in that the amount of links per bracelet is/& varies from person to person according to the size of their wrist.

 This is a general idea or guide:

• Lady: 15-19 Links

• Man:19-21 Links
