The idea for the sterling
silver charms on this page is adopted from a German
tradition for a happy marriage and home. There is
an old tradition of twelve symbols that insure happiness
for a newlywed's life together. The symbols
represented by these sterling silver charms were
researched by Olga Whitehurst (1953).
A wonderful and meaningful gift for the new bride!
Make her bridal shower/luncheon/tea, etc. special and
give her a sterling silver
charm bracelet with these 12 charms on it. Use
these charms in the
charm cake for the cake pull event and present the
charms to the bride as a keepsake of the event.
