    I got rid of 2 charm bracelets begun in 1958...and 1973. I hadn't worn them for years but I am sorry to have given them up. At 72 that's all I miss from decluttering.

    I have both a gold charm bracelet that DH started for me adding a charm for every special event in our lives and my mother's silver bracelet. I never have occasion to wear them but won't give them up so understand your feelings now. I do wear the pearls occasionally. Hard ti declutter those items.

    I sold my high school charm bracelet on ebay last year. Not one regret.

    I wonder who is buying these and why, but there a tons of them on ebay and they sell.

    Wow, that's interesting. I still have mine, and the charms are so personal that I would wonder who would want it. They were really popular back then. I would get a charm for everything--birthdays, clubs I was a part of, prom, you name it.

    Well, I should say that it sells if you priced it low enough. I got rid of mine for I’m thinking $35. I see similar things price at $150 and they’re not selling. Yes, a few of my charms were engraved.

    My favorite charm was a bicycle that had wheels and handles that turned....then another that was the Golden Triangle of Pittsburgh with all three rivers. ( Long before 3 rivers stadium! )

    I had a charm bracelet that my husband bought me when I had my first kid. He got me a couple charms to represent certain things but I never wore it. I am not a jewelry person except for stud earrings and my wedding ring. After over a decade of sitting in my drawer, I got rid of it. I actually got rid of all my unused jewelry and only have other stud earrings that I switch out from time to time.

    I adore vintage sterling silver charm bracelets. The charms from 60+ years ago are so fun. Unfortunately, most are made for more petite wrists than I have. If I ever decided to buy one, I guess I could have a jeweler put an extender on.

    I have blocky wide wrists and mine, circa 1969, dangled appropriately. The dangle is part of their charm.

    I donated my Schwinn Varsity 10 speed bicycle. This was my first "road bike". Many great memories on that bike. It spelled freedom before I could drive and
    adventure after I could. I bought my second road bike at the same store - 40 years later. I love my daily commutes to work and long rides on Saturdays.
