In addition to charms that are simply decorative or hold memories of special vacations or other occasions, Christian charm bracelets are perfect for someone of the Christian faith.
A saint charm bracelet or necklace is a lovely way to create an eclectic style of jewelry.
For instance, Saint Francis is the patron saint of animals and birds and a Saint Francis charm would make a lovely gift for an animal lover.
Saint Christopher is associated with travel and therefore a Saint Christopher charm would be perfect for a traveler or someone who is facing a long journey.
Each saint also has his or her own saint's day and buying someone a charm that represents the saint's day of a loved one is also very special.
